Parity: Java 1.15/1.16 death messages are missing/not specific enough in Bedrock Edition
This bug ticket is a parity issue that only includes from Buzzy Bees onwards.
Some of the death messages are:
<player> was stung to death = died from bee sting
Instead it reads = <player> was slain by Bee
<player> fell off some weeping vines = fell from the weeping vines
<player> fell while climbing = fell from the ladder/vines
<player> fell off some twisting vines = fell from the twisting vines
<player> fell off scaffolding = fell from the scaffolding
Instead it reads =
<player> fell from a high place

I think the (Elder) Guardian death message is incorrect as well (I don't have java so it's just a prediction.
The current death message: <player> was slain by (Elder) Guardian
What it should be (prediction): <player> was shot by (Elder) Guardian
Affects 1.16.100
Affects 1.16.200.56 Beta
Affects 1.17.40.20
affects 1.18.2
Another example that is missing:
<player1> was killed by <player2> using <weaponName>
Also, I have found behaviour packs are not able to change the specific causes anymore and some items override others. For exanple, 2 entries deal with a basic fall. If I change generic to "<player> tripped over air" and the other to "<player> tried to fly without an Elytra", the generic one is displayed spite the conditional variants stated in each line.
