I built a zombie spawner trap to drown zombies to collect rotten flesh, but the zombies do not drop rotten flesh (or anything else) and nothing is in my collection area. I've watched dozens of them die in the trap, but nothing has dropped. I tried the wiki, Google, the forums and Jira for any reports of anyone else having the same issue but haven't seen anything related to zombies not dropping items when drowned in pocket edition, and the same trap works just fine in the desktop edition (same trap outlined in the "Minecraft Survive & Thrive" youtube series).

Confirmed for zombies and skeletons for me since 0.12.1 on iOS. Both drowning and falling mobs no longer drop expected items, except for armour. Also, burning undead mobs no longer drop items either when exposed to sunlight.

Does this bug still appear in 0.13.1? If so please respond.

This is a duplicate of MCPE-11086, and yes, it affects 0.13.1.
