This is a strange and potentially game-breaking bug, initiated via a very unusual process. View the attached images in the correct order (1, 2, then 3) to see how it is done. In summary (though I strongly recommend you view the images), the bug is created while wearing boots with +Infinity and -Infinity (yes, infinity. Not some obscenely large number, not the ∞ character, but an actual infinite attribute, which is possible in Minecraft with some work and/or modification) Armor Toughness attribute, and taking normally-fatal damage while wearing them. This initiates a strange state. View the images to see what I'm talking about.

This bug is game breaking in that, though the item which initiates it can only be obtained with mods/plugins, it can still be initiated in Vanilla Minecraft with the item. Saved Toolbars allow you to bring an item usually only obtainable with mods into Vanilla Minecraft, even singleplayer, and if you do so, it will work. Many players have access to servers with mods, and all one needs is a single server with a plugin that lets you add Infinity attributes, and this can be used in any Creative world.
See MC-19690
Hello, Kumasasa, I hate to be annoying, but this but is not at all the same as MC-19690. I know the “fake death” glitch, I have done it; it’s not the same as this. Unlike in MC-19690, here you do not receive a death message at all, here your screen jitters as if you were dead, here you actually appear in game mode survival to have no health. Sorry to annoy you, yet again, but this is a decidedly unique bug.
If the bug comes about only because of modded content, then that makes this invalid. If it can be reproduced with actual vanilla content, something that can be obtained via vanilla means only, then it could be considered a bug.
I've just experienced this issue in a moddded world while wearing 4 pieces of armor with an armor toughness of 7 (from tinkers' armory). I'm stuck in this state and there's nothing I can think of to fix it. More than an exploit, I'd call this a very destructive bug, as within this altered state I'm unable to take damage, pick up items, interact with any blocks with a GUI (they immediately close) and the screen shakes violently.
In which way this is game breaking when this condition can only obtained with mods?
