The way to prevent that is to make them have to pick up anything in order to attack the player, that way there is no inappropriate stances.


There is no release candidate 3
Sorry, i mean't 2.
Can confirm in 21w03a.
Can confirm in 1.17.
Can confirm in 1.17.1. I'm willing to take ownership of this ticket since the reporter's account has been deactivated.
Can confirm in 22w05a! And I hope they keep it in the game! it would be weird them using vindicator animation with blocks/items or nothing in their hands, but with swords/pickaxe/shovel/hoe/axe is fine.
If this bug got fixed in a future version for piglins likely they start using zombified piglin position of hand when angry. As MC-176836 fixing this issue, or maybe not! maybe i'm wrong but ok.
In 22w06a
Confirmed to 1.18.2 pre-release 1 also.
Pretty sure it's intended. It might cause a similar issue to MC-176836.
