Certain mobs attack while the player is in creative or spectator mode

Open
82

If you summon a group of some mobs and attack them under certain circumstances, they will continue to attack the player even when they change gamemodes which entities should not be hostile to.

Steps to Reproduce:

(Start test in creative mode)

  1. Apply invisibility effect:

    /effect give @p minecraft:invisibility infinite 255 true

  2. Summon 10 or more of the affected mobs (noted in 'notes' section)

  3. Attack one of the affected mobs (drowned must have tridents)

  4. Enter survival mode, and quickly move onto the next within a second

  5. Change gamemode to creative/spectator

Observed Behavior:

One or possibly more of the pillagers will continue to attack the player, even if you switch to spectator, and then creative again. It will stop attacking after you switch back to survival, and then creative again.

Expected Behavior:

The entities would not attack the player in creative or spectator at all, and would lose aggression as soon as the player enters those gamemodes.

For me I was attacked in spectator mode after throwing a chicken egg at one of the pillagers in survival. The rest of the pillagers died by that guy.

This happens for me as well, and being targeted by the pillagers is also when performance starts to drop, so possibly related to MC-157697.

This seems to affect all illagers and zombies; see MC-159867. I added them to this ticket.

Not only can these mobs attack you in creative mode after provoking a group of them, they can also attack you from an infinite distance and through dimensions. This not only allows illagers and zombies to look at you and follow you from an infinite distance and through dimensions, it also allows evokers to send vexes towards you from any point. This glitch is MC-147574, but I think it is the same bug as this one.

It also affects illusioners
