MC-49129Spiders & Wolves deal no damage as they're leaping
The bug
When a spider/wolf leaps at you, it deals no damage as it's in the air, but when it lands it deals damage. I've also noticed as they're leaping their heads point completely straight, as opposed to them still looking at you, similar to how creepers stare straight as they explode. Doesn't affect mobs under version 14w06a when it got the new AI.
This actively affects both mobs ability to land hits in combat.
Note: This bug does not differ with the mob attack changes with 23w33a
How to reproduce
- Spawn spider/wolf
- Walk up to it, aggro it, and wait until it pounces
- Notice its head point straight forward while it pounces and it deals no damage while it's in midair
In the pictures, the mobs are touching me as they're leaping, but deal no damage until they hit the ground. Of course I took some damage waiting for them to leap, but as they jumped no damage was dealt.
--------------------------------------
"Spiders and Wolves use the class LeapAtTargetGoal which handles the leaping at their target. This class calls Goal::setFlags in its constructor with the values of Goal.Flag.MOVE and Goal.Flag.LOOK. These flags prevent other AI goals with the same flags from executing. The MeleeAttackGoal handles the melee attack and has the same goal flags set. To fix this, remove the call to Goal::setFlags from the LeapAtTargetGoal to allow it to run at the same time as MeleeAttackGoal."

Spiders/Wolves deal no damage as they're leaping
When a spider/wolf leaps at you, it deals no damage as it's in the air, but when it lands it deals damage. I've also noticed as they're leaping their heads point completely straight, as opposed to them still looking at you, similer to how creepers stare straight as they explode. Doesn't affect spiders under version 14w06a when it got the new AI, but wolves have always done it.

1.) Spawn spider/wolf

For some reason this bug does not show up in my "reported" category and does not show up in search results unless I use the specific number which I thankfully had written down elsewhere. Is there a reason this is happening?

**Potential Fix from Chumbanotz:Spiders and Wolves use the class LeapAtTargetGoal which handles the leaping at their target. This class calls Goal::setFlags in its constructor with the values of Goal.Flag.MOVE and Goal.Flag.LOOK. These flags prevent other AI goals with the same flags from executing. The MeleeAttackGoal handles the melee attack and has the same goal flags set. To fix this, remove the call to Goal::setFlags from the LeapAtTargetGoal to allow it to run at the same time as MeleeAttackGoal.

- Spawn spider/wolf
- Walk up to it, aggro it, and wait until it pounces
- Notice its head point straight forward while it pounces and it deals no damage while it's in midair
In the pictures, the mobs are touching me as they're leaping, but deal no damage until they hit the ground. Of course I took some damage waiting for them to leap, but as they jumped no damage was dealt.
--------------------------------------
Potential Fix from Chumbanotz:"Spiders and Wolves use the class LeapAtTargetGoal which handles the leaping at their target. This class calls Goal::setFlags in its constructor with the values of Goal.Flag.MOVE and Goal.Flag.LOOK. These flags prevent other AI goals with the same flags from executing. The MeleeAttackGoal handles the melee attack and has the same goal flags set. To fix this, remove the call to Goal::setFlags from the LeapAtTargetGoal to allow it to run at the same time as MeleeAttackGoal."
The bug
When a spider/wolf leaps at you, it deals no damage as it's in the air, but when it lands it deals damage. I've also noticed as they're leaping their heads point completely straight, as opposed to them still looking at you, similar to how creepers stare straight as they explode. Doesn't affect
spiders under version 14w06a when it got the new AI, but wolves have always done it.This actively affects both mobs ability to land hits in combat.
Note: This bug does not differ with the mob attack changes with 23w33a
How to reproduce

Joshua, thanks for the videos, they really help. But the spider one in daytime is inaccurate, as spiders normally stop attacking after a few seconds during daytime. Try it again at nighttime, but be wary that spiders' AI has changed in 1.8, making it so when it de-aggros, it will move forward blindly for a second or two then stop.
I also noticed a spider bug in 1.8 that applies to the wolf too. It is my report here: MC-49129. Somebody please check it out, nobody has viewed it at all and I reported it months ago.
I tested again just now in 20w19a to see, and yes, Piglins, Hoglins and Zoglins are no longer affected. In fact, neither are Pandas, and Wolves. They've somehow.. stopped doing this. Don't know what could possibly cause that, but now the list is:
-Vindicators
-Zombified Piglins
-Zombies/Zombie Villagers/Husks/Drowned
-Endermen
-Wither Skeletons
-Silverfish
-Endermites
-Dolphins
I still can't confirm for spiders or cave spiders doing this. Perhaps MC-49129 is being mistaken for this bug.

Relates to MC-49129.
When spiders and wolves attack they often leap backwards and sideways at their target (which can still deal damage)
It's probably related to MC-49129.
(Bug can be seen in the clip, towards the end)

According to the wiki:
"Wolves attack their targets by leaping at them in exactly the same manner as spiders, but cause no damage while in midair."
However, after testing what you said, I agree that what you said has happened to me too.
so basically I can confirm this.
Confirmed in 1.16.2
I don't think the bug is as straight forward as the description says though, maybe it's been partially fixed
But in third person you can see that the damaging is not instant when they are in mid air, and they only look straight forward when jumping
edit: I think I only tested this with wolves btw
Can confirm in 20w48a.
Can confirm in 20w51a.
Can confirm in 21w05b.
Can confirm in 21w06a.
Spiders and Wolves use the class LeapAtTargetGoal which handles the leaping at their target. This class calls Goal::setFlags in its constructor with the values of Goal.Flag.MOVE and Goal.Flag.LOOK. These flags prevent other AI goals with the same flags from executing. The MeleeAttackGoal handles the melee attack and has the same goal flags set. To fix this, remove the call to Goal::setFlags from the LeapAtTargetGoal to allow it to run at the same time as MeleeAttackGoal.
Can confirm in 1.19.2.
Affects 1.20
You can collide them while they are mid air and take no damage, why wouldn't that be a bug. It often seems like when you take damage its delayed and doesnt match with their leap animation properly.
