I build a skeleton xp farm and when I spend 25 minutes of grind xp and drops only 8 bones droped with 100 skeletons droped but arrows and bows is dropes normaly. In nether I killed 20 blazes and get only 1 blaze rod. I don't know other mobs drop items normaly but I only found this issue with skeletons and blazes. My device is Samsung galaxy J7 2017

I have this problem as well in the latest official version, I've tried all sorts of killing methods but the skeletons very rarely drops bones which is odd for this mob, killed like a hundred skeletons and only got one bone.

My last comment tentatively confirmed on my end.
I finally got a thunderstorm, turned villagers to witches and killed them all, freeing up entity cap. I then went to skeleton farm and they were dropping bones again. I also checked pigmen farm, which is way outside of simulation distance, and they started dropping flesh again.
For anyone else with this problem: try freeing up entity cap (killing mobs, extra villagers, cows, cave lighting, etc.) Apparently simulation distance doesn't matter, there's some kind of world entity cap.
I have the same problem, found a skeleton spawner and made a grinder out of it. It worked great for maybe 3 hours and then out of nowhere no drops at all. Tried using a looting 3 sword but no difference. Also tried reducing the amount of mobs around till the area was completely empty but no change. Can confirm that it's happening on two different devices at the moment. HTC u11 and OnePlus 5t both on 1.0.7.13. both survials mode on hard.
