Shields don't lose durability when blocking bees' attacks on easy or normal difficulty

The Bug:

Shields don't lose durability when blocking bees' attacks on easy or normal difficulty.

This behavior is very likely intentional judging by the resolution of MC-137588.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Set the difficulty to "easy" or "normal".

  2. Obtain a shield, summon a bee and attack it.

  3. Block the bee's attack with your shield.

  4. Take note as to whether or not shields lose durability when blocking bees' attacks on easy or normal difficulty.

Observed Behavior:

Shields don't lose durability.

Expected Behavior:

Shields would lose durability.

Shields only take damage for attacks stronger than 2 hearts.

I can only reproduce this on easy and normal difficulty, but not on hard, because as mentioned above, shields only take damage when blocking attacks that are stronger than 2 HP, so this is like intended. Also see MC-137588.

Can confirm in 23w06a

Working as intended as per @unknown's comment on MC-259902: "The minimum incoming damage to cause durability loss on a shield is 3".
