 Description   

I wanted to reordner my chests and furnaces, but have forgotten to get everything out of the furnaces. as i broke those, i did not get any experience for anything inside. the furnace was not alightened anymore, so i have forgotten to check if it is empty.

to reproduce this:
1. fill in a few raw (maybe 8, like i had) chicken (or anythin else what can be smelted) and a coal in the furnance to get it hotten
2. wait for the coal to burn down
3. when the work is done, grab your pickaxe and collect the furnace. it will drop you the cooked chicken and the furnace as intended, but no experience you would get for cooking the chicken.

Might need reconsidering now that furnaces store XP.

Oh dear. Thanks.

Does anyone have any reason to believe this is not a bug?

Yes. Mojang:

Why was this marked "works as intended"? Does anyone have any reason to believe this is not a bug? By the way, I tested this in 14w02c, and furnaces still don't give XP when mined.

Can confirm.

Confirmed, still in 1.4.4. Furnace and items drop but no xp. Tested all pick axes too.
