 Description   

Whenever I try to harvest a fully grown crop it breaks without dropping seeds or items. The game is set to creative and cheats are enabled. The fantasy texture pack is enabled. Every crop in the game is affected, even cocoa beans. The only thing that seems to drop normally is sugarcane and only when it is more than one block high and is pushed by a piston. Wheat, beets, carrots, and potatoes can be harvested by destroying the block they are planted on. Cocoa beans can be harvested by water. However, trying to harvest any crop with any tool (enchanted and unenchanted) or no tool results in no drops.

Villager farming works normally but they do not drop anything for me to pick up. I have gone to several villages on different worlds and this applies to all of them. This bug is especially annoying since it effectively makes farms useless.

I just checked and farming appears to be normal in survival.

It’s the same for me and I’m in survival mode 🙁

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Working as Intended.

In creative, items are not supposed to drop when broken (apart from a few exceptions, such as shulker boxes that contain items). If you need help or have a suggestion you might like to follow the community support link below.

In creative mode, the blocks will be destroyed instantly, instead of doing the normal break action. Blocks or their drops will not be spawned. Remember, in creative mode, you can get unlimited amount of any supplies, so harvesting isn't necessary. Any automatic mechanism to harvest should still work to test out automated farm designs.

I believe this is intentional.
