Bosses are unaffected by the potions / "new arrows"

If you shoot a spectral arrow and hit the ender dragon, you don't get the spectral effect that you normally get when you hit any other mob.

Confirmed for:

  • 15w31b also for WitherBoss, probably intended because they both can't have potion effects

Confimed for 15w38b
EnderDragon and Wither aren't affected.

I uploaded a couple screenshots. The effect command does work on the Ender Dragon. Not the Wither. Spectral Arrows do not affect either.

The Wither and the Ender Dragon will now ignore all effects.

Why ?...
It's not cool for map makers ...
It will be nice to be able to give them all the effects using commands.
And how to explain that the wither takes damage due to splash potions but not from commands...
