Creepers don't drop XP and gunpowder after updating from Paper 25.1.2 to Purpur 26.2 #1789

Description

@darkcenturies

Spark link

Spark gives off an error on 26.2

Expected behavior

Creepers drop XP and gunpowder.

Observed/Actual behavior

Creepers don't drop anything.

Steps/models to reproduce

Update to latest version of Purpur and kill a creeper.

Purpur version

This server is running Purpur version 26.2-2596-HEAD@f7cad79 (2026-06-20T21:48:54Z) (Implementing API version 26.2.build.2596-experimental)

  • You are running the latest version
    Previous: 26.1.2-72-1a6b910 (MC: 26.1.2)

Agreements

  • I am running the latest version of Purpur available from https://purpurmc.org/downloads.
  • I have searched for and ensured there isn't already an open issue regarding this.
  • I ticked all the boxes without actually reading them
  • My version of Minecraft is supported by Purpur.

Other

I tried disabling all the plugins.

/loot give @s kill @e[type=creeper,limit=1,sort=nearest] also correctly gives me gunpowder so it doesn't look like it's a datapack issue? Making a custom datapack doesn't resolve it. All other mobs drop loot and XP from what I tested.
