On a server with high ping, the player can be damaged by mobs that it cannot see.

      When I log into this server, sometimes I have high ping. Occasionally, if mobs can spawn around me during this time of high ping, they will, however I will not be able to see them as they do not render for me before I get disconnected. I log back in missing hearts because I was attacked by mobs that had not even rendered for me.

      I am posting here in case this is something fixable, where the game only allows rendered mobs to move or do things. These rendered mobs would also have to be rendered client side too to avoid this incident where you are getting damaged by invisible or phantom mobs.

      Sorry if this isnt' fixable or reasonable to post here, I thought I'd try since I get very angry whenever this happens as it renders the game unplayable. I know ping issues are on me, and only I can change that; however: I was simply hoping there might be something wrong with minecraft that was causing this. Something that makes non-rendered mobs move and do things.

      I also am not sure if multiplayer is outside the realm of fixing possibility, so I apologize if that's also foolish.

      I have no screenshots and would rather not try to replicate this happening since I do not want to lose my things.

      To replicate I would make sure I have bad ping when I join a server, make sure it's night or you're in some other mob-spawnable area, and just walk around. Sometimes standing still works too, but it would work better if you move around. When you get ping-kicked or disconnect yourself, you will log back in dead or missing health.

      Unfortunately I don't know that much more about my device specifics-wise, nor those of the server I'm having the issue on. 

      And again, sorry if this isn't a reasonable report due to either it being about an unfix able client side issue or multiplayer. I had to try to look for a solution to this somewhere as it also happens to other people on this server.
