            <title>[MC-590] Mobs not realizing they killed their attacker and trying to attack empty space</title>
                <link>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-590</link>
                <project id="10400" key="MC">Minecraft: Java Edition</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Iron golems will occasionally attack creepers, causing them to explode. The golem will then continue to try and attack the space where the creeper was. Unloading the chunk will fix their behavior. The golem is probably not &apos;receiving credit&apos; for the kill when the creeper explodes, so they continue to attack.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This behavior applies to all mobs with the &quot;new&quot; AI that are capable of attacking (skeletons, zombies, wolves, witches). Basically in an infight if one mob dies the &quot;killer&quot; will still try to attack the empty spot where the mob died.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The iron golem attacked an endermen, then endermen teleported to the top of a pillar and the iron golem stayed at a certain distance from the pillar attacking the air forever.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

It started with 1.5, shock horror, golems stuck in the attack cycle will not do anything else even when attacked. Thus dying at the hands of skeletons. &lt;/p&gt;</comment>

This didn&apos;t happen to me before in any other updates, but I see it&apos;s not uncommon.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

(I didn&apos;t think to take a picture of it, though. Sorry....) I&apos;ve also seen this bug occur on Survival mode (namely, on that same server) AND without mob griefing disabled.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="32227" author="sonowwat" created="Thu, 3 Jan 2013 19:13:16 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;If you build a snow golem and make it throw a snowball at a iron golem, after the iron golem has killed the snow golem it will stand where the golem died, flailing its arms.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

Updated summary and description to reflect that.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="28180" author="snowgolemkirby" created="Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:43:35 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Recently, I accidentally hit an Iron Golem in the head, while it was standing idly right next to a Creeper; but at the exact moment I did that, the Iron Golem attacked the Creeper. (Unfortunately, I couldn&apos;t get a screenshot in time....)&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

(This was probably unintentional....)&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="16984" author="meta" created="Fri, 2 Nov 2012 06:06:45 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Same here. Iron Golem swings arms but there is nothing to hit&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="13678" author="masa" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:28:38 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I have also seen the iron golems kill a zombie and then get stuck swinging the air over the place where the zombie died until I relogged (=reloaded the chunk). So it seems to be a bug where the iron golem somehow does not &apos;get notified&apos; that the mob actually died already.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="13660" author="chalmes" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:07:20 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Definitely inconsistent behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="13653" author="chalmes" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:03:38 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Ok, update.  Spawned a magma cube next to iron golem, which it hit as expected, it then turned around and walloped one of the creepers it had previously ignored.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="13651" author="chalmes" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:01:33 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Strange.  1.4.2 change log indicates:&lt;br/&gt;
     Iron Golems&lt;br/&gt;
     Now attack creepers, Slimes and Magma Cubes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Attached couple of screenshots where I couldnt get them attacking creepers at all, yet they go to town on spiders and slimes.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
