Tridents are not doing damage to silverfish in the armadillo xp farm

The tridents no longer seem to be “eternally” falling, and are now going to a stuck position that doesn’t do damage to the silverfish that spawn from the potion of infestation. My world has been kind of buggy to begin with and I’ve needed to throw the tridents again before every use of the farm, but now(since the new update) they go to that position and don’t do damage. I did a ton of research and even rebuilt the farm in a new chunk to see if it would work again, but none of it worked. I’ve seen this on the forum from many other people and hope it gets fixed soon, as with the mending enchantment it’s incredibly useful to be able to mend every item I have back to full strength.
