Zombified Piglins drop XP and rare drops if killed by anything while in angered state
The bug
If a piglin is in a hostile state due to another piglin being attacked by the player or any other mob, it will drop XP and rare drops upon death by any source (including mob damage, suffocation and /kill).
To reproduce
- Construct some iron golems. Spawn multiple zombified piglins. Wait for the golems to kill the piglins. Experience orbs will be dropped, and maybe also rare drops if you're lucky.
- Trap a skeleton where he can shoot at you but not escape. Spawn multiple zombified piglins in the line of fire. Experience orbs will be dropped, and maybe also rare drops if you're lucky.
- Summon multiple piglins and a single Johnny vindicator. Killing the piglins with /kill @e[type=piglin,distance=..10] or suffocating them before their anger timer runs out (after 20-40 seconds) should cause them to drop XP, despite never having interacted with the player.
Analysis
From a decompilation of 14w21b's class "abd" method bz() (which appears to be the "for each tick" AI handler for zombified piglins), there is code that appears to be checking for whether the piglin is angry and has the UUID of who he's angry at but no actual target, and if so it attempts to find the player corresponding to the UUID. And for some reason it also sets what appears to be the "damaged by player" counter (field "aM"), even if the UUID doesn't actually correspond to a player. And further, it appears to be setting the counter to the wrong value.
It appears that it'll also set the "damaged by player" counter incorrectly when loading the zombified piglin from NBT, although in this case I'd guess it'll probably be setting it to 0 so it shouldn't matter much.

Zombie Pigmen drop experience when killed by non-player entities (e.g. iron golems)
As I understand it, hostile mobs aren't supposed to drop experience or rare drops and the like unless they were hit by a player or a tamed wolf within 5 seconds before death. However, in the latest snapshot, this is not true for Zombie Pigmen angered by an attack on another Zombie Pigman.
To reproduce:
Construct some iron golems. Spawn multiple zombie pigmen. Wait for the golems to kill the pigmen. Experience orbs will be dropped, and maybe also rare drops if you're lucky.
Trap a skeleton where he can shoot at you but not escape. Spawn multiple zombie pigmen in the line of fire. Experience orbs will be dropped, and maybe also rare drops if you're lucky.

We considered the XP dropping a bug, so if they did change it, it is intended, see MC-56653 for more details.
Works as intended, see MC-56653
(Please note that Mojang couldn't care less about breaking farms, sorry.)
As [Mod] violine1101 said, MC-187449 was re-opened, so I think the "Fix version" for this (MC-56653) should be 20w22a, as that was the last version to have the WAI way of XP dropping
![[Mojang] Adrian Östergård](../../../data/assets/gravatar/nighter.jpeg){kind=small}
We'll fix this for 1.16, but MC-56653 should still remain open as that will be fixed in a future version.

Confirmed.
Note it's not just iron golems. I've personally tested skeletons, and I suspect any mob that you can get to attack the zombie pigmen would work.
confirmed 14w25b and 14w25a
For some reason, it only happens some times with me.
confirmed for 14w28a
confirmed for 14w29b
confirmed for 14w32d
The recent title edit by [Mod] Anon Ymus is incorrect. In particular, I created a 23x23 portal with trapdoors at Y=30 above a Superflat world in 14w32d, cranked up randomTickSpeed, and watched zombie pigmen walk off and die. None dropped experience or any rare drops.
The key is that a pigman must be damaged by a non-player entity; any passive pigmen within the anger distance will be marked as "damaged by the player" and will therefore drop XP on death.
Still exists in 14w34b.
You can do this by just hitting them with a snowball and getting them to drop as well. Very easy to reproduce. Here's a gyfcat:

and here's a youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8FFKvbhMdY
Getting hit by a snowball counts as player damage (even though it does 0 damage), so any death within 5 seconds counts as a player kill. Whether all the rest of the pigmen that get angered from hitting one with a snowball should also count as player kills is a good question, though.
Still present in 1.8-pre1.
Still present in 1.8-pre2.

Still present in 1.8. Boo.
It only seems to happen sometimes with Iron Golems.
Btw you don't need to confirm your own bug in the comments, that is for other people to do so the reporter/mods can update it.
Still present in 1.8.1-pre2.
It would be good to know if this AI change is intended or if it will be fixed.
Seems to be a bug and not an intended AI feature:

I think this is releated to pigmen angering when attacked by any mob as the fix looks the same.
Still present in 15w45a.
I haven't tested it, but I suspect that since 15w43a the possibility of rare drops has been removed. They still drop XP as described here, though.

It's because the zombie pigman thinks, that the player attacked, it so that's why this will happen.

