Version: This server is running CraftBukkit version 3856-Spigot-94e187b-b76ceb4 (MC: 1.20.1) (Implementing API version 1.20.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)
Plugin: No plugins
Guidelines Read: Yes

 Description   

If a player dies near a Sculk Catalyst, causing it to bloom, the player will no longer drop XP for  subsequent deaths in the same session. Reconnecting to the server resolves the problem until the next death near a Sculk Catalyst.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Place a Sculk Catalyst
  2. Acquire XP (i.e via /xp add)
  3. /kill near the Sculk Catalyst, causing it to bloom
  4. Respawn and acquire more XP
  5. Remove the Sculk Catalyst
  6. /kill again, noting how no XP is dropped
  7. Reconnect to the server and acquire more XP
  8. /kill again, noting how XP is now dropped correctly
