No Damage Taken While Riding Wither or Ender Dragon in Survival Mode
Steps to Reproduce:
Switch on cheats in a world.
Summon a Wither or Ender Dragon.
Mount the mob using a /ride command, or data pack anything etc.
Switch to Survival mode while still mounted.
Let the mob attack or fly through hazardous terrain.
Expected Result:
The player should take damage normally in Survival mode when targeted or affected by hostile mobs or hazards.
Actual Result:
While riding the Wither or Ender Dragon in Survival mode:
The mob detects and targets the player.
Attack animations and effects play normally.
However, the player takes absolutely no damage β health remains completely full.
Upon dismounting, the player immediately dies, even without taking apparent hits.
Key Notes:
This is not a damage delay β no damage is applied at all during the ride.
The bug is 100% reproducible.
Could be exploited in a cheated environment even in Survival or Hardcore to avoid death entirely by staying mounted.
