[MCPE-8556] Enderman and wolves lose their attention on you

When I attacked an enderman and ran about 16 blocks away, the enderman doesn't tp to me and when I went close to the enderman again, it doesn't attack me! Same goes for wolves, I attacked one wolf and ran away then come back, the wolf doesn't attack me back and stays in hostile mode!

Confirmed on iPad Mini on 0.10.4 running iOS 8.2

Very interesting bug, especially with the wolves.
When walking exactly 16 blocks away and returning, the wolf still appears hostile and has the red-eyed texture, but has no interest in me anymore. It may be related to chunk issues, especially since 16 blocks seems to be the magic number

In my situation, when I went away from the wolf after hitting it, it became calm again.I'm using build 13 of 0.11.0.

Does this still apply in 0.11.1?

Renaming 2015-07-11, 06:15:46 AM

It does still!

Does this bug still appear in 0.12.3? If so please respond.

This bug still occurs in 0.15.0, although a bit differently. (Tested on Windows 10.) When a wolf is angered and you run a fair distance away from him, he becomes passive again, unlike in this bug's original description which says the wolf would still appear to be hostile. Endermen also become passive when you run away from them quick enough after angering them.

Please respond and add the current version if you can reproduce this issue.

Confirmed for 0.15.4. (Tested on Windows 10.) Same behavior as in my previous comment.

Can confirm in kindle fire hd enderman lose interest if you go behind a block. They remain aggravated for a few moments then revert to passive state.

This behavior still occurs in 0.16.2/0.17.0.2. However, after looking at the entity behavior files, it looks like the losing-attention-after-a-period-of-time is intended behavior. Closing this issue as "Works As Intended".
