I was killing all item entities with the following command: /kill @e[type=Item], when a tile entity with the name item.tile.notGate. The first item that comes to mind for this is the redstone torch, but I am pretty (not 100%, but pretty) sure that I had no redstone torches as item entities. Also, I have used the /kill @e[type=Item] command many a time before, and never seen it up until now. Unable to reproduce.
I had to mark it as a 1.8.9 bug, but the version I was in was 1.8. I was using Forge, so I was in 1.8. Here are a list of mods that were installed:
[1.8]bspkrsCore-universal-7.01
[1.8]ArmorStatusHUD-client-1.29
[1.8]StatusEffectHUD-client-1.27
[1.8]DirectionHUD-client-1.24
worldedit-forge-mc1.8-6.1
Thank you for your report.
However, your ticket has been resolved as invalid.
This ticket relates to a modified or 3rd party client, server, or launcher.
Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
This site is for addressing issues related to the base unmodded Minecraft; Bukkit, Forge, Optifine, modded servers such as The Hive, Overcast, Showbot, Hypixel or any other modded system invalidates your ticket, unless the behavior can be reproduced in Vanilla.
Additionally, if you have problems on large-scale modded servers, please report it to their site. It's probably not a bug in Vanilla Minecraft.
