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. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.

Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. We will reopen it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.

Using a leash doesn't even count on a fence if you're leashing a mob to it.

Dan Midgett 2017-03-18T23:54:38Z

I have also stumbled upon this bug while creating a custom map. It would be nice if this could be fixed as you can't currently tell without it with command blocks if the player used a name tag. And there are a lot of useful features that could be added if this was possible. For instance, the ability to keep custom mob combinations intact if one of the stack is named. Also to recognize if a player named entities and how many in a puzzle game using the mechanic. As it is I'm going to have to create a custom item for a player to toss or hold to indicate they renamed an entity which is a pain. Or just replace name tags with my own custom items.

In minecraft 1.12.2 stat.useItem.minecraft.knowledge_book also doesn't work, the scoreboard objective doesn't go up when I use a knowledge book.

Affects 18w33a.

How to reproduce

Change the name of a Tag.
Type this command /scoreboard objectives add NameTagTest minecraft.used:minecraft.name_tag
Type this command /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar NameTagTest
Use the Tag with a mob.

--> ❌ The scoreboard won't increase.

BTW: This is a "How to reproduce" from the screenshots, I wrote it because it's easier to copy&paste the commands (which were outdated).

Can you please make the following changes:

Remove the "Using bonemeal on grass or plants counts, as does using cocoa beans on jungle wood, but using them or any other dyes on on sheep or wolves does not count." because bonemeal is no longer counted as a dye and 2 bullet points underneath you have "Dyeing a sheep/wolf/cat"
Add getting mushroom or suspicious stew from a red or brown mooshroom
Add using a golden apple to cure a zombie villager
Add equipping a chest on a donkey, mule, llama, or trader llama
On "Breaking blocks such as leaves and tall grass by left-clicking with shears is counted as using the item, but shearing sheep or mooshrooms with right-click is not." could you also add shearing the head off of a snow golem
For "Using wheat_seeds on farmland to plant them counts, but feeding them to a chicken does not." also add parrots
Add using a water bucket to catch a cod, salmon, pufferfish, or tropical fish

Thanks a lot, hopefully Mojang gets around to this old bug

This issue also affects placing wolf armor onto wolves and shearing wolf armor off of wolves in Minecraft 23w51b.

Also affects putting maps into item frames, or more generally putting any item into an item frame.
