 Description   

Note: This doesn't work in vanilla, I've sat here for 30 minutes now trying to get it work in vanilla and it doesn't.

You can throw zombies swords, and then kill it with looting and it dupes the item you threw to the zombie.

How to reproduce on spigot:
Get a zombie
Throw a sword at it (enchanted or not)
Kill it with Looting 3
You get your sword back (and an extra)

It is already fixed

I'm having this glitch as well on a multiplayer server with Spigot 1.9.

  • No looting needed, works regardless of how the zombie dies.
  • Works with any item that a zombie picks up.
  • Also works with saddled pigs. They drop 2 saddles when dying.

Yes, please update your Spigot version, it should already been fixed:

Cannot reproduce that (not even with looting 10 or 100)
Try to update your spigot.jar

As a temp measure of security against this:
/gamerule mobGriefing false

It does disable the pickup, but still might want this patched.
