When blocking arrows from skeletons or pillagers with a shield, the arrows often get stuck in midair instead of bouncing off. The shield still takes durability damage, and if the player moves forward, the stuck arrows fall and deal damage to the player.
Environment
1. Fight skeletons or any other mob with bow/crossbow while blocking with a shield.
2. Observe arrows getting stuck in the air in front of the shield.
3. Move forward — arrows will fall and hurt the player.
