 * `palette_index`: If the item has a palette, this is used to get the
   current color from the palette.
 
+Item metadata is usually not fully sent to client (except the client has
+local map saving enabled or it is disabled globaly by the server). Only
+the fields `description`, `short_description`, `color`, `palette_index`
+and `tool_capabilities` are always sent. If there are any other fields,
+they will be hashed into an additional `_hash` field.

 Example:
 
     local meta = stack:get_meta()
