When holding a shield, if any mob that shoots projectiles (like skeletons or drowned with tridents) attacks, the projectile sometimes gets stuck in the air right in front of the shield instead of bouncing off or disappearing.
The projectile stays there, constantly damaging the shield. In some cases (especially with tridents), the trident gets stuck inside the shield and causes it to break instantly.
Environment
Minecraft Java Edition snapshot 25w43a
Platform: Windows 10 (or your OS if different)
Pure vanilla, no mods
