Skeletons & strays can't shoot entities that are in the same boat as them, but only when the boat is facing north, south, east, or west? Instead, the arrow only appears briefly behind the skeleton's head and makes the "twack" sound despite not hurting the player or sticking into any nearby blocks.
Same thing happens if you put a baby turtle in the boat with it, but that also makes the skeleton's arms look weird.
Orienting the boat northeast, northwest, southeast, or southwest seems to fix this (??)
Seems like unintended behavior since most mobs (including other bow-weilding ones - pillagers) can attack players from within boats.
How to reproduce:
1) Spawn a skeleton in a boat
2A) Board the boat and enter survival mode
2B) Put a baby turtle in there with it
(make sure you're aligned with either the X or Z axis)
Confirmed for 1.14.2 (on the edge of a chunk)
I haven't seen any reports of the 2nd half of my post (skeletons being unable to shoot players that are boarded in the boat with them) - seems like unintended behavior because of the arrow graphic glitch and the fact that most other mobs can attack you from boats.
Should I make a separate report for that part?
@Bedwarer_ good point you could go on a romantic cruise with a skeleton. Honestly I was just combing thru the game to find if there was any weird behavior with boats so I could report it and feel like I'm helping
