Mobs do not drop anything when killed
The Bug
Edit: Please report this bug as Invalid as I accidentally had doMobLoot as false. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
Ever since snapshot 24w18a, mobs killed do not drop any experience or their usual drops at all.
See the videos attached. I do not have any datapacks installed, and both are vanilla unmodified instances.
How to Reproduce
In 1.20.6, spawn a mob that drops something commonly (like a cow), and kill it. Note how it drops experience and sometimes drops its usual drops.In snapshot 24w18a, spawn a mob again as before and kill it. Note how it does not drop any experience or drops, no matter how many times you try.
Additional Notes
In the videos, I killed the mobs with my fist. This is because I thought that only then would mobs not drop anything. However, they do not drop anything even when killed with a weapon.
I have the Strength effect in the videos to allow me to quickly kill the mobs. However, I have confirmed that mobs still drop nothing, even without Strength.

Important Note!
Please ignore the instructions in the bug report. For some reason the world in the notice at the top makes all mobs drop no XP nor any drops. This is an upgraded world but I am not sure what upgrade path it was. I could not reproduce this bug except with that specific world.
The world was never opened nor created in a modded version of Minecraft (e.g. Fabric) and never had any datapacks. It was most likely created in 1.20.6.
No matter what I tried, I could not reproduce this issue in any other world, only the one that I attached.
Edit: Spent about an hour trying to reproduce this bug in new worlds with no success. Also seems to relate to
MC-271493.
Yes, I just realized that. This may be because this is an upgraded world.
I will test this further.
Edit: This is a weirdly inconsistent bug. I cannot reproduce it on any world but that world as shown in the video.
