    Is it just me or if I hit someone into the void, or knock them off a cliff, or any indirect kill of mine, it doesn't give me a credit?
    Sometimes lightning from Mages will make it say they "died" and then I may or may not get the credit, but other than that it seems like it's glitched.
    1) Is that just me?
    2) If it's not just me, is it MC or Brawl

    You only get the kill if you kill him.
    So if someone dies from void damage, but you knocked him off, you won't get the kill

    But it gave you credit before so that's why I'm confused now.
    And if it never gave you credit before on this server, shouldn't it..? Lol

    It did. Idk if it ever did on Brawl but on MCCTF it did (at least before 1.8) and on other servers it definitely did...before 1.8. I think it's a 1.8 thing because I definitely remember it did a year+ ago

    Edit: it would say stuff like "~~~ was knocked into the void by ~~~"
    "~~~ was pushed off the edge by ~~~"
    I remember it even got pretty specific like
    "~~~ was shot out of the water and into the void by ~~~"

    So yeah it definitely did....

    it never was a thing, only the people who died got a message that they were knocked off an edge or something.
    it has been suggested though

    Lmao I mean it definitely was a thing, idk if it was on Brawl but it definitely was I'm not hallucinating that.
    Here's from the wiki; (I bolded the ones PvP related that are glitched out)

    Death messages are broadcast to everyone on the server upon a player's death. These messages relate to how the player died and some are intended to be humorous. Death messages were added in Beta 1.8 Pre-release. New death messages were added in Snapshot 13w02a.



    Anvil

    • [player] was squashed by a falling anvil
    Cactus

    • [player] was pricked to death
    • [player] walked into a cactus whilst trying to escape [player/mob]
    Dispenser when using arrows

    • [player] was shot by arrow
    Drowning

    • [player] drowned
    • [player] drowned whilst trying to escape [player/mob]
    Explosion

    • [player] blew up
    • [player] was blown up by [player/mob]
      • "[player] was blown up by [player]" shows up only when TNT is activated by a player using flint and steel.
    Falling

    • [player] hit the ground too hard
      • Only caused if the player is killed by a short fall or Ender Pearl damage.
    • [player] fell from a high place
      • Caused by a fall greater than 5 blocks.
    • [player] fell off a ladder
    • [player] fell off some vines
    • [player] fell out of the water
    • [player] fell into a patch of fire
    • [player] fell into a patch of cacti
    • [player] was doomed to fall (by [mob/player])
    • [player] was shot off some vines by [mob/player]
    • [player] was shot off a ladder by [mob/player]
    • [player] was blown from a high place by [mob]
      • Only caused if knockback from a Creeper explosion or Ghast fireball causes the player to fall to their death.
    Fire

    • [player] went up in flames
      • This message appears if the player died while in the source of the fire.
    • [player] burned to death
      • This message appears if the player died while on fire, but not in the source.
    • [player] was burnt to a crisp whilst fighting [player/mob]
    • [player] walked into a fire whilst fighting [player/mob]
    Mob

    • [player] was slain by [mob]
    • [player] was shot by [mob]
      • Only caused by mobs with projectile attacks
    • [player] was fireballed by [mob]
    • [player] was killed by [mob] using magic
    • [player] got finished off by [mob] using [weapon]
    • [player] was slain by [mob] using [weapon]
      • Only caused by mobs holding renamed weapons
    Lava

    • [player] tried to swim in lava
    • [player] tried to swim in lava while trying to escape [player/mob]
    Other

    • [player] died (shows when killed by lightning)
    Player versus Player (PvP)

    • [player] got finished off by [player] using [weapon]
    • [player] was slain by [player] using [weapon]
      • The phrase 'using [weapon]' only appears for kills using a renamed weapon.
    • [player] was shot by [player]
      • Only happens for kills using a bow. If the bow is renamed it will also show 'using [bow name]' at the end of the message.
    • [player] was killed by [player] using magic
    Potion of Harming

    • [player] was killed by magic
      • Only happens when the potion is shot from a dispenser, by drinking it, or with the effect command
    Starvation

    • [player] starved to death
    Suffocation

    • [player] suffocated in a wall
    Thorns Enchantment

    • [player] was killed while trying to hurt [player/mob]
      • Can be caused by a mob if it is able to wear armor
    Unused

    This message is never used since snowballs, chicken eggs and ender pearls do not cause any damage to players, they will only hit them.

    Void (including /kill command)

    • [player] fell out of the world
    • [player] fell from a high place and fell out of the world
    • [player] was knocked into the void by [player/mob]
    Wither effect

    • [player] withered away

    So um yeah...that's that now that we know it's actually a thing lol, I think it's a 1.8 glitch because I'd seen it until this year when I came back to MC

    All of these were only shown to the player that died :L

    I even made a topic about it (on discourse) to suggest fixing this

    You never ever got the kills if you knocked someone in the void etc. and you should stop suggesting that it used to be like that after two people told you that you are wrong.
