My issue MC-184710 Does not resemble the issue in this ticket. First my issue was incorrectly labeled as a duplicate of MC-147516 and now it has been changed to a duplicate of this issue. My issue is most likely related to MC-2310. I think you should reopen my issue

They also lower their arms when they do this

The mobs also randomly stop attacking, and provoking melee mobs (except piglins) take a long time to go hostile, melee piglins on the other hand look at their target when attacking at close range, and also have no random pauses and go instantly hostile if provoked.
