+    Fixed rare edge case where mcMMO could drop items with stack size set outside normal bounds

+    (Codebase) Fixed unit tests when building mcMMO with Java 25 (thanks Warriorrrr)
 
     NOTES:
     As a semi-permanent work around, mcMMO keeps track of when players swing their weapon, if they have swung it recently enough combat skills will work even if you have a spear in your off-hand.
     Prior to this patch, mcMMO disabled combat abilities when spear was in off-hand to prevent the off-hand spear charge from applying combat abilities from other skills, as mcMMO was unable to determine which item (mainhand vs offhand) caused the damage from the event information alone.
