The experience orbs that are spawned when a mob dies, ore is mined, or a bottle o' enchanting breaks are spawned in the exact same place and doesn't spread.
The expected behavior is for them to spread out in random directions similar to block drops. This worked in previous versions but broke in the latest beta.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Kill a mob, and quickly run away so the orbs aren't attracted to you.
2. Watch as the body despawns and the orbs appear.
→ ❌ They all spawn in the exact same place, not spread across.

affects 1.16.100

This appears to be fixed in 1.16.200.57 Beta. Can anyone else confirm?

Yes, this bug is fixed in 1.16.200.57 (testing on Windows 10).

We believe this bug is fixed in the latest beta version, and the fix will be included in a future update when that is ready for full release (no specific date can be given). We will leave this ticket open as a point of reference until the fix has been fully released.

The original reporter has found that the previous fix has regressed in the latest Beta, so I am reopening this ticket.

This was fixed again in 1.16.210.59 Beta.
