            <title>[MC-729] Zombies only fight back against players</title>
                <link>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-729</link>
                <project id="10400" key="MC">Minecraft: Java Edition</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Short Description&lt;/b&gt;: Zombies dont fight back when attacked by other entities than the Player&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Longer Description&lt;/b&gt;: Im a modder and I first noticed this bug when I made a guard npc that attacks nearby creatures. Whenever it attacked a zombie it would never get hurt. I then went on testing this, but it also doesnt seem to attack a tamed wolf. Zombies not attacking my guard npc might not be considered a bug, though skeletons attack back just fine. The zombie not attacking the wolf is clearly a bug.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Maybe it&apos;s a feature, that zombies just are so interested of killing players that they won&apos;t fight other hostile mobs...&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

If it is in it&apos;s &quot;stunned&quot; state, it will be passive until I hit it or kill the Skeleton, in which case it&apos;d return to me. It all seems random, I can&apos;t find a pattern. &lt;/p&gt;

They stop chasing you nor go after the skeleton continuously shooting them. I can even hug the little guy and push him off a cliff!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But I can also confirm that it will usually aggro on skeletons.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="65738" author="kumasasa" created="Fri, 10 May 2013 11:22:20 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Also if a single skeleton and single zombie are caged in, the skeleton shoots the zombie but the zombie doesn&apos;t react on him.&lt;br/&gt;
Both are still targeted at me and are looking at me.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="65737" author="kumasasa" created="Fri, 10 May 2013 11:17:06 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Cannot confirm fix:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Fenced in a lot of Skeletons and Zombies&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;changed gamemode to survival&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Skeletons started shooting at me but hit also Zombies&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;changed gamemode back to creative&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Skeletons shooting each other and Zombies but Zombies did not attack Skeletons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

                            <comment id="65736" author="snofox" created="Fri, 10 May 2013 11:16:34 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve been testing this for about 15 minutes now, and can&apos;t quite find a pattern but ...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tested this on 13w18c. Zombies seem to happily attack a tamed wolf. However!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Zombies seem to freeze in place and will not willingly move or aggro after they are shot by a skeleton.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Test case:&lt;br/&gt;
1. Spawn a skeleton in front of you&lt;br/&gt;
2. Spawn a zombie between you and the skeleton&lt;br/&gt;
3. Draw the zombie towards you so the skeleton can shoot it&lt;br/&gt;
4. The skeleton should shoot the zombie, causing the zombie to hold still.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m only noticing this behavior on occasion, and will continue trying to find a pattern.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="23544" author="mistersanderson" created="Tue, 20 Nov 2012 03:09:35 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;The zombie not attacking the wolf is not a bug: zombies want to eat only human brains. Unless they are zombie wolfs...&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="14201" author="darkfigure" created="Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:49:56 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I believe this started happening in 1.2.5 when Jon changed the AI mob behavior. (Which he did a wonderful job at in my opinion, but it did have some side effects like this one.) I honestly do not know if this is a bug or not though, it could be intentional, but it does suck, Zombies used to fight back against mobs if they got attacked but not anymore. &lt;/p&gt;</comment>
