Missing projectile death messages
The bug
When dying to any entity that used a bow, the death message says "Name was shot by Arrow" instead of "Name was shot by Name"
The same goes for shulkers, saying "Name was slain by Shulker Bullet" instead of "Name was slain by Shulker"
Same thing for blazes, when you die by their fireballs, the message is just "Name was slain by Blaze" which is the melee death message i believe.
To reproduce:
- Spawn a mob that shoots projectiles
- Let the projectiles kill you
→
“[insert name here was shot by arrow]” Or “[insert name here was slain by mob]”

Disabling the ability to damage other players only prevents melee attacks from damaging other players. Attacks with a bow or fishing pole still damage/affect other players. This may be related to "MCPE-30360 Projectile Death Message" where arrows seem to kill things rather than the entity firing the arrow.

This was fixed in bedrock, see MCPE-30360 and the changelog to go with it.

Reopening as this mentions other projectile death messages also.

This happens on the latest builds, being 1.14.60 and 1.16.0.59.
If a skeleton kills you with a mele attack the message is “slain by skeleton,” but if the skeleton kills you with a shot it says “shot by arrow.”
I hope they fix this in the Nether Update full release.
Can i have ownership as the owner has not been active since november?
How is this still an issue honestly - I get that the team is busy but I feel like the community would rather have slower, more polished updates.
Solved
The messages are fixed. Resolve this issue.
lol nice my first ticket to end up in a changelog epic
