Overview
Hi,
I discovered today (unfortunately for the hardcore world I started) that Piglins attack you on the condition that the player places a chest in the nether and opens it themselves, even if said player wears gold armor. A video of this bug recreated has been added. More evidence can be provided if necessary. I have a good chunk of free time with the school cancellations happening.
UPDATE: The same happens when wearing Gold Armor, but a player breaks a chest.
Steps to recreate
Open a world.
Go to the nether.
Find some piglins.
Ensure difficulty isn't on peaceful.
Go into survival mode.
Place a chest.
Open the chest.
Wait for death.
