Mobs do not drop XP at the location where they are killed and instead do it at their death location after the animation has concluded.
This can make getting XP from mobs more difficult espiccialy with Knockback. Often in servers it leaves XP orbs lingering on the ground due to a player killing a mob and not chasing it to pick it up too which is annoying and also can potentially cause lag issues.
Steps to reproduce:
Spawn in any mob that drops XP upon death by a player.
Kill the mob in survival
Observe that it’s items drop where it is killed yet the XP is dropped only after it’s animation and at where it dies.

This is direct conflicting information regarding an explicitly stated feature. This is falsely closed in Java and has now been confirmed as being a permanent feature within Bedrock according to the bug tracker?
Explanation on why this is like this is needed.
i have added the response from Sliced Lime regarding the discrepancy. Taking his word first this issue should either be reopened or postponed. Either way I will not stop updating it with information including version numbers and any other stuff I come across. Hopefully the Mod team here can agree with the devs on this and rectify the ticket and eventually... lord knows when.... fix it.
This is still an issue, the video @Amphy2k showed shows how the xp drops as soon as the mob is killed, compared to old Java versions where the xp would drop only when the entity disappears, which is the same as Bedrock.
This issue is now being tracked at MCPE-74963.
Oh wait I see that it says it was cloned by. That must be new! Good to see that it was at least acknowledged that it was cloned. No need to keep this updated then so I will unwatch it. My bad.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Working as Intended.
