Description

Expected behavior

As in earlier versions, the nodding does not happen, they look straight at you

Observed/Actual behavior

Mobs / animals nod when you stand on a pedal flower (1.20 biome flower) after a while when they look at you.

Steps/models to reproduce
  1. Place a pedal flower next to you
  2. Spawn a mob / animal next to you that can walk and look at you
  3. Stand on the flower and observe the mob / animal
  4. When they look at you, they rarely nod a few times in a weird way

Other

It could be that the AI has trouble because the flower is a block that is not entire a block but the AI is confused. Not 100% sure it is Paper or just Minecraft

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the behavior on Paper git-Paper-167 with a pedal flower and a mob or animal that can look at the player, then compare against the earlier version if available; done means the reproducible nodding no longer occurs without regressing normal mob looking behavior.
