Mobs drop their items quite far on death

This is more of an annoyance than a bug, but when a mob dies, the drops can get spewed out quite far, up to a few blocks away. This can be annoying when I'm out killing mobs, I kill a mob and expect to collect their drops from their corpse, but they were actually flung out in a random direction.

Are The Drops Falling Onto Transparent Blocks?

No, just onto regular ground.

Are you using knockback or punch? I find that usually the items themselves drop as soon as the mob dies (which is normally quite close to me) but the xp orbs spawn moments later wherever the body winds up. This to me is annoying as now I have to chase the xp orbs down.

I really hate that, which is why I consider knockback a downside to swords...
But the drops go abnormally far whether I use knockback or not.

It applies to breaking block drops too. Reeds/bamboo, so on. I once ran though my bamboo farm and found bamboo stalk drops 4-5 blocks away.

This is not a bug report. Annoyances, feature requests, and perceived improvements can either be tracked on the wiki or on the forums. This is for bug reports only.

Fair enough, but I don't think the resolution should be "Cannot Reproduce".

True, I should have picked invalid. 🙂
