I made a report like this back when tridents were introduced, but i feel like now is an appropriate time to remake it, mainly due to the fact that last time was considered invalid because I suggested a new feature.
ehem anyways...
How to reproduce:
Step 1: Enchant trident with riptide (preferably III)
Step 2: Look straight up, and keep throwing the trident
Step 3: Have a good excuse for when you land on the ground and die.

it just seems out of place to me, i mean, i get when its raining its SUPPOSED to make the trident work, but this just seems overpowered. Lets say you start a new survival world, and you find a drowned. When you skill said drowned, it drops the trident. awesome! Then you apply riptide to the trident. Now you can fly around as long as it rains. I mean, it could just be me, but 'flight' seems overpowered for mid-game players. I mean, i guess you can argue the fact that its hard to control, and the fact that it needs to rain, but I feel like this isn't intended, but then again, I am most likely wrong, and wasted 5 minutes of my life typing this that i'm never getting back '-'
If the developers want something to be overpowered, it can be overpowered. They'll likely nerf it later.
Works totally as intended. I don't know why you think this is a bug.
