@Khamanei Ainsworth yes I know, before the 1.9 update it used to say "Killed [Player]" even though the player didn't get killed. In 1.9, we were able to kill players in creative mode. I'm not sure if this happened in 1.10 or not, but in 1.11 the command simply doesn't work and says that "No targets matched selector".
Why is this marked as a duplicate of MCPE-16732? MCPE-16732 was that the game tries to kill players in creative mode and the message says that the player was killed without actually killing it. In 1.9 that bug actually was fixed. You could kill them like any other player. In 1.10 this got broken. It always only targets players that are not in creative mode even when not specifying that in the command. It simply says "No targets matched selector". Since you used to be able to target players in creative mode using the kill command, this is actually a different bug. I don't understand, why this is marked as a duplicate.
the recent update, 1.9, has made it possible for players in creative mode to be killed using /kill(i'm assuming it's the same in the beta). are you typing in "/kill creative players" literally? because that's not the command lol. it's "/kill @e[type=player,m=c]" to kill all players in creative mode
