I was playing with a friend when he noticed that Im holding the Trident the wrong way around while holding a Shield.
What I expected to happen was:
The Trident looks like you are normally charging it
What actually happened was:
Instead, I was holding the Trident backwards
Steps to Reproduce:
Equip a Shield in your offhand and have a Trident in your hotbar
Block with the Shield
While blocking, scroll to the Trident
Change the camera perspective to see it

Can confirm. The trident is
raisedbackwards in the third person camera perspectives but not the first person. I have some pictures to help explain. (Looked at this wrong.)
