| Description |

I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but it's really annoying. When a mob is set to be persistent using NBT tags. It will stand absolutely still. It won't wander around like it normally would, instead, it just stands there and will look around aimlessly. This only happens with mobs such as blazes, skeletons, zombies, and even squids. These mobs will still move though: silverfish, slimes/ magma cubes, and bats. |

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a "don't move" tag instead of assuming that's intended behavior on part of the map maker? |

So... what are the chances this is working as designed? To be honest, I find this really useful as is. It allows you to place custom mobs and not worry about them despawning or wandering off until it spots a player. Very useful for custom and adventure maps. |

Aha! To clarify for anyone else like me that go confused by this issue: The mob will start moving once it targets a player. So this bug really only has a big effect on creative mode. |

Still not fixed. Just give a mob something to hold, it'll never move except for turning randomly. |

This might be fixed in the most recent snapshot. Can anybody confirm? |

Confirmed. Entities that have that flag don't ever get their "movement" flag reset. |

Well that sounds like a bug to me |

No matter how close I am to them, they just sit there. If I hit them with a snow ball they will do that glitchy slow walk for 4 seconds and then freeze again. |

Its an intended feature that those mobs freeze if there is no player within 32 blocks around them, have you tried get closer to them? |
