Tamed wolves don't assist their owners in fighting when entities are damaged by thrown tridents

The Bug:

Tamed wolves don't assist their owners in fighting when entities are damaged by thrown tridents.

Tamed wolves assist their owners in fighting when entities are damaged by a bow and arrow, so one would expect tamed wolves to assist their owners in fighting when entities are damaged by thrown tridents.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Summon a wolf and tame it.

  2. Obtain a trident and summon a husk nearby.

  3. Attack the husk by throwing your trident at it, and observe the behavior of your husk for a while.

  4. Take note as to whether or not tamed wolves don't assist their owners in fighting when entities are damaged by thrown tridents.

Observed Behavior:

Tamed wolves don't assist their owners in fighting.

Expected Behavior:

Tamed wolves would assist their owners in fighting.

When was the last version this worked correctly?

Hi. So there's some misunderstanding here; I've done some investigation and found have found that this report isn't exactly correct.

Tamed wolves do indeed assist their owners in fighting when entities are damaged by a bow and arrow (a ranged attack), contrary to what this report previously claimed. The problem here is that tamed wolves don't assist their owners in fighting when entities are damaged by thrown tridents.

I've updated this report to reflect this new information.
