MC-73964Snow golems attack creepers
The Bug:
Snow golems attack creepers.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Summon a snow golem and a creeper by using the commands provided below.
/summon minecraft:snow_golem ~-3 ~ ~
/summon minecraft:creeper ~3 ~ ~
- Wait around ten seconds or so for the snow golem to notice the creeper.
- Take note as to whether or not snow golems attack creepers.
Observed Behavior:
Snow golems attack creepers.
Expected Behavior:
Snow golems would not be able to attack creepers.
Code Analysis:
Code analysis by [Mod] Avoma can be found below.
The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.19.2 using MCP-Reborn.
public class SnowGolem extends AbstractGolem implements Shearable, RangedAttackMob { ... protected void registerGoals() { ... this.targetSelector.addGoal(1, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Mob.class, 10, true, false, (livingEntity) -> { return livingEntity instanceof Enemy; })); } ...
If we look at the above class, we can see that snow golems are designed to attack any living entity that is considered an enemy. A creeper is considered a monster and a monster is considered an enemy, therefore allowing snow golems to attack creepers. The game doesn't check if the said entity is a creeper before allowing a snow golem to attack it, therefore resulting in this problem occurring.
Fix:
Simply allowing snow golems to override the canAttackType() method located within the Mob.java class to make it so that they cannot attack creepers will resolve this problem. The following lines of code can be added somewhere within the SnowGolem.java class to fix this issue.
public boolean canAttackType(EntityType<?> entityType) { return entityType != EntityType.CREEPER && super.canAttackType(entityType); }

Created Issue:
Creepers explode when provoked by Snow Golems
Put the summary of the bug you're having here
What I expected to happen was that the Creeper wouldn't react, since it should only be provoked by the player. This caused grieving in my creative world
Instead it should not explode at all in creative mode and only explode when provoked by the player in survival. Also, Snow Golems shouldn't attack when Iron Golems wouldn't attack in the same situation (this bug doesn't happen with an Iron Golem)The Creeper exploded when attacked by the Snow Golem
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In creative mode, create a 2x1 pen and make a Snow Golem in it
2. Spawn a creeper in it and watch the Golem attack the Creeper and the Creeper react!Environment

But Creepers also react when attacked by a Vindicator named "Johnny", and being shot by a Skeleton, so Creepers can be provoked not just by a survival player, but snow golems attacking them is still strange.

Fix:
Simply allowing snow golems to override the canAttackType() method located within the Mob.java class to make it so that they cannot attack creepers will resolve this problem. The following lines of code can be added somewhere within the SnowGolem.java class to fix this issue.
Fixed Code:public boolean canAttackType(EntityType<?> entityType) { return entityType != EntityType.CREEPER && super.canAttackType(entityType); }The Bug:
Snow golems attack creepers.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Summon a snow golem and a creeper.
/summon minecraft:snow_golem ~-3 ~ ~/summon minecraft:creeper ~3 ~ ~- Wait around ten seconds or so for the snow golem to notice the creeper.
- Take note as to whether or not snow golems attack creepers.
Observed Behavior:
Snow golems attack creepers.
Expected Behavior:
Snow golems would not be able to attack creepers.
Code Analysis:
Code analysis by [Mod] Avoma can be found below.
The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.19.2 using MCP-Reborn.
net.minecraft.world.entity.animal.SnowGolem.javapublic class SnowGolem extends AbstractGolem implements Shearable, RangedAttackMob { ... protected void registerGoals() { ... this.targetSelector.addGoal(1, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Mob.class, 10, true, false, (livingEntity) -> { return livingEntity instanceof Enemy; })); } ...If we look at the above class, we can see that snow golems are designed to attack any living entity that is considered an enemy. A creeper is considered a monster and a monster is considered an enemy, therefore allowing snow golems to attack creepers. The game doesn't check if the said entity is a creeper before allowing a snow golem to attack it, therefore resulting in this problem occurring.

Iron Golems do actually attack Creepers occasionally, but I agree that Snow Golems shouldn't attack Creepers since they can't kill/damage them anyway.
I think it's fine that Snow Golems attack Creepers in general, but in creative mode...
Regression of (and relates to)
MC-61844Lucas, that talks only about iron golems.
@Sonic: Well then only relates to.

Renamed to the real issue.
Still in 1.11.2 - Snow golems will attack creepers, and in return, creepers will target the snow golems.
I think the real issue is actually the inconsistency between snow golems and iron golems. Iron golems won't attack creepers, whereas snow golems will. It used to be that creepers attack golems, which is what
MC-61844was about. Now the creeper sits there peacefully until the snow golem provokes it.I am unsure as to how this inconsistency would best be fixed. Preventing snow golems attacking creepers could break some creeper-based tree farms (but who still uses them?), but making iron golems attack creepers would just reverse the fix to
MC-61844.Its in 1.13 and in 18w30b.
Still in 1.14.4 and 19w34a
This sounds invalid, and more like a feature request.

Creepers can get provoked by not just the player, but also vindicators named "Johnny", and skeletons who shoot them, so creepers attack the snow golem because they just got attacked, but snow golems attacking them at all is still an issue though.

This bug can cause creepers to explodes without having a player near them which is very annoying if you have snow golems outside.

It even happens even if the Snow Golem is inside a walled area, and then the creeper will blow a hole in the wall, adding more problems.
AttackablePage The vindicator named "Johnny" is really strong killing the creeper fast enough the creeper can't explode him

The title should be changed to "Creepers explode after being hit by snow golems".
Totally agree, that's the real problem, in fact I think that was the reason they made iron golems not attack creepers. Basically creepers aren't supposed to explode unless near the player. If another entity aggros them by hitting them, they can head towards them to retaliate, but if they explode without the player being nearby, that goes against the "if anything bad happens, it's the players fault" philosophy that Mojang is following.
Affects 22w14a.
My preferred approach would be to allow creepers to attack other mobs (and these mobs to attack them), but give them an alternate attack when targeting another mob. Obviously that opens up lots of possibilities; the simplest example I can think of would be if the creeper flashed orange instead of white, and the resulting explosion did light damage to entities and set them alight while leaving blocks unharmed. It's a feature request, but it's also similar in scope to the AI updates other old mobs (namely zombies and skeletons) have received over the years.
Following on from my code analysis, I've double-checked my proposed fix and I can confidently confirm that it's fully functioning and works as expected, so I've attached a screenshot to this report that shows the method that needs to be added somewhere within the SnowGolem.java class to fix this issue. I feel this information may be quite insightful hence my reasoning for providing it.
