When a Villager takes fall damage, they run around but they're not supposed to because animals don't run around when they take fall damage. When they get into this panic state, they may also summon iron golems if they have previously slept.

They get into this panic state and runs around not matter which form of dammage they take, including being hit by snowballs from a dispenser and it is not only from fall dammage. So the title should maby be change to reflect this?

@unknown Issues are only tracked in the latest version, and cannot have previous versions retroactively added to them (unless a duplicate issue with said version is resolved into it).
I would panic too when injured from a fall.
If I were a villager, and I fall, and I become injured from the fall... then I too would panic and summon an iron golem to protect me while I "limp around the area" from my grievous fall injury.
I know from personal experience... broken legs, are not fun.
Just write it off as a Roleplay experience, and pretend the villagers have a broken leg from their fall, so they summon a golem to protect them.
Can confirm. They also summon iron golems when they panic from fall damage.
