piglins and villagers cant pick up items when dropped, but piglins barter just fine when right clicked with gold.
i believe this is intended behavior, not all entities can pick up items. also it can also be as gamerule doMobGriefing is off (no mobs can pick anything up)
What is the gamerule "doMobGriefing" set to?
