MCPE-103703Experience orbs doesn't spread as it should
The experience orbs that are spawned when a mob dies, ore is mined, or a bottle o' enchanting breaks are spawned in the exact same place and doesn't spread.
The expected behavior is for them to spread out in random directions similar to block drops. This worked in previous versions but broke in the latest beta.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Kill a mob, and quickly run away so the orbs aren't attracted to you.
2. Watch as the body despawns and the orbs appear.
→ 
They all spawn in the exact same place, not spread across.

I believe the desync actually occurs with every orb immediately after spawning. It's just not obvious because they have the same initial momentum on both client side and server side (except when MCPE-141467 / MCPE-103703 / MCPE-58715 is in effect 
.)
Steps to reproduce
- In creative, fly 10+ blocks above the ground.
- Throw a Bottle o' Enchanting on the ground, and look at the orbs that spawn.
- Teleport away far enough that the orbs are outside of simulation distance.
- Teleport back, and look at the orbs.
- Relog, and look at the orbs.
Expected result
The orbs appear at the same places after steps 2, 4, and 5.
Actual result
The orbs are at the same places after steps 2 and 5, but after step 4 they appear clumped together at the spot where the Bottle o' Enchanting hit the ground.
I think this means that the position resulting from the initial client-side momentum is not actually saved by the client, and/or the server-side position is only accessible to the client when the orbs initially spawn or initially load from from disk, and never afterward. I.e. the server never updates the client about the position of any orb entities after initial load.
This would have been due to MCPE-103703, with some of the EnderDragon xp falling through the end gateway and appearing at the world spawn point.

affects 1.16.200.56
affects 1.16.100
This appears to be fixed in 1.16.200.57 Beta. Can anyone else confirm?
Yes, this bug is fixed in 1.16.200.57 (testing on Windows 10).
We believe this bug is fixed in the latest beta version, and the fix will be included in a future update when that is ready for full release (no specific date can be given). We will leave this ticket open as a point of reference until the fix has been fully released.
The original reporter has found that the previous fix has regressed in the latest Beta, so I am reopening this ticket.
This was fixed again in 1.16.210.59 Beta.
