When zombies (either from spawn eggs, spawners, or naturally spawned) get converted into drowns, they will no longer drop ANY items. Only EXP. Normally they would drop flesh, nautilus shells, gold etc. Basically everything BUT tridents.
This seems like a half step towards drowned parity with java(which is really needed) but its kinda messed up.
How to reproduce:
1. Make a 2 deep pool of water
2. Fill it with as many zombies as you like
3. Wait for them to all convert to drowns
4. Kill them all with looting 3, you will see none of them drop items, only exp.
Note: any zombies that where wearing armor/tools, will drop it when converting to a drown. This is normal.

No, this was fixed in 1.11.
However there is still the issue of drowns having the wrong loot tables, they do not have the updated loot tables like those of java, they have the loot tables of the drowns from very early 1.13 snapshots. so any drown can drop a trident, drowns holding a trident can drop 2, and converted drowns can drop tridents as well.
I don't have a bug report link for this one, however i did cover this in bugrock if you would like more info/demo of this in action. This issue more or less makes tridents valueless.

Ok thanks - we will resolve this ticket. We have an existing ticket regarding the drops of Drowned mobs, which covers some of what you have mentioned: MCPE-32731
Can confirm. Since 1.10, I have gotten zero drops from Drowned converted from Zombies.
