/kill Command
Instantly kills one or more entities. If no target is specified, kills the command executor. Bypasses all protective gear, armor, enchantments, and status effects. Affected entities drop loot normally and produce death messages.

/kill @s/kill @e[type=minecraft:zombie]/kill @a/kill @e[type=!minecraft:player]Notes
Totems of Undying do NOT trigger — the kill is unconditional. The Ender Dragon dies immediately without its death animation, directly opening the exit portal. In Java 1.20+, kill damage is attributed to the 'minecraft:generic_kill' damage type. Slimes and magma cubes split into smaller sizes on kill as normal.
