have you ever been making a pvp map and you have dyed leather armor, enchanted weapons, or potions, and to make it so you don't run out, you stack up hoppers and chests? well, probably not, but that's what just happened to me, and i thought, "man, i wish there were a block that let me duplicate items and then put them into a dispenser". and then i had the idea for the duplicator. here are some quick bullet points about the block
it would NOT be craft able, you would spawn it in with the give command
it would have a GUI with a box to put in an item to duplicate, and a hopper sized area for duplicates
it would pump items into the nearest chest, furnace, hopper, dropper, dispenser, or trapped chest.
it would duplicate until its inventory was full, and if it was to be emptied, it would make another.
this would be a nice way to make pvp maps (or any map with gear that is equipped from a dispenser or similar)
easier to make, seeing as you wouldn't need towers of hoppers and chests.
what do you guys think?

No, I'm not trying to be Etho, my name is an unfortunate name that i chose, based on my name, Ethan and the fact that my last name starts with an O. the master part is in there because Etho was taken.
Maybe, but couldn't you just use command blocks to give the various players their weapons and armour?
not if it had enchantments, or if it were leather, not dyable, which i why i think this could be helpful

Source: Where it is copying items from, can be a player name, the nearest/random/all Player commands, or the coordinates of any block with an inventory
Target: Where it is going to, can be any of the things that the source can be, so a player, or the coordinates of a block with an inventory
First Item: What slot the item is in. 0 would be the first slot in whatever inventory you are accessing, and it maxes out at 35, which would be the last slot of a player's hotbar. Any number that cannot be done such as a negative number or a number outside the limit is ignored
Last Item: Allows for you to move multiple items at once. If you specify a Last Item, every item that is in the First Item slot through the last item slot will be copied.
So saying /duplicate John Bob 0 5 would check the slots 0-5 in John's inventory, and copy them into Bob's inventory. If the container does not have room, then it simply halts the operation.

that could work, but it seems (to me) like it would be easier to make another block, although I'm not sure, I'm not a modder in the slightest extent, i would assume that another block would take longer to code, but it would also be easier to use.

I think that adding things like this to command blocks is both much simpler and uses less item ID's. this generally seems like something that could easily be done with a command block, and has no non-cheating use for vanilla ssp. It would also help prevent the inevitable onslaught of people saying "make the duplicator craftable!!!11!one!!" With OP recipes and other stuff.
Love the idea, but I think it should be a command block command.

You better watch closely, or these words just might turn into a juggling squirrel...

yeah, i guess that would be a problem. i mostly prefer my idea because you would need a clock for the command block (right?), and i have a hard time understanding how the command block would work... yeah...

I'd support either the block that duplicates, or the command to duplicate, but the command is obviously preferable.
The command would also allow people to "Save" their "Loadout" into a specific chest.
