There was at least one previous discussion of this issue… but it, too, seems to have been removed in The Great Purge…
The base problem is that [unannounced/poorly documented] changes in how the aggro chain propigates were made in [more than one version?] of 1.13, breaking the original farm (published 28Sp17).

WARNING: I have an extemely "grindy" playstyle; YMMV — if this doesn't seem fun to you, mine what you can from it & bin the rest.
I've built the afk pigmen farm by ilmango. It's exactly at max. height and I assume it's exactly the same as his.
Pigmen spawn without problem and I do have in total 12 pigmen around with name tags on them.
However, after about 30 seconds the pigmen spawning don't seem to care about me until I move around or shoot some newly spawned ones with my bow.
Why is this and is there a way to change it?
1.13.1, Spigot server with default config.
