I have some pretty in-depth questions about an upcoming build that is going to incorporate some Drowned grinding, and I needed some information that the Wiki seems to be lacking.
1. Does anyone know if the detection range on the Drowned is greater for villagers versus turtle eggs? I would rather not use villagers at all for attracting purposes. Long story short, the server is already bogged down with entities, and I would like to avoid adding more. Eggs are plentiful and much easier to deal with.
2. Related to above, if the egg is surrounded by glass (leaving it in a 1 block gap on top of red sand), will the Drowned still 'see' the egg? I would like to ideally isolate the egg from them completely, for obvious reasons, but they still need to 'see' it. Would trapdoors work better?
3. Are Drowned pushed by water currents? I know this may be a dumb question, but it will be the heart of the system, so it needs to do that. I know they can swim pretty well, does this mean the 'pull' system won't work?
In my system, the eggs will draw the Drowned towards an entrance (egg above in glass) that has a 'pull' into a bubble column to a long drop system (to get them to 1/2 a heart).

Don't worry, I'm a doctor.
