Can not reproduce... see attached screen shots
note, the level won't change until you actually look at it but it does zoom (for me atleast)
(btw... Thats just a texture change for the map texture, no mods)

The bug
Fishing bobbers are entities but cannot be summoned. You can tell they are by looking in your debug screen when it is just you and a fishing bobber in the world. It will say there are two entities.
Steps to reproduce
1. /summon fishing_bobber
You get an error: "Unknown entity: minecraft:fishing_bobber"
Additional Information
This might be considered a feature request but being that you can summon leash knots (for some reason) and that MC-30568 was valid this should be considered at the very least.
lightning isn't an entity... or so I thought. It's hard coded (no files relating to it in the assest/jar)
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Lightning
"Lightning, unlike other weather, does not have an image file associated with it. Thus, it is coded directly into the game engine, allowing for dynamic, realistic lightning."
Lightning is an entity, it just need to be mapped in the entity list class file. They should really maap this entity, I want to use it!
Let me rephrase then. Lightning isn't a TRUE entity. Like I said, its coded into the lighting engine and thus isn't an entity in the same sense as items so summoning using the summon command won't work. When mod makers make Lightning work they normally force the "engine" to creating it with a little bit of extra behind the scenes.
damn, that would've been cool
Well, now that we can do this, shouldn't this be marked as Fixed?
Done.
This started happening again after the first 1.13 snapshot came out.
Also confirmed for 18w14b
