The string/line for tridents is gone when they are coming back to you with loyalty. Also, the rotation sometimes spasms when the trident turns.
How to reproduce
Enchant a trident with loyalty
Throw the trident
→ ❌ The trident will have no string/line and the animation is not smooth

I think a better description would be "Loyalty trident comeback animation is broken" since the trident comeback animation used to be smooth and correctly rendered. The animation right now not only lacks a rope, but it also looks like the trident is teleporting randomly all over the place and sometimes the animation just doesn't play at all. The trident looks like it's suffering serious lag even when the game isn't even lagging.
Can confirm in 24w19a
Also steps to reproduce:
1. Get a trident with loyalty:
/give @p trident[enchantments={levels:{"minecraft:loyalty":3}}] 12. Throw it
