In 22w13a, Allays were able to pick up items for me just fine. However, I had gone over to 22w14a when it released, but now the allay can't pick up items. I have a video to show what I'm talking about. You can find it at https://youtu.be/PZKwsN5AHJg
In the description, I mentioned that all the mods and stuff I used in my older reports were causing a bunch of lag and other issues, so I completely removed all files for Java Edition from my computer and reinstalled it all, so I'm using only the base files.

I canot reproduce this issue. You should check /gamerule mobGriefing as stated by Sculk Man in the above comment.
mobGriefing does seem to affect this. I assume there's a WaI/Invalid ticket about mobs not being able to pick things up with that gamerule somewhere?
I am unsure why this report was reopened: it describes the intended behaviour of the mobGriefing gamerule.
The issue here is that allays don't ignore items when the "mobGriefing" gamerule is set to "false", not actually the fact of how they cannot collect the items; that's just the gamerule working as expected.
I can confirm this behavior in 1.19.1 Pre-release 1. Also note that this issue isn't environmentally exclusive as currently stated within this ticket.
[media]EDIT: This same concept also applies to villagers and I've created a ticket regarding this at MC-253480.
Please check if you have biodestruction turned on
The directive is gamerule mobGriefing true
