Actually I think I've found the answer. Referencing MC-72245: "Zombies pick up items only at 'hard' difficulty if the local difficulty has increased." This is true. I can also can confirm that it also works on hardcore. Going to try to update the wiki so people are aware. This does mean though that only people playing on 'hard' or 'hardcore' can get this achievement. What about easy or normal?
what is the output of /gamerule mobGriefing
if false, that's intended, also only very little zombies/skeletons/zombie pigman can pickup items
Zombies cannot pickup blocks, only endermen can do that. WAI.
yes they can, the'll pick up dropped items and equip them, that was added back in 1.4
That was the first thing I double checked FVbico. That is not the cause. It appears like it but mobGriefing is true. Also I stated that I tested on a Flat world, 100+ zombies and no item pickup.
not sure, but maby difficulty may be causing it, correct me if I'm wrong

Blocks are different things than items. Title is correct (items), desc is incorrect (blocks).
Thanks Jasper, I fixed the description.

ofor if the local difficulty has increased.Edit: Fix typo
Just ran at noon into a Zombie with golden helmet which has picked up an egg from the chicken in the background.
(SMP server 1.8.1)
'Of' is not a typo, in Dutch, the word for 'or' is 'of'
I've seen the same problem with spawned zombie pigmen, however that was a few months ago in 1.7 and of course I don't know anymore on which difficulty I'm playing.
I know...
Are you Dutch too...?
Nearly, eastern neighbour. (Read: German)
Tested in 1.8.2 pre-1. Zombies on hard difficulty will pick up items, on normal and easy they will not. I would assume this is intended, although the wiki says they should pick items up on normal as well.
No, see my screenshot in normal difficulty. As already said, the local difficulty does count here too.
I'm saying that when I tested it, they didn't pick anything up when I was on normal.
