Zoglins uselessly attack the wither

The Bug

Zoglins try to attack the wither, but deal no damage. The wither will also not retaliate.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Summon a wither along with a zoglin.

    /summon minecraft:wither ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1b}
    /summon minecraft:zoglin ~ ~ ~
  • Wait for the zoglin to notice and begin attacking the wither.

  • Take note as to whether or not zoglins attempt to attack withers even though they deal no damage to them.

Observed Behavior

Zoglins attempt to attack withers even though they deal no damage to them.

Expected Behavior

Instead, zoglins would not attempt to attack withers since they deal no damage to them, or the withers themselves would receive damage dealt from zoglins.

Can confirm. They behave exactly like they do with armor stands. MC-177122

The wither will also not retaliate.

That's because zoglins are undead, and the wither doesn't attack any undead mobs.

Confirmed in 1.16 Pre-release 8.

Why does zoglin attacks armor stands? Are armor stands mobs?

Can confirm in 1.18.1.

Can confirm in 22w07a

Can confirm in 1.19.2 and 22w44a.

Can confirm in 1.21.3 and 24w46a, but...
All undead mobs are able to aggro on the Wither and attempt to hit him, although they do not inflict any damage. I think it’s necessary to create a general bug report about this issue and mark this report as a duplicate.
