Don't send legacy clients their own death event#1296
Merged

Conversation
Clients up to 1.13.2 run the local death handling on their own entity death event, clearing their own inventory client-side (most visibly an emptied hotbar on the death screen, since modern servers don't resync the inventory on death). The death screen still shows from the health update. 1.14+ clients no longer clear the inventory.

I actually want to go back and check something beanes brought to me, that we need to ensure that a corresponding update health packet is sent so the client properly handles its own death. For a case in which a modern server sends a death event directly without updating health, should that occur with plugins or what have you. |
