MC-253480Villagers don't ignore items when the "mobGriefing" gamerule is set to "false"
The Bug:
Villagers don't ignore items when the "mobGriefing" gamerule is set to "false".
[Mojang] elvendorke recently changed the title of MC-250020 to "Allay doesn't ignore items when mobGriefing is set to false", therefore indicating that allays should ignore items under these circumstances. Since this same concept can also be seen with villagers, I'm inclined to believe that this behavior isn't intentional, hence my reasoning for creating this ticket.
Please also note that this report isn't a duplicate of MC-3370. This ticket (MC-253480) describes how villagers don't ignore items when the "mobGriefing" gamerule is set to "false", not actually the fact of how they cannot collect them.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place down a composter and summon a villager nearby.
- Set the "mobGriefing" gamerule to "false".
/gamerule mobGriefing false
- Throw some items that the villager would normally be able to collect on the ground, for example, some carrots.
- Wait for the villager to notice the carrots and begin pathfinding towards them.
- Take note as to whether or not villagers ignore items when the "mobGriefing" gamerule is set to "false".
Observed Behavior:
Villagers don't ignore items.
Expected Behavior:
Villagers would ignore items.

The issue here is that allays don't ignore items when the "mobGriefing" gamerule is set to "false", not actually the fact of how they cannot collect the items; that's just the gamerule working as expected.
I can confirm this behavior in 1.19.1 Pre-release 1. Also note that this issue isn't environmentally exclusive as currently stated within this ticket. MC-250020.png
EDIT: This same concept also applies to villagers and I've created a ticket regarding this at MC-253480.
