The bug
When hitting a ghast fireball with a thrown trident, it will usually deflect the fireball as intended, but uncommonly, the ghast fireball and the trident will also pass right through each other as if they never collided.
How to reproduce
Press F3
+ b
(for better observation of hitboxes) and hit many fireballs from the ghasts back by throwing trident. About 1/5 of them will not be deflected.

Can you please check if that's still a thing in 18w20c?
Yes, I confirmed that it still happens in 18w20c, and I also noticed that this usually happens when a ghast shoots fireballs from far away.

Confirmed for 1.13.1.

This no longer happens in 19w12a. The hitbox change of the fireball and trident make the collision work. I may have seen tridents seemingly pass through fireballs, but they now actually collide (or they glitch out in rare cases) instead of not interacting with each other at all.

Setting to CR for now then. If this can be reproduced again, please let us know so we can reopen.
