A potential (silly) way to test:

Riptide

Just watch a drowned fly through the air.

I noticed this bug when creating my extra bosses datapack. I had a drowned boss and it wouldn't throw the enchanted trident I gave it. I had to use some mcfunctions to change the nbt data of the thrown trident.

Can confirm in 21w11a. This can easily be seen with a riptide trident. Run the following command, and notice how the enchantments of the trident are not considered when the drowned uses it.

/summon minecraft:drowned ~ ~1 ~ {HandItems:[{Count:1,id:trident,tag:{Enchantments:[{id:riptide,lvl:3}]}},{}]}

Can confirm this behavior in 1.18 Pre-release 1. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.

The Bug:

Enchantments on tridents don't work when used by drowned.

Steps to Reproduce:

/summon minecraft:drowned ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{id:"minecraft:trident",Count:1b,tag:{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:riptide",lvl:3}]}},{}]}

• Switch into survival mode and get the drowned to notice and throw its trident at you.

• As the drowned throws its trident, take note as to whether or not the riptide enchantment is considered.
