Possible cause (if you are near blazes/skeletons) is
MC-69032.Well, I'm not sure but they seem to behave a little wierd.
In SMP they are focused on ONE player only. They almost never change target, so the other players can hack and slash on zombie pigman while one player attracts them.
It is in Single player. Difficulty = Hard. Natural Regeneration is off. I can go to the nether. Walk up to pigmen and they are all placid and friendly. Start mining in an area where there are no ghasts or blazes, I know that bug about attacking a mob that hurt a pigman exists (this is different). Suddenly when mining Nether Rack a random pigman who was previously identified as friendly charges in and attacks, of course if I defend myself they all join in, but if I move over 100 blocks away (usually 300) everyone settles down and I am able to repeat the issue.
This has happened to me before in previous versions when I mined netherrack, and random zombie pigmen started attacking me for no reason. Maybe something with their AI causes this to happen.
Having been able to recreate this issue in the 1.8 versions I have played up until 1.8.1 pre release 3, I tried in 1.8.1 pre release 4 and was unable to get a zombie pigman to attack me as I mined netherack and quartz.
Previously, it happened 100%. I do not know if any code was changed, but something has. Either in my game or the code. I started this game in the first 1.8 snapshot and have had some snapshots that caused issues and rolled back. But, I have also accidentally loaded the game with 1.7.10 at times. And did that recently with a 1.7.10 Modded Lord Of The Rings Minecraft. It left a lot of empty chests, which was a pity, but easily repairable. However, if that could affect things I guess I should report it.
But, suddenly things appear normal.
