Slimes, magma cubes, and ender dragons can attack quickly, using up a shield's durability in seconds

Slimes, magma cubes, and ender dragons (charge attack) can hit every tick, meaning they can break your shield in seconds.

Steps to reproduce:
Method 1:

  1. Trap a large or medium slime, or a magma cube of any size, in a small area with walls and a roof so that it cannot jump to full height or be knocked back by the shield the full distance it normally would be.

  2. Enter the area while holding a shield. (See

  1. .)

Method 2:

  1. Trap a large or medium slime, or a magma cube of any size, in a minecart.

  2. Use a shield while walking into the minecart. (See

[media]
  1. .)

Method 3:

  1. Use a shield while the ender dragon charges at you. (See

[media]
  1. .)

Expected Results:
Slimes, magma cubes, and the ender dragon attack the same number of times per second as other melee attack mobs.

Observed Results:
These attacks have no attack/damage cooldown. The shield blocks the attack so many times per second that it breaks even with full durability.

Confirmed and updated to include magma cubes and ender dragon. The same issue is confirmed for Java Edition at MC-169167.

Somebody linked these but didn't mention that this bug relates to MCPE-143689  

I have gotten this bug as well. The version is MC Java 1.20.4 on a Paper MC server. It happened to me in a flat area, without the walls or ceiling that the OP said you'd need to do to recreate the bug, and it happened after I ate and then quickly opened the pause menu, and the shield was still up even in the pause menu, and a magma cube completely broke my shield. I submitted the bug here, since I don't know if it happening to me on Java in a different version with a different environment in game
