Skeletons, illusioners and piglins with crossbows have broken agility reaction when hit or walking on certain blocks when provoked
The bug
Some mobs strafe on certain blocks they move extremely fast (1.5 times as fast as hostile endermen), and move straight toward you instead of strafing. Just hit a skeleton in third person in Survival to reproduce, or let it walk on certain blocks like rails, they will go berserk!
Also noticed that if you run down a hill with a horse, the skeleton will "hover" or "slide" towards you.

I have a screenshot of a skeleton ramming into me and steps to reproduce in MC-104900.
this is linked to MC-104900 if the accelerating skeleton is also a bug.
rabbits jump twice as high on farmland ,fences, stone walls, and grass paths, but not many other partial blocks, to reproduce, place rabbits on grass paths, and watch closely.
this does not happen with slabs unlike MC-104900 that only occurs with skeletons.

Although MC-104900 was fixed, skeletons, illusioners, and piglins with crossbows don't strafe when on certain blocks. Instead, they will move straight towards the player, regardless of how close the player is.

Since the movement part of MC-157645 was fixed, this leaves the pathfinding issues. The pathfinding issue in MC-157645 seems to be the same as in this ticket, but does not directly describe that certain mobs move straight towards you instead of strafing. If MC-157645 is not considered fixed, and instead the same as this ticket, I think that MC-157645 should be resolved to MC-174500, because MC-174500 is based on MC-104900, which adressed the incorrect pathfinding, contained more (specific) information, and was created first.
Relates to MC-104900 - can you verify if this is still an issue in the latest snapshot?
Thank you for your report!
We're tracking this issue in MC-104900, so this ticket is being resolved and linked as a duplicate.
That ticket has already been resolved as Fixed. The fix will arrive in the next version or is already included in the latest development version of the game, you can check the Fix Version/s field in that ticket to learn more.
If you haven't already, you might like to make use of the search feature in the future to see if the issue has already been reported.

MC-100588Could you make a list of affected blocks?
Confirmed for farmland.
i can confirm this with grass paths, chests, slabs, magma blocks, enchanting tables, end portal frames, water, lava, and air causing agility bugs when falling or hurt which means that hitting a skeleton also causes glitches. I will edit my report on this bug. I created a new ticket that is related to this one, MC-105588
I have also confirmed this with illusioners.
Confirmed for Daylight Sensors
confirmed for soul sand
This is probably because of the AI of entities on non-solid blocks. They likely have a pathfinding glitch and want to get to the nearest solid block, but being on a non-integer Y level confuses the pathfinding. This happens with passive mobs as well, and they end up spinning is circles on top of fence blocks. This sort of bug has been in the game for a long time.
Here is a video that clearly shows the skeleton running straight at the player when on soul sand and iron trapdoors.
Edit: Confirmed in 17w43a.
I think Jeb should reduce the speed of skeletons, and reduce the difficulty of the game
confirmed for slabs
This is also confirmed for 18w19a because the skeletons (that now sink) will still swim unusually fast, which also makes this bug more noticeable.
Confirmed for 1.14.2 Pre-Release 2
Confirmed for 1.14.2
Confirmed for 1.14.4
Also it happens on the block "farmland" aswell
Skeletons swim at the same speed as the player when in water so that's intended.
@Greg Milson This was never intended. Skeletons should strafe when in water which is not happening.
Still happens in 1.15.1 ... died on skyblock (built in bottom slabs) due to a skeleton going crazy. This seems to happen on any non full block, e.g. when the skeleton is not at perfectly rounded Y coordinate
Confirmed in 1.15.1, slime blocks are also affected. Video
Confirmed 1.15.2
Confirmed for soul sand. This glitch could be a serious problem in the soul sand valley, as skeletons frequently spawn there.
Confirmed for piglins with crossbows.
Still happens in 20w09a.
This was fixed in 20w11a. The skeletons no longer have the speed issue, however, they still don't strafe on certain blocks. I made a report on the behavior without the super speed: MC-174500
