Relates to MC-119905
When killed by an unnamed mob, the death message displays as
"<username> was slain by <Mob>"
One would expect this to look like one of these instead:
"<username> was slain by a <Mob>"
"<username> was slain by a <mob>"
Named mobs, as well as other players, currently produce grammatically correct messages.
This could be fixed by adding a separate death message for being killed by an unnamed mob, whereas the current death message would be kept for named mobs as well as players.

This is death.attack.mob and death.attack.mob.item.
But, since most of the mob names are proper nouns like "Creeper" the version without "a" should be grammaticaly correct too.

Invalid. They're proper names, as he said.

"Wolf" obviously isn't, though.
CreeperMagnet_
That is true. Valid, then. I'd be interested to how they fix this issue.

Translation string per entity, perhaps? Would be needed for other languages, I think.

There’s the “species” of mob and the name of the mob that killed you. If Minecraft was referring to the specific name of the mob that killed you, zombie, not referring to the category of mob called zombie, it would be grammatically correct, which I will assume it is what minecraft is referring to. If It were referring to the name of the spieces, it would be grammatically incorrect, which it isn’t because the spieces itself didn’t kill you, that specific mob did whose name was zombie, because minecraft doesn’t do stuff like zombie1,zombie2, etc, it would always be zombie. Zombie is capitalized because it is a noun/name. (Not really person but sort of)

Please do not mark unreleased versions as affected.
You don't have access to them yet.
