## SimpleItemStack :: union

An item stack may be specified in one of two ways.

#### Union members

string | The name of the item, which represents a full stack of that item.
ItemStackDefinition | The detailed definition of an item stack.

#### Examples

    -- Both of these lines specify an item stack of one iron plate
    {name="iron-plate"}
    {name="iron-plate", count=1}

    -- This is a stack of 47 copper plates
    {name="copper-plate", count=47}

    These are both full stacks of iron plates (for iron-plate, a full stack is 100 plates)
    "iron-plate"
    {name="iron-plate", count=100}
