Endermen become passive when teleporting randomly during day while being aggressive

The bug

When an enderman is aggressive and starts teleporting randomly at day it becomes passive and still teleports randomly during night.

How to reproduce

  1. Set the time to night

  2. Build a two block high tower and stand on it

  3. Spawn an enderman next to you

  4. Switch to survival mode and look at the enderman

  5. Set the time to day

  6. Wait until the enderman stops being aggressive
    → ❌ When you look at the enderman it will not become aggressive anymore

Code analysis

Based on 1.12 decompiled using MCP 9.40 PRE 1

It looks like the problem is that the field net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAINearestAttackableTarget.targetEntity is not reset when net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving.attackTarget is null. This is the case if it is day and an enderman tried to attack a player for 30 seconds. However, changing this might have unexpected side effects.

Dupe of either MC-7980 or MC-19138

MC-19138 is about visuals only, MC-7980 is a collection of minor issues of which most have been fixed. We'll leave this one open.

Confirmed for 1.9

Still in 1.9.1-pre1

Still in 16w15b

Also it seems like after becoming passive it has the same behavior as it had in MC-96946, but in Survival mode

Confirmed for 19w35a

Still in 19w39a

Still in 1.15.1

I would also add that they seem to be permanently passive towards the player, no matter how many times you hit them
