[MCPE-18371] Looting Sword Causes Game to Crash

^{Edited by}@unknown
Using a sword with 'Looting' enchant can cause the game to crash when mobs wearing armour are dispatched quickly. (Attacking with anything without the looting enchant doesn't cause the same issue it seems)

Steps to Reproduce:

Set game difficulty to 'hard'
Attack several hostile mobs that are wearing armour using a Looting III sword

(Attached world save for testing)

Tested on Windows 10 edition, version 0.16.2

This will causes creative and survival worlds to crash, and will disconnect you from a realm.

Original description:
When a sword enchants with looting III and you hit any mob the game crashes by so many items that loose the mobs

Confirmed on Windows 10 PC edition on Single player in Creative and Survival, version 0.16.2.

It also causes you to be disconnected from a realm (possibly crashes realm temporarily).

Another repro.
Swing a sword at the mobs in the glass tube and the game crashes pretty quickly.

Appears to be fixed in 0.17.0.2. Tried both testing worlds and killed what feels like hundreds of mobs, and I simply couldn't crash the game - as opposed to only having to kill a few in 0.16.2 before it would suddenly crash.
