The new Item Stack Component system added in Java snapshot 24w09a is great! As a data pack maker, it's an amazing set of new tools. The system works great while everything remains as an item, but is less contestant when an item is placed as a Block Entity.
For example, a Shulker Box will retain the component data for Custom Name, Lock, and inventory contents, but not for Lore, Custom Data, or any of the other components.
The system is in place for data to be retained when the item is placed and then broken, the "minecraft:copy_components" loot table function accepts all of the new components as valid, but the data is just not there to be read and copied.
My feature request is to expand the list of components that a Block Entity will write to itself when placed to cover all of the new components added so data pack and map creators can make full use of this amazing new tool.
