	* A creeper retaliates against a mob that attacks it, but only if the player is outside the creeper's sight range. If not, the creeper continues pursuing the player.
	* Breaking gold, opening a chest, or failing to wear gold armor near a [[Minecraft:piglin]] causes the piglin to set the player as its permanent target. This means that a piglin does not infight with other mobs once it becomes angry at the player, even if the player never directly attacks the piglin.		* Breaking gold, opening a chest, or failing to wear gold armor near a [[Minecraft:piglin]] causes the piglin to set the player as its permanent target. This means that a piglin does not infight with other mobs once it becomes angry at the player, even if the player never directly attacks the piglin.
	* The [[Minecraft:warden]] prioritizes attacking players over mobs, meaning if a warden is targeting a player, it doesn't retaliate against other mobs until the player dies.
	* The [[Minecraft:wither]] in ''[[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition]]'' can retaliate only against invisible mobs, because it would already attack non-undead mobs instantly.

	If a [[Minecraft:mob]] capable of attacking is directly attacked by a player or another mob, the damaged mob stops attacking its current target and attacks the mob or player that damaged it. This causes the mob that did the damage to retaliate in turn, and the two of them become locked into a duel until one of them dies. This is useful in combat as it distracts two monsters temporarily, kills one of them, and severely weakens the other.
