 Description   

while making a pvp map i realized as I was trying to kill myself with potion that when I did kill myself with potion, it added a point to my scoreboard. It was only me on the server and no one else so I couldn't be killed by anything. I have animals and mobs disabled.

The fixed behavior is correct. I'm considering to have a new stat for "accidents" (counts how of players kill themselves) some time in the future (after 1.9, not for 1.9)

Comment by KingSupernova [ 02/Dec/15 ]

Why is this considered a bug? The scoreboard was doing exactly what it was supposed to- counting the number of kills. It shouldn't matter who you killed.

Tested today to still be happening in 1.8.3. Game mode should technically be Survival and Adventure.

Comment by Galaxy_2Alex [ 25/Oct/14 ]

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Confirmed for 14w32d

Comment by Ryou Pony [ 10/Feb/14 ]

Confirmed still happening in 14w06b. Suicide with Splash Potion of Harming causes the score to increment by one for the player who killed themself.

Confirmed in 13w06a.
