all types of illagers run away from creakings (like creepers run away from cats). This behaviour isnt mentioned in the changelog and wasnt mentioned in minecraft live so im not sure if it is intended or not.

Johnny vindicators and creakings are interesting. A Johnny vindicator will go to attack a creaking and then turn back when it gets within a few blocks. Sometimes the Johnny vindicator will make a few futile attacks before turning away. It's possible that these Vindicators can get stuck in an endless loop of approach, attack and flee.
