Spears are very inconsistent against skeletons and often deal no damage

When trying to use the charge attack against a skeleton in survival mode, most of the time it simply deals no damage.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. run the following command so you won’t die: /effect give @p minecraft:resistance 1000 4 true

  2. set the time to 12600 so the skeleton doesn’t burn, but other mobs won’t interfere

  3. go into survival, spawn a skeleton

  4. attempt to use the charge attack against the skeleton by sprinting

Expected result:

The spear will damage the skeleton

Observed result:

The spear will often fail to damage the skeleton, just knocking it back

I attached multiple videos as examples to demonstrate the bug

It’s not just with skeletons. I’ve noticed it happen with passive mobs as well, and it probably affects other mobs as well.
