Killing guardian with lava does not give cooked fish

This site is for bug reports only. For feature suggestions or changes please see: Minecraft Suggestions on Reddit.

Considering that every other mob that drops a raw meat food item will drop the cooked version when killed with fire, there's good reason to consider this a bug rather than a feature request. If they had forgotten to have rabbits drop cooked rabbit meat when killed with fire, would you also consider that a feature request rather than a bug?

This could be WAI if the fish drop is supposed to be the contents of the Guardian's lunchbox rather than actual Guardian meat or something like that, but absent that clarification this seems a valid bug report.

Present in 1.8.1-pre4

Ya know, bugs CAN be logical errors; they're not always syntactical errors. This is clearly bad logic considering every other mob drops cooked food except Guardians.

Besides, it's Mojang's decision whether this is WAI or not, not mods.

It is the exact thing I try to say.

Sorry about the odd comment I am using my phone and it is has been acting up lately.

To fix this the function furnace_smelt needs to be added to the loot table.

Based on MC-96467 the loot table for the Elder Guardian would need to be changed as well

Not completely fixed in 16w38a, fish dropped by minecraft:gameplay/fishing/fish is still uncooked (also for elder_guardian)

Of course, because fish are not part of the mob that died. They are awarded as a side-loot.

Confirmed for 1.13.1.
