MC-279443

Using the wind burst enchantment, mobs can change the activation states of redstone components and extinguish lit candles, even when mobGriefing is false

Same as MC-270849 and MC-270974 but for wind burst. Mobs can use the wind burst enchantment to modify trapdoors, doors, fence gates, candles, and similar objects, even when mobGriefing is disabled.

How to reproduce

  1. Create a superflat world using this preset:

    minecraft:bedrock,2*minecraft:dirt,minecraft:cherry_trapdoor;minecraft:plains

    (You can replace the trapdoors with other blocks, such as levers and more.)

  2. /gamerule mobGriefing false
  3. Use this command to spawn some foxes:

    /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{id:"minecraft:mace",count:1,components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{levels:{"minecraft:wind_burst":3}}}},{}]}
  4. Spawn some chickens

Expected result

With mobGriefing set to false, the foxes cannot use the wind burst enchantment to interact with trapdoors or other blocks like lit candles, levers, and buttons.

Observed result

The fox altered the trapdoors (or other blocks like candles, levers, or buttons, if used) even though mobGriefing was set to false.
