Pillager targets creative players close to it

I went in creative, and spawned a Pillager with a spawn egg. When I was about three or four blocks close to him or closer, he pointed at me with his crossbow. Since this weren't the case for the Skeleton and the Stray, I thought it was a bug.

When you remember to use the correct selector for one goal but not the other.

I think this happens because they are like villagers too. You know the phenomenon when you go near a villager, it looks to you? I think the same is happening with the pillager and other illagers as well. The pillager is not targeting you; the pillager is just looking at you while coincidentally having its crossbow charged.

I meant he specifically said that they are just"simply are looking at you like most mobs do", even though that's not the case as you can see in my attached clip

Yeah they're not "targeting" as in trying to kill/aim at the players, but they're staring at them. No other mob does that in the game

Yes, and that's intentional.

That's incorrect, in fact I can't think of any mob that doesn't notice you in Creative mode.

But Pillagers never look away from the player like the other mobs, that's why I said "stare"

did you look at the video clip

Yes. And this report remains closed. This is a feature, not a bug.

It's really distracting for me for a thing meant to be only "a feature", but OK

it's not like I can force the devs to fix it anyways, so I guess i'm fine with this
