Drowned not taking damage when underwater

When attacking a drowned underwater, they practically swim right through me and when im attacking them, they wont take damage until ive swung my sword 4 or 5 times, yet ill take damage as soon as they swim up to me. Ive also seen many drowned, especially the ones with tridents, get stuck in a block and spin in circles constantly until you get close enough for them to lock onto you.

please add step to reproduce the issue or provide some screenshot or video regarding the issue.

go underwater and fight a drowned.....

 

they will literally be in your face or swim through you and wont take any damage when you swing your sword but theyll cause you damage

I can confirm this issue, it's happened to me countless times. Not all your hits directly on the drowned are registered.
At first, I thought it was the slightly bad internet connection that was the cause. So, I disabled the Multiplayer Game option, and after finding yet another drowned, it occured again. Before this happens, the drowned seems to shake / vibrate very lightly for a fraction of a second.

I managed to reproduce this on Nintendo Switch and on mobile too.

02.01.2020.: I uploaded a video file to the issue showcasing the bug in action.

Reproduced on Windows 10. In Survival mode, when the Drowned is swimming, they seem to jitter and vibrate/shake while attacking you, which might cause you not able to attack them.

 a hitbox problem, it's also very annoying when they get onto your boats, because they'll look like they're sit don on the boat but the hitbos is like they're swimming, so they can hit you even if they're visibly too far away from you

Are you sure you're aiming correctly at their hitbox?

The problem is that the texture of the drowned isn’t aligned with the hitbox of the drowned, therefore you can’r hit the drowned because you think you hits him (you can clearly see it in the video) but the hitbox isn’t there so you don’t damage the drowned

Thank you for your report!
