[MC-9536] Snow Golem angers Iron Golems on accident

Occasionally, Snow Golems targeting a hostile mob (e.g. Zombie or Spider) while an Iron Golem is near the mob will accidentally hit the Iron Golem, causing the Iron Golem to target the Snow Golem until the Snow Golem dies. Usually, however, the Snow Golem is out of reach, rendering the Iron Golem completely useless.

Skelis are able to anger mobs and Witches are able to anger mobs.

Shouldn't it be fixed, though? Iron Golems are supposed to target hostile mobs, but being hit by a Snow Golem causes it to hunt the Snow Golem for eternity (unless the Snow Golem is within reach), making the Iron Golem a statue.

They are both utility mobs that serve the player, it doesn't make since that one should be fighting the other, especially since it renders the Iron Golem useless until it kills the Snow Golem.

Alright reopened.

This isn't works as intended, if snow golems won't attack iron golems, then iron golems shouldn't attack snow golems.

It IS WAI, because the iron golem gets aggro when the snow golem accidently hits the golem. Iron golems do not attack snow golems on their own.
