Drowned will not attack players.
When using Bedrock Dedicated Server (latest version, I don't know the actual version), Drowned mobs will not target players. They will swim around, sometimes turn their head to the player, but ultimately ignore them Attacking them does not affect their current behavior.
As a side note, they seem to lose their brains too. While on land, for around 10-15 seconds, they will remain acting like they are swimming, and will often appear half buried in the ground due to this.
Environment
I am running the server on Windows 10, on an AMD CPU, with 8 GB of RAM.
I'm in survival mode, and I am opped. Here's my server properties:
server-name=Survival Server gamemode=survival difficulty=normal allow-cheats=true max-players=10 online-mode=true white-list=true server-port=19132 server-portv6=19133 view-distance=16 op-permission-level=4 tick-distance=4 player-idle-timeout=15 max-threads=4 level-name=world level-seed=1337 default-player-permission-level=member texturepack-required=false
Here are the world settings that I've got enabled:
World Options
Friendly Fire: False
Show Coordinates: True
Fire Spreads: False
TNT Explodes: False
Mob Loot: True
Natural Regeneration: True
Tile Drops: True
Immediate Respawn: True
Cheats

Always Day: False
Do Daylight Cycle: True
Keep Inventory: False
Mob Spawning: True
Mob Griefing: False
Entities Drop Loot: True
Weather Cycle: True
Command Blocks Enabled: True
Random Tick Speed: 1
Also, the command blocks commands that I do use are not related to the issue.
