Me and my friend were playing a custom made minigame when he encountered a odd glitch using the off-hand feature in 1.9. When he shot me his bow, it showed in the death message that he shot me with his SWORD because that's what he was holding.
1: Get on any world with a friend (or enemy, or whatever)
2: Hold a named item in your hand and a bow in your off-hand
3: Shoot and kill the target and it should say you shot them with whatever item in your hand
I also have a video on this glich on my YT channel: https://youtu.be/BABt7H_rH8w

"[Holy Sword]" just means the sword was renamed; that is not the bug. The bug is that the game uses the held item of the killer *at the point of death* to write its death messages.

it's probably named [Holy Sword] as a april fools think or whatever
