[MC-97606] Zombie path finding AI is slow and "broken"

THERE IS A WORLD DOWNLOAD TO DEMONSTRATE THIS!

I have a villager and a zombie, when I teleport the villager once, the zombie goes for it, when I teleport the villager back half-way through the zombie's travelled path to the villager, the zombie will go to the villager's old location first, then only go to where the villager's updated location is.

World Downloads:
[1.13+] https://goo.gl/HNfPPK
[1.9 pre4] https://goo.gl/iiCfsR

Note: I have left notes under control panel so you know what to do. I thought this would've been easier for you guys, rather than recreating the whole system 🙂

EDIT 1.12-pre7:
Now, when you teleport the villager that the zombie is tracking to one place, and then teleport the villager back, mid-zombie's path, the zombie will TELEPORT to that villagers old position, then carry on his way to the second position. It is even more broken than before.

Isn't this MC-89938?

@unknown
I don't think it is:

when I teleport the villager back half-way through the zombie's travelled path to the villager, the zombie will go to the villager's old location first, then only go to where the villager's updated location is.

But the screenshot "2016-02-19_22.11.30.png" does make it look like it, but that's not what the reporter means to say.

i created a similar report for zombie AI. Minecraft 1.9 literally /kill ed the Mob AI. In 1.10 it wasn't fixed as well.Zombies are now really dumb and unable to use stairs to get you 😛

Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.

This is an automated comment on any open or reopened issue with out-of-date affected versions.

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.11) 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.

Issue has been updated, sorry for the inconvenience. I have set the issue to send me emails now.

Tom Wilhelm 2017-06-05T13:41:39Z

Space. This wont get fixed by Mojang. You need to create a suggestion to fix it xD. Besides on my report (here: MC-102604) it took Mojang 6 months because the assigned person (ProfMobius) did never reply. I would like Mojang to at least care about those very important issues but I already lost hope. I don't see why I should create a suggestion for something thats more of a bug fix. But as Mojang stated: Its intended to be so. The AI would be fine.

Space 2017-06-05T13:47:00Z

I'll try hold my hope. I like to think Mojang cares. Let's see where this takes me! =)

Tom Wilhelm 2017-06-06T19:38:40Z

With ProfMobius I havn't had much attention.I doubt this thread will be dealt with.May get stamped with
"Intended to be so,make a suggestion"

"I'll try hold my hope. I like to think Mojang cares. Let's see where this takes me! =)"
It will take you to the suggestion reddit because they dont realize what real issues are or dont feel like they want to fix it.Anyways no staff will reply until some activity in this report happens.
AND IF A STAFF IS READING THIS:
Do not say these Mob AI issues need a suggestion, it is CLEARLY an issue that can get abused. I am extremely unhappy with the service given to those kind of threads .These Threads are a big issue that needs to be dealt with-and with this I dont mean Ignoring or "Creating a suggestion". STOP being LAZY AND FIX IT.

Is this still an issue in 1.13?

Tom Wilhelm 2018-07-23T15:06:34Z

yes, the hostile mob AI is still terrible and unfixed.

This is dedicated for those that are capable of fixing it:

I would also like to mention that the service provided here is a disappointment. Im not sure how you can even defend this MASSIVE delay or how to be proud of yourself. Ignorance really is your only way. And just as i suspected in earlier comments this thread has not received any attention

qwerty23495 2018-07-23T15:19:28Z

There is a lack of information to help us to recreate the issue. Is there a specific set of steps/setups that will let us see the issue in the general case?

MSpaceDev 2018-07-24T14:48:29Z

Matthew, I'll update the demonstration world and confirm whether it is a problem nowadays or not. 🙂

Seems Tom Wilhelm is being just a tidbit rash. No need for that type of negativity here, really.

(This is my report btw, I changed accounts last year. Is there any way I can get ownership over this report with my new account?)

kumasasa 2018-07-25T07:49:37Z

@unknown: Done.

MSpaceDev 2018-07-25T14:47:20Z

Thank you. I can confirm this is still a bug in 1.13. I have updated the world, and moved everything in functions. I will attach the world download in the description now

Tom Wilhelm 2018-12-11T15:01:40Z

we can soon celebrate 3 years having this issue unresolved
