MC-128624Attacking mobs with Riptide trident does knockback in arbitrary directions
The bug
When you attack a mob by throwing a Riptide-enchanted trident, the mob often takes knockback in a random direction (sometimes directly towards you) instead of away from you, which would be the expected behavior similar to normal melee and projectile attacks.
How to reproduce
- Set weather to rain with /weather rain
- Give yourself a trident and enchant it with Riptide (/enchant @s riptide, any level works)
- Switch to 3rd person mode (using F5) and throw the trident at a mob

Can confirm in 1.18.2. This ticket may relate to MC-128624.
I would add that on 18w50a throwing a riptide trident at a mob (any level works) will 1 hit kill the mob.
I tried with pillagers and drowned (under water) they all die when you collide with them.
