Piglins get mad if you open an ender chest near them

The Bug

Piglins get mad when you open certain containers since they assume you are stealing.

You can't steal anything from an ender chest though, so this seems odd.

Also when you open shulker boxes... I really doubt piglins use shulker boxes... They should find a way to make it so it only happens to chests with a special tag that were "placed" by the piglins. 

Pretty sure that shulker boxes are intended, since they're a container, just like regular chests.

I am still seeing this behavior in 1.16pre2. Piglin attacked me when I placed down an ender chest and opened it (I was wearing gold and had just traded with him several times).

I was not expecting this and it was not intuitive to me as a player, even though I was aware they might attack me for opening normal chests.

I would suggest adjusting the algorithm for determining when someone is suspiciously opening a cheat to one of the following:.

  1. A player is opening (or has broken) a naturally generated chest (normal chests and not other variants)  in the nether (not sure if "naturally generated" is tracked now or not, but I think it could be tracked fairly easily).

  2. A player is opening/broken a naturally generated chest in the nether that contains items piglins like (eg gold).

  3. A player is opening/breaen a naturally generated chest in a bastion (should piglins care about anything else? Are other naturally generated chests theirs?)

At any rate I think if a piglin should observe a new chest they should not mind if you are messing with it, and even should asusme it is yours.

As always, this is not a discussion forum, that is what we have Reddit and Discord for. However, the developers have decided that this is intentional behaviour.
