You get a stack of items. This is especially annoying with items that stack up to 999.
I've already complained about this, and I'm sure it's still on the to-do list somewhere, and we can enter numbers/quantities there at some point. ;)

Creative mode gives you unlimited items, even if you collected/crafted them normally. Losing count is pretty easy when your're in creative so to better control your item count I recommend switching to survival mode (gamemode 0 on the command console)

if the item is craftable, You can first spawn the crafting requirements in creative mode then switch to survival to craft the ammount you want. When your're done, go back to creative mode and put the requirements on the trash.

In creative mode, you can also craft a desired number of items without first creating the requirements.
Stacks involve the items from the list behind the "green plus" button, there are also many items that cannot be crafted.

You mean the "item" console command, or the item spawn menu that comes up when hitting the green "+" icon in inventory? The item spawn menu indeed gives you a full stack atm (as mentioned by @sonobionda), but this will be changed with the next update ;)

When using the "item" console command, however, you can specify the amount of items you want to get via parameter (e.g. "item apple 1" to spawn 1 apple etc).
