[MCPE-66545] Looting enchantment not working in my trident killer of the skeleton farm.

So I've built a mob farm with a trident killer around a skeleton spawner in my world. Although it works for xp, bones, and arrows; when I use the trident killer; I dont get any armour or bows in drops despite the looting enchantment on my sword. Whereas if I turn off the trident killer and use my sword to kill them I do get the good drops.

They have to be killed by the player to get bows/armour.
