Unfortunately, none of the uploading websites can upload my video properly for some reason, but I pretty much got the same results as you so I think I don't need to upload the video anymore. I've tried Youtube, Vimeo and several others but none of them will work. I think the video might be too long or too big, or it could just be a bug with the program I used to record it.
13% now (Sigh)
Oops, the video didn't work. It's over the max download size.
I am currently uploading the video to Youtube so I can post a link to it, but it will take a while since it is a VLC Media File. I will post again when it finishes. 3% so far...
I have tested it without the mod by making a Superflat world with fences, a tree and a water source. I recorded a video where I tested the Drowned and also a Zombie and Husk by spawning them under the tree and seeing their reaction. Ignore the bit at the end, I was trying to remember how to open the NVIDIA In-game Overlay and stop the recording. Notice how the zombie and husk ignore the sun and chase me but the Drowned stays under the tree and waits.
[media]I am not sure if this video link works or not. If it doesn't, tell me and I will try to fix it.
I will test it when I have time, but I am quite busy at the moment. I will test this as soon as I am free.
Yeah, I guess so. So, I guess you can resolve this bug unless you can find an error in the code.
Maybe. But normal zombies aren't very smart and attack even if there are trees nearby and they will burn to death if they don't go to them. So, are Drowned supposed to be smarter? And if I was under the cover of the tree as well, surely it should attack me because there is no risk of burning.
Really? I didn't know that, thanks.
I don't want to create a reddit account though.
I think we have enough information now though. In my test, the Drowned attacked me when I was right in front of it or under the tree's shade, but it didn't walk to the water I created or attack me when I was in the sunlight. Meanwhile, the husk, and even the zombie, which burns in sunlight, walked out of the tree's shade and attacked me even though it was day. So I agree, it is either the Drowned's AI or Drowneds turning neutral at day on purpose.
