Goats can move armor stands even with mobGriefing turned off

Goats can ram into armor stands moving them around the world.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Disable mob griefing

    /gamerule mobGriefing false
  2. Place down an armor stand in an enclosed area

  3. Summon one or more goats in that area

  4. Wait for a goat to ram the armor stand, or increase tick rate

    /tick sprint 1d

Reproduction Results:

The goat will ram the armor stand knocking it away from it's placed position, despite mobGriefing being disabled.

Notes:

  1. While armor stands are entities, they very often used for deccoration in building. Having goats be able to move armor stands can go against a players desire to not have mobs grief their builds.

Goats can move almost every entity when ramming them such as zombies, creepers, cows, etc... I don't see the issue here as the goats are not "griefing" anything but I can confirm. As far as I am aware, the mobGriefing gamerule is supposed to prevent non-player interaction with the world such as preventing endermen from picking up blocks and from creepers destroying the environment, etc...

My point is that armor stands are mostly used as a block to showcase armor. Just like the issue of creepers breaking them with mobGriefing turned off being valid, I would consider goats moving a block-like entity "griefing", like a goat entering your house and throwing your armor stand with fav armor off a cliff.

Can confirm in 1.17.1.

Are anyone aware of any other mobs that may have the ability to move armor stands?
