The bug

If you throw a trident with the loyalty enchantment, then die before it comes back to you, the trident entity hovers around you forever without being able to be picked up.

This is likely caused by tridents not storing the uuid of their owner. This can lead to other issues, like not being able to pick up your own trident.

There is literally no way to make it go away. It makes that cool ribbon animation as if the trident is actually coming back, but it never reaches your inventory
EDIT: killing all entities removes the effect

Exiting the game and re-entering fixes it

Seems to be fixed as of 18w20! 🙂

As @unknown said, the tridents now drop into items when you can't pick them up- i.e. when you die when it's coming back, it drops into an item. Also, same thing for when you throw it then go into spectator mode.
