Arrows and tridents blocked by shields bounce in an incorrect way, they bounce repeatedly on the shield, if the player moves forward then will get hit by it.
Steps to reproduce the issue
1. Get shot by an arrow or trident (skeletons, drowneds or players for example) and block it with shield.
2. Stand still blocking or try to move forward while blocking.
Expected result
The projectiles should bounce off slightly forward and just stick to the ground.
Actual result
The projectiles keep bouncing strangely and damaging the shield, if the player moves forward then will get hit by them.
Environment
Windows 10
