MCPE-38136Custom entities are labeled as 'Unknown' in various messages
Custom Entities are considered as 'Unknown' in game.
Custom Entities in the lastest beta version not properly function. This will display 'Unknown'. This is considered as a bug for not showing the custom entity id name like entity.minecraft:my_custom_entity.name but they will shown as entity.unknown.name.
This happened in some situations where:
Killed by Custom Entity death message (Is 'PLAYERNAME' was slain by Unknown).(fixed, also seeMCPE-158447)- Boss bar HUD, returns Unknown.
- Container Inventory label, labeled Unknown in the Entity name panel as well.
- Death of your tamed animal: "Unknown died"

This is also happens to me. I loaded a addon sample from Addon Documentation page and i imported it. I summed the custom entities and trying to kill them and i got the same problem it labeled unknown. (Confirmation for android) If this still occurs, i dont feel very right..

this is a behavior pack issue with custom entity but i know there is another bug just like this one i just hope if someone see this.
Edit# i am sorry for incomplete description
here is the bug just like mine or close to my bug MCPE-38136
As you noted, the same issue is already reported as MCPE-38136.
Please add your additional information to that report.
This also showing 'Unknown' when opening the entity's inventory.
What is your device name and operator?
Info Shown:
Device Name: OPPO A71k
Device Model: CPH1801
Device Operator: (Not confirmed)
Well, i didnt use any resource packs for texts, its just display Unknown or entity.unknown.name
I really feel uncomfortable when this issue has not been solved in the lastest release of 1.8.0.11 beta.
Please remember that the Beta is for trying out new features and finding the bugs in them, but the focus is on fixing those bugs in the release. Bugs can require a lot of work to fix, particularly in new and very complex code such as the custom entities. Bugs may not be fixed until the actual release, or the feature may even be postponed to the following release in some cases.
Note that this issue has been related or dupiculated by
MCPE-38696. As the same result as this thread.Windows 10 version 1.10.1 here.
I have a similar issue. I have defined Entity.something:my_custom_entity.name of my custom entity. When I use /kill on my entity it actually displays as it should with proper name, but If I for example get killed by this entity then it displays as ‘player was slain by Unknown’
V 1.12.13 Boss bar also shows unknown as well as items mentioned above (container inventory and killed by message). only the /kill command shows the proper name.
Thank you for your report!

yes this is still an issue
Yes, this is still an issue.
Resolved in 1.13.0.16
Death messages are now correct for regular custom mobs.
for Boss Bars, minecraft:boss component now contains a "name" parameter and it appears correctly on boss bar when set
@Zephira statement is true. This bug was fixed in v1.13.0.16/v1.13.0.17.
Wait, the game have bugs on Entity Container name, it still "Unknown" in the inventory screen name for custom entities, this isn't fully fixed.
This is still not fixed can somebody please look into this thanks!
Entities' names still render as Unknown in containers.
I can confirm this happens on Win10 1.14.0
Last I checked, boss bars work perfectly fine, although that was several months ago. I can say for sure that containers still say "Unknown," not sure about death messages.
Issue still unresolved for containers in custom entities unfortunately.
Still unresolved on all platforms as of 1.18.12. The issue appears to come from the inability to define or label custom runtime identifiers.
Still unresolved for 1.19.2 on Win10 edition... worst is it shows this:
Entity name was already defined in the text files.
And can confirm that it is working properly on majority of the parts.
Even /say command executed to be performed by the custom entity works fine.
15th of february,2023 bedrock version is 1.19.60 .
this bug ain't fixed. Pls mojang help. as a newcomer in behavior pack making it makes me thinks that it was my fault. pls help
Adding more context to this bug.
Issue is still present.
In relation to the Inventory component UI 'Unknown' issue.
Upon the entity being spawned and inventory opened, the entitys name will be displayed as 'Unknown', all other instances of the entitys name will display correctly across the game, its just the Inventory UI.
Also to add, if you re-name the entity (if entity has nameable) the new entity name will display correctly in the inventory UI.
Still got this issue with 1.21.2 please fix
From the previous comment from what Im experiencing this is not correct what I am experiencing is when my custom entity is tamed it still says unknown was killed
Thank you for your report!

Please reopen this issue. It has been a bug for years and several people are awaiting a fix. This is present in all versions of Bedrock.
I can confirm this exists in 1.21.51.
I'll upload a video and world for the devs to look at.
Note that boss health bars can take in lang strings, they are not an issue for this bug.
