I do as well. (Softcore only)

1. Save your game with desired item in a chest

2. Load file

3. Take item out of chest

4. Die. (Method doesnt matter)

5. press Alt+F4 to close terraria (You can also use task manager and either end the application or end the process tree. A shortcut to task manager is Ctrl+Shift+Esc) (Sorry Macs, dont know how it works on your machines.)

6. Reload Terraria

7. The item will be in your chest as well as in your inventory

This works because when you die your inventory is saved, but when you force terraria to close, the world does not save (chests and piggy banks included)
