[MCPE-226131] Shulker targeting players beyond range where it will actually shoot

Small and I’m not actually sure if this is a bug (think it is) but, the shulker can detect players and will open as if for an attack at 16 blocks away but will only shoot if at 15 blocks or closer.

This is how the shulker behaviors are defined in shulker.json. Target at 16 blocks radius, shoot at 15 blocks radius.

      "minecraft:behavior.ranged_attack": {
        "attack_interval_min": 1,
        "attack_interval_max": 3,
        "attack_radius": 15
      },

  "minecraft:behavior.nearest_attackable_target": {
    "priority": 3,
    "entity_types": {
      "filters": {
        "test": "is_family", "subject": "other", "value": "player"
      },
      "max_dist": 16
    },
    "must_see": true
  },
