When you are killed by a potion (like Splash Potion of Harming), your death message reads 'Player was killed by magic'. By renaming items like swords, your death message changes according to the name of said item.
What I expected to happen was:
Renaming a potion of harming and killing a player with it will result in an altered death message.
What happened was:
Death message still reads 'Player was killed by magic'.
Steps to reproduce:
Go into crative mode, get some Splash Potions of Harming
Rename them using an anvil
Go into survival mode
Kill yourself using the renamed potions
Might not be a bug, but seems unintended.

Well I don't think mojang ever meant it to be like this. This is a cool thing to have but I think "killed by magic" is there for a specific reason.
