When the player changes their game mode to Creative or Spectator while standing next to a creaking, it will activate and try to attack the player even when they're in Creative or Spectator mode. After a second the mob will deactivate. This only occurs when the player is facing the creaking.

How to reproduce:

1. In a world with the Winter Drop experiment enabled, summon a creaking with a spawn egg or a command:

   /summon minecraft:creaking

   Note: This issue does not occur with a creaking linked to a creaking heart.

2. Stand next to it while in Creative, Survival, or Adventure mode.
3. Look towards the creaking.
4. Switch to Creative or Spectator mode (if changing from Creative, this can only be reproduced by switching to Spectator).
   → Most of the time, the creaking tries to attack the player once, and then deactivates.

Expected result:

The creaking would immediately deactivate as soon as the player enters Creative or Spectator mode.

Observed result:

The creaking tries to attack the player once and then deactivates after the player enters Creative or Spectator mode.
