The bug

Arrows lose their name and NBT data when shot and picked up.

How to reproduce

  1. Obtain a bow and give yourself an arrow with a custom name: 

    /give @s minecraft:arrow{display:{Name:'{"text":"MC-1981"}'}}

  2. Shoot the arrow on the ground using the bow

  3. Pick up the arrow
    ❌ The arrow no longer has a custom name

Expected behavior

Arrows would not lose their NBT data when shot and picked up.

same for boats and minecarts

I think this works as intended. As annoying as it is, entities are not currently capable of retaining information from their item state.

Well I imagine it could work just like spawn eggs do, actually it would be pretty cool if boats displayed their names like mobs do.

Minecarts have been fixed, but arrows from a dispenser, etc. haven't.
