 Description   

When a MCPE mob killed by TNT or nockback sword, their "dead body" will not get pushed away.
In PC Minecraft and early days of MCPE(0.8 and earlier), Mob's body will get nocked back a little when get killed, But now, dead entity in MCPE do not get effected by nockback when get killed.
There is only one mob that has nockback effect in MCPE, that is: Horse(If you don't get what is this bug, try to go ahead kill a horse and also kill a sheep, then you will see what's the different between their "dead body".
(Sorry for bad English, but hope you understand)
As the picture shows: only horse's body gets nockback when killed, other mob does not.

Entities that don't walk/ are killed by status effects or explosions aren't knocked back when killed: Created MCPE-67292 and MCPE-67293.

Players aren't knock back at all: Relates to MCPE-46301.

Comment by Makzevu [ 20/Oct/18 ]

Mobs killed through direct attacks and arrow hits experience knockback, but not TNT.

Partially confirmed for 1.7.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Aspergerian [ 24/Aug/18 ]

Fixed in 1.7.0.2.

Example of the expected knockback effect on Java

Notice there is no knockback in Bedrock:

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Aspergerian [ 21/Mar/17 ]

Similar issue to MCPE-12876.

Comment by Irfan [ 25/Feb/17 ]

Yeah you're right aspergerian but when this bug will be fix..i always waiting for it.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Aspergerian [ 23/Feb/17 ]

Almost all mobs seem to have knockback resistance upon death.

This never happened earlier on when 0.8 was still around, and now the only mobs that do not have knockback resistance upon death are horses, donkeys, mules, skeleton horses, and zombie horses.

@Pokwo: All issues are subject to a thorough triage process and will be fixed in order of severity. Begging for bugs to be fixed will not speed up the process. Please keep comments to a minimum here in the bug tracker, it is not a forum.

Comment by Irfan [ 22/Dec/16 ]

This for you guys I have proof it...

Comment by solehuddin power [ 16/Dec/16 ]

Work as intend.In fact,if you hit mobs using sword with knockback 2,the mobs go far than usual.But if you hit the mobs and got kill in one hit,nothing happens like normal sword.You say horse only get knockback due all horse in game has different health,speed and jump scale.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Aspergerian [ 16/Dec/16 ]

Yeah I noticed that as well, that's been around for a long time now (0.12 and before perhaps?).

The mobs also have two sounds overlapping each other upon death, and that's also been around for a while too.
