[MC-266469] When attacked, breezes sometimes stop pathfinding, jumping, or firing wind charges

The breeze usually runs around, jumps, and fires projectiles when fighting the player. However, these actions are often interrupted when the breeze is attacked, making the fight much easier. Sometimes, this even causes the breeze to continuously move in one direction without changing course. Expected is for breezes to pathfind, jump around, and continue launching projectiles at the same rate as normal when attacked.

Can confirm. You can just keep spam left clicking the Breeze and it never jumps or attacks back.

Can confirm. When you hit while it's charging up for a shot, it will stop

How to reproduce

Build a room/hollow box (so the mob doesn't escape).
Summon a breeze inside.

Place a repeating command block "always active" with this command:

damage @e[type=minecraft:breeze,limit=1] 0 minecraft:player_attack by @p

Change game mode to survival, avoid death.
Notice the breeze behavior.

Something i noticed is that this doesn't happen all the time, but most cases it does. It's also possible to interrupt the breeze wind charge without even attacking it, by running towards it and staying very closely at the mob when it's charging.
