Ok, so, if you put a trident in a dispenser, it fires it, right? Every time it does this, it wears the trident down. But, when the trident is fired enough times it breaks, instead of breaking, a new one appears in your inventory, good as new. It's a new one, as I've tested it with enchanted tridents and you get a new one without enchantments.
It's been a bug for a while now, but I have a big Drowned farm and wanted to take advantage of the bug before I reported it, y'know?

This issue happens in 1.14.30 hotfix and 1.15.0.51 also.
Steps to reproduce:
Place 2 observers facing each other to create a clock.
Put a dispenser facing a wall to receive redstone power from one of the observers.
Acquire a mostly broken trident from a Drowned (not necessary, but makes it easier to test.)
Place it in the dispenser so it gets fired.
Pick up the trident and put it back in repeatedly until it breaks when fired.
Observed results:
Upon collection, the trident will be newly undamaged.
Expected results:
It should either break when hitting a target or be unable to be fired, such as when throwing it in Survival.
Still affects 1.11.4
