The Bug
Even with a silk touch tool, such as a silk touch hoe, I can't pick up a sculk shrieker even though it says it's possible in the launcher changelog. When breaking a sculk shrieker with a silk touch hoe, it drops nothing, not even experience. I expect it to drop the sculk shrieker. When breaking the sculk shrieker with a normal hoe, it drops experience as expected.
Reproduce
Get a sculk shrieker
Get a Silk Touch hoe
Mine the sculk shrieker
Observed Result
The sculk shrieker didn't drop
Expected Result
The sculk shrieker would drop, as mentioned in the 21w11a changelogs:
— Sculk Shrieker requires Silk Touch to obtain otherwise drops experience when mined

Hey! I see that it was marked as resolved because it's working as intended. But why is it working as intended when in the changelog it says you can pick them up with silk touch? I have a screenshot of where it says it underlined in red. Here is what it says.
Added Sculk Shrieker block.
Sculk Shriekers can be found growing rarely from the charge of a Sculk Catalyst
Sculk Shrieker can be waterlogged
Sculk Shrieker requires Silk Touch to obtain otherwise drops experience when mined
It says it requires Silk Touch to obtain, otherwise drops experience. The bug I reported says that it currently drops nothing. It gives no experience or sculk shrieker when using a silk touch hoe.
I noted this in MC-249113, but that was resolved as a duplicate. That duplicate didn't note this behavior though. So I created this post.
