The Bug
Renaming a vindicator that has been named 'Johnny' does not reset its behavior of attacking most mobs. It would be expected that vindicators that were renamed from 'Johnny' to another name would stop their behavior due to that name.
This can be fixed by changing the Johnny
tag from 1b
to 0b
whenever its name changes.
How to Reproduce
Rename two nametags - one to beΒ Johnny and the other one to be any name other thanΒ Johnny.
Make a setup as shown in the image below; two holes with a block on top to fit two different two-block tall mobs.
Spawn a vindicator in one of the holes and name itΒ Johnny using the nametag. Look at the vindicator and press
F3 + I
. Paste it in a Notepad and confirm that theJohnny
tag is set to1b
.Spawn another mob like a creeper in the other hole, and note how the vindicator tries to attack it.
Now rename the vindicator to the other name, and note how it still tries to attack the mob. Press
F3 + I
again and paste it into a Notepad. Note how theJohnny
tag is still1b
.
