I am still not getting any armour drops I have totalled 256 hours and I have gone from pretty regular drops to 0 this is realms only. On single player I set up a zombie farm and it drops every 3 zombies pretty much as it used to be on realms. I understand it shouldn't be every armoured mob but after several hundred 0 is not right either.

Armour does drop; however, it seems that the drop rate is currently too low.

On android I am getting armor and weapons from mobs. 0.16.1 possibly an iOS only issue

Playing single player has normal drop rate for me even in 0.16.1 but in Realms there is still 0 drop rate of armour.
Survival mode hard realms.

Hi I have just spent 15 minutes on single player (hard) survival and I have full armour from mobs.
It seems the top rate is less perhaps but on realms it's 0 still.

Can you confirm if this affects single player as well as realms?

Assume the god of chance is not with you
I have been getting armour from my zombie converter, now at a more PC-esque rate

I have been playing for most of the afternoon, I cannot tell you how many mobs I have killed in this time but not one has drop any of their amour this includes in the nether.
I have dozens of chests full of armour that mobs regularly drop ratio or no ratio there has been no dropped what so ever since 0.16.0

Mobs aren't supposed to drop armor every time; zombie drop rate is 8.5% for naturally spawned equipment

I'm playing right now and I'm not getting armour for killing mobs who are wearing armour.
This is NOT fixed
