[MC-3735] Sometimes when killing a mob quickly, death sound does not play

Quickly killing a mob causes the death rattle sound to not play.

To Reproduce

Spawn any mob (that is not fire resistant) in lava; notice that it will play the hurt sound upon death instead of the death sound.

Alternative

Place down an always active repeating command block with

scoreboard players tag @e[type=skeleton] add death {HurtTime:1s}

Place an always active chain command block so that the previous command triggers it
```
kill @e[type=skeleton,tag=death]
```
Spawn a skeleton in daylight and observe how it doesn't make the death sound (only hurt sound) when it dies/catches on fire.

Confirmed in 1.4.6.

Affects 1.6.4.

Still happens in 1.7.4, definitely happens most with Zombies.

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w04b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Confirmed in 14w11b.

Not sure if still present in 1.9-pre1. I just killed 512 zombies in 1 hit, every single one played the death sound. Is it that rare, or has it been fixed?

user-f2760 2016-02-17T18:51:55Z

don't kill them in a single hit, kill them with a hit, just after you hit, almost instantly afterwards

Immaterialise 2016-02-17T22:31:59Z

Ok, tested again, but this time killing them with two hits in quick succession, and it is still present in 1.9-pre1. It occured twice in 167 attempts.

I actually had this happen a few days ago in 1.10.2, it may be easier to reproduce in mulitplayer.
Note: we were dealing critical hits every 1/2 second (2 players).

I've not been able to reproduce for far in 1.11. I was using a diamond sword with strength 2 on a skeleton.

user-f2760 2017-02-15T11:38:39Z

Reproduced with a simple command setup, updated the description.

Kraif 2018-08-30T10:27:56Z

Confirmed for 1.13.1.

Can the command method be updated for 19w14b? It doesnt seem to work anymore.

Also, having no luck reproducing this with lava.

I just tried it with a few different mobs:

zombie: death sound
cow: no death sound
chicken: death sound
zombie pigman: Hm, I didn't think this through…
slime: death sound
villager: no death sound
fish: seems to have a death sound, but it's hard to say, because the sounds are similar and there are no subtitles

The two commands translated into 1.13 are:

(except without that backslash, Mojira is acting stupid)

kill @e[type=skeleton,nbt=\\{HurtTime:1s}]

And I can also reliably reproduce it with that.

Confirmed for 19w14b.

FaRo1 2019-04-09T18:03:45Z

I guess you can imagine what command I meant in the previous comment, it just gets worse every time I edit it.

muzikbike 2019-09-26T22:05:21Z

Confirmed for 19w38b with pigs in lava. Can I request ownership?
