When you throw an trident in a mob, it stays still and deals dammage if mob is still under the trident.

This bug allows for Trident Killers, a behaviour considered Intended in Bedrock Edition, as such, I ask the Mojang team to keep this fact in mind when deciding how to patch the bug.
I think that this feature could be very useful for java players who are interested in automating their mob farms, it's a feature that bedrock has and it definitely makes the game less grindy and stressful for players who wanna afk at a mob farm without any external help from an auto clicker.
Can reproduce. Similar case happens to when a trident or arrow hits your shield. The projectile “sticks” onto the shield and keeps damaging it until you put down the shield or move away.
