[MC-64939] Enderman stop being hostile after Knockback. No Teleport, No endermites.

Version 14w31a
Playing on Hard difficulty.
I'm using a Diamond sword: Sharpness 4, Knockback 2, Unbreaking 3, Looting 3.

Enderman behavior has changed (at least in The End). They often stop being hostile after being struck with Knockback. They never teleport away but just keep walking straight at you making them easy to kill, and never spawn endermites.

Does this still occur in the current version 1.8.1? (The endermites part is fixed/intended anyway since they no longer spawn from Endermen.)

I think this all part of the new glitchy enderman AI. Generally, endermen will blindly walk in a straight line towards what they first teleported from.

And occasionally randomly become neutral

Can confirm that knockback makes an enderman neutral in 1.8 release

bob 2014-12-16T12:23:34Z

Confirmed in 1.8.1

Enderman ai still messed up (no teleport when hit) in 1.8.7.

Confirmed for 1.8.8.

Unless you stare at the Enderman during the fight, he only attacks you once after you hit him with a knockback sword and becomes passive after that

Please reopen

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.10.2, or 16w42a) of Minecraft? If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time. If you are the owner/reporter of this ticket, you can modify the affected version(s) yourself.

Doesn't appear to happen any longer in 1.12-pre3 (probably earlier), although Enderman behavior is still messed up.
