Yeah, that's the inventory stacking glitch: User_blog:Christian_Wilson/Inv._Stacking_glitch. It only happens in survival mode, not creative. And it happens with any block type.

If you have a stack of 1 (a single block) and a stack of 255 and you put the 1 onto the 255, you'll get a stack of 256 and a stack of 1 (256+1).

Then put the 1 on top of the 256 and you'll have a stack of 2 and a stack of 257 (2+257).

Then put the 2 on top of the 257, and you get 259+4.

Then put the 4 on top of the 259 and you get 8+263.

It continues: 271+16, then 32+287, then 319+64, then 128+383, then 511+256, and on and on. The numbers go up into the billions, then suddenly you get what looks like a stack of 1 (a single block with no number). This block is "cursed", you can't move it, use it or throw it away. It uses up a space in the inventory forever.

So don't do that (-:
