Naturally spawned iron golems constantly attack player.

A naturally spawned Iron Golem is consistently attacking my player. It can appear to be neutral 1 second and then attack another. Even after my death or its death the aggression continues. I have not knowingly killed or attacked any villagers.

In the past, if I have inadvertently hurt or killed a villager, the golem will attack, kill me and then become neutral towards my player. This appears to be no longer the case (at least in my situation).

Update: I travelled 1000 blocks away in order to unload the chunks the village is in. The iron golem now remains neutral - at least until whatever triggered the aggression happens again.

Update #2: After giving this some thought I recalled I had once used a fishing rod to move a villager. While that did not hurt the villager, I believe it caused my reputation to become extremely low. Had I initiated a number of trades I could have increased my reputation. I had been under the impression that if a golem killed you, your reputation would reset to neutral.

Unless someone else can provide more information I think this ticket can be resolved.

Have you been killing vilagers near by... the villiage gives you a score and if your below it, then any naturally spawning iron golem will attack you. If you killing vilagers do it passivley (suffocation, lava, cactus)

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 14w11b / Launcher version 1.3.11 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

I'm having the same problem in the 1.8 pre-release. I seem to have narrowed it down, though. The golem becomes aggressive when you talk to or trade with a villager.

Here's a possible solution: Okay, so I noticed that my server admin would keep switching from creative mode to survival and he would set the servers difficulty from 1 - 3 constantly.
What I decided to do was get the server admin to switch to peaceful, watch the Golems flail at me, kill them. Then I traded with the villagers, went far away to my spawn block, waited 5 minutes, died. Disconnected. Then the server admin reset the difficulty to hard. Logged back on, went back, and they would not attack me.
To test, I attacked a villager by accident, the golem killed me, went back, and they are now no longer hostile despite the fact that I traded with people, so maybe it wasn't a glitch after all. For those of you who had this issue, try what I did to see if that worked lol.

Try switching to peaceful, kill all the Golems, wait a while, and do my steps. Maybe that will fix it.
