[MC-216285] Iron golems constantly stay angry towards players with a village popularity below -15

1. Summon a bunch of villagers near a village

2. Kill them as much as you can

3. Go to survival mode and give yourself something to protect from iron golems

4. Summon an iron golem on you (You will notice when it immediately attacks you)

5. Go to any places and you will see the iron golem will constantly follow you even when you are underground. (Make sure you don't log out or go to creative / spectator mode)

One more thing, they will stop following you when they are out of your render distance

Nvm, it just wasn't working before. Can confirm in 1.17.

Moreover, this extends to the point where they will follow you far, far from the village and also they prefer tracking you who hasn't attacked them over attacking a mob such as a pillager who has.

I guess this is a feature......

Isn’t this working as intended? https://minecraft.wiki/w/Iron_Golem states “Hostile (when the player has -15 village popularity or below, and/or -100 villager reputation or below)”
