In the latest Minecraft Preview version, I encountered a bug where arrows shot by mobs (like Pillagers, Skeletons, and Strays) do not deal any damage to the mob when they are successfully deflected or bounced back using a shield.
In a completely vanilla environment with no add-ons, the reflected projectile hits the shooter at close range, but no damage is registered.
This bug still persists in version 26.51 on mobile devices.
The shields failing to block or deflect projectiles, severely disrupt core gameplay in both survival and PvP. These are critical bugs that heavily impact the player experience and should not be pushed back.
Please prioritize this issue and fix it in the upcoming update. Thank you.
Steps: 1. Equip shield off-hand. 2. Spawn/approach mobs. 3. Sneak and block.
Expected: Deflected arrows damage entities.
Actual: No damage dealt.
Please edit your report to change the Affected Version to the version shown on the Minecraft title screen
