Possibly due to Grum's noted 14w06a change: Grum's techy notes on Twitter.Fixed server referencing Entities by origin, client referencing by eyes (!!)
In first person mode, items and XP orbs no longer fly towards the player's hand (eyes, really) upon pickup, instead flying and being absorbed into the player's feet, where the origin of the entity supposedly is.
This is an awkward aesthetic bug which can be troublesome; sometimes you cannot see whether you've picked an item up because it's flown into your feet, not your chest where you can see it every time.
Compare with versions before 14w06a/1.8 to see the difference.

This is not WIA.
Grum's technical notes say that client now references by origin of entity now as of 14w06a.

This is used to play the animation effect (entity is rendered flying from the ground to the entity picking it up's position). Position on the client used to be the eye level, but it was refactored in 14w06, so this animation now flies to a point much lower.
Looking at Mojang's post for 14w06a: https://mojang.com/2014/02/minecraft-snapshot-14w06a/
No mention whatsoever of this "intended change".
Besides it makes no aesthetic sense nor does it satisfy any need for change. Many times you can no longer tell what or if an item has been picked up because it goes under you, not into your chest.
Please reopen.
I don't know who marked this as affecting 14w18a. In that snapshot there is no pickup animation at all.
It's still there but plays super fast, so it's almost like there wasn't one at all.
The effects of this bug still apply too, further reducing awareness of whether an item was picked up or not.
This is one of the most core animations mc has had, hope Mojang doesn't botch this up too o.o
No, this is still not fixed. Nothing has changed here. Also don't get mislead by the attached screenshots. It's about first person mode.
The items are not necessarily moving towards the feet, as some already stated. They move towards the knees/torso it looks like from first person.
If that is the bug, then it's affecting 1.14.4 and 1.15-pre1.
I can't reproduce this in 20w07a, xp gets sucked to my torso:

This is the intended height as evident by @unknown's comment in MC-11519
Still in 14w11b
