When a mob such as a wither skeleton, skeleton, or zombie (e.g. a mob who can wear armor/hold items) is given (via NBT editor or other outside tool) leaves as a "helmet," any items held by that mob will turn green. It's just a graphical glitch and definitely isn't important, but I just thought I'd point it out.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
