Zombies DO NOT pickup items

What I expected to happen was...:

I drop an item near zombie and it picks the item up.

What actually happened was...:

Instead, the item remained on the ground. Tested with multiple zombies. As well as Zombie villagers. Also with naturally generated (Night time) and spawn eggs.

Steps to Reproduce:

1: Find a zombie or spawn zombie in with egg.
2: Drop item near them
3: Await the zombie to not pick item up 🙂

Yea for some reason zombies dont pickup items in 1.15.2 , idk about 1.15 but they do pick them up at 1.14 version , mm

Try putting the difficulty to hard. If that does not work, use the /summon command.

Update:

a) tested spawning in with commands. Wasn't working still.

b) tested different items. Nothing.

c) using MCStacker to properly write commands, ensured that "able to pick up loot" argument was stated. Spawned in w/o command block and zombie picked up diamond sword.

Conclusion: It seems 20w16a is NOT spawning zombies with ability to pick items up.

Although, thoughts are still VERY welcomed lol 🙂

Cannot Reproduce - please note that not all zombies can pick up loot - it depends on overall difficulty, and regional difficulty, please read these articles:
