Most mobs on fire don't try to extinguish themselves

The bug

Some mobs don't try to get into the water when they are on fire (even if for example hostile mobs don't have any player around them or that player is in creative mode).
List of these mobs:

  • Creeper
  • Endermite
  • Evoker
  • Ocelot
  • Zombie Villager
  • Ravager
  • Spider
  • Iron Golem
  • Piglin
  • Axolotl
  • Villager
  • Cat
  • Panda
  • Hoglin
  • Turtle
  • Silverfish
  • Vindicator
  • Wolf
  • Zombie

Additional mobs that try to get into the water, but seem to underestimate their hitboxes:

  • Donkey
  • Horse
  • Goat
  • Cow

How to reproduce

  1. Spawn one of the mobs on this list near water.
  2. Set them on fire with flint and steel.
  3. See how they don't try to get into the water.
