It doesn't matter if an ArmorStand is a Marker (Marker:1b
) or even visible (Invisible:1b
), the WitherBoss still attacks them.
Command
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {CustomNameVisible:1,Marker:1,Invisible:1,Riding:{id:WitherBoss}}

MC-1673 is about Wither and Creeper being able to destroy static entities when mobGriefing is false, however this is about Withers trying to destroy ArmorStands

Summary of MC-1673:
Creepers/Withers blow up Paintings / Item frames / Leads / Armor stands even when Mob-Griefing is turned off.
Still a dupe.

This ticket is about Withers deliberately aiming at and destroying Armor stands. MC-1673 is about destroying them as coleteral damage.

confirmed for 1.8.7

Confirmed for 15w45a & 1.8.8.

Affects 15w47a

This happens because armor stands extend EntityLivingBase, and the Wither targets all instances of EntityLivingBase that aren't undead. Could be fixed by either checking explicitly for armor stands, or by making armor stands undead 😉

Confirmed for 1.10-pre1
Dupe of MC-1673
