The Bug

Spiders and cave spiders do not retaliate against damage from player-thrown wind charges (these mobs are neutral if the light level is >11), unlike other ranged projectiles, such as arrows, tridents and even snowballs (which deal no damage).

This allows the player to kill spiders during the daytime without them attacking.

Steps to Reproduce

See the video: MC-274345.mp4

1. Summon a spider or cave spider in full daylight.
2. Shoot the mob with a wind charge in Survival mode.

Observed Results

The spider does not retaliate (attack or start walking towards the player to attack them).

Expected Results

The spider attacks the player even if hit by a player-thrown wind charge.