Please link to this comment in the description of the report.
The following is based on decompiled version of Minecraft 1.8 using MCP. All method and class names are the names used in the decompiled version.
I can confirm what the descriptions says. For whatever reason the net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntityPigZombie class is the only subclass of the net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase class that modifies the protected int recentlyHit field. If the value of this field is greater than 0 or if a mob was killed by a player it drops rare items and xp on death.
The methods protected void updateAITasks() and public void readEntityFromNBT(NBTTagCompound tagCompund) of the net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntityPigZombie class both cause this problem because they only test if the UUID of the attacking entity is not null. If this is the case they set the attacking entity to a player with this UUID. As the UUIDs of other entities beside players can be stored the result of this.worldObj.getPlayerEntityByUUID(this.field_175459_bn) is null.
This creates a loop (every tick) for the protected void updateAITasks() method which constantly sets the attacking entity to null until the Anger value is 0.
Still in 1.9.1-pre3
Confirm for 16w14a
Confirm for 1.9.4
Confirm 16w20a.
Confirm 1.10.2
Wouldn't this be considered a case of W.A.I? I think the game checks for player kill responsibility based on last time the player attacked and whether any neutral mobs have been set to hostile in the area.
No, it even affects zombie pigman not touched by a player at all (and killed by Johnny).
Confirm for 1.11
I think it's fixed in 1.13-pre6, which makes me sad
How did you test it? It's still working for me (but don't tell Mojang..).
Still able to reproduce as well. Also it seems that any cause of death (not just mobs) cause XP drops as long as the pigman was aggravated at some point due to another pigman being attacked; e.g. summoning multiple pigman and a Johnny vindicator will cause the pigmen (except the one originally attacked) to drop XP when killed with /kill or suffocation.
Can confirm for 1.13-pre10.
Attached is the datapack I have used to reproduce this issue. The datapack contains a function that summons a pack of zombie pigmen riding a pufferfish. The pufferfish eventually dies and the zombie pigmen attack the player (
MC-69032). The zombie pigman have primed TNT on their heads which will eventually explode, leaving no drops but occasionally some experience orbs. Each time I reproduced I punched some of the pigmen before the TNT exploded.Can confirm for major release 1.13.
confirm for 18w31a
Can confirm for 1.13.1-pre2.
Can confirm for 1.13.1.
Confirmed for 1.13.2-pre1.
Confirmed for 19w04b.
Im relatively sure that this is a feature, and not a bug
Does not exist in minecraft 1.1 Java edition so was this introduced in 1.8 then?
can confirm for 20w16a
I'm no longer able to reproduce this in 1.16-pre1. In 20w22a, spawning a Johnny vindicator or snow golem next to zombified piglins and /kill'ing the piglins after they have killed the vindicator causes XP to be dropped. However in 1.16-pre1, I can no longer get them to drop XP through that method or the ones in the description, with any combination of the forgiveDeadPlayers or universalAnger gamerules.
Can confirm.
Based on
MC-187449, this is resolved, can anyone else confirm this?Yes. I can confirm.
Seems resolved in 1.16 pre2 too
Will this break entity cramming gold farms, or just when they are angered by mobs?
From what I have heard so far, it does break some XP and rare drop farms.
Does that mean that it doesn’t break some?
Here is a list of things ruined by this being fixed:
Honestly it's very shocking that this has not been marked as WAI or WF given that it has existed and been used since 2014. This also means that there will now be a very compelling reason to stay in 1.15.2 given that this is now fixed and
MC-183931is still broken. It makes near all nether based farms quite useless.In my opinion, one of the worst things that has ever happened to the tech community was 1.13 because then there was a split with tech servers where some wanted to use 1.12 and some wanted to be on latest. This was near fixed with 1.15 with major tech servers finally making plans to upgrade. But now with the state of the game, 1.15 will become the major tech version and the tech community will be split again.
In the end, this being fixed will only harm tech players and do literally nothing negative for casual players.
I'll try to keep this comment updated with anything else that will be ruined by this fix.
You can use furnaces to accumulate XP and just mass-collect it all at once. That's way more convenient for enchanting anyway.
For ice farms you can pretty easily mass-buy pickaxes from villagers. It's pretty easy to get one that sells you a pickaxe that's good enough for direct use in ice farms, no combining needed.
Mending is not ruined at all, there are tens of ways to get XP.
A bug being in the game for long or being abused a lot does not make it a feature.
Please keep all further discussions about this report on the bug tracker subreddit.
Since we're not sure whether this was fixed on purpose or on accident, we have reopened
MC-187449which is about this bug having been fixed.Edit: Seems like this was fixed on accident, see https://twitter.com/ThatZepheron/status/1269259361706283008
As per https://twitter.com/slicedlime/status/1269259752313442307
As [Mod] violine1101 said,
MC-187449was re-opened, so I think the "Fix version" for this (MC-56653) should be 20w22a, as that was the last version to have the WAI way of XP droppingKEN_2000: I have removed your comment for the reason that this is a bug tracker, not a discussion page. Please either head to the Mojira Subreddit, or the Mojira Discord.

affects 1.16.2, please update.
Can confirm in 21w05b.
Can confirm in 1.17 Release Candidate 1, they drop XP when killed by the wither in an angered state (discovered by testing MC-162633).
Can confirm in 1.17 Release Candidate 2.
Can confirm in 1.17.1 Pre-release 3.
Can confirm in 1.17.1.
I think it can be avoided by using main entity IDs (like 6e03b567-5460-4229-bc4b-72c53c7e6fbf) instead of UUIDs (like [I; 1430853744, 2053259869, -1963946807, 1023847181]).
Can confirm in 1.18 Pre-release 1.
Can confirm in 1.19.
I thought that 1.19 was supposed to fix this, but it still happens in 1.19.2 (I am using entity cramming to kill).
Can confirm in 1.19.3
Can confirm in 23w03a. Added an image to clearly demonstrate the issue.
Can confirm in 1.20.1 (but for some reason this bug don't work in paper servers)
Can confirm in 1.21.
Can confirm in 1.21.4.
I think they should drop the gold but not the XP as XP is only dropped upon killed by player or tamed wolf.
