The bug
The string/line for tridents is gone when they are coming back to you with loyalty. Also, the animation is not smooth as it was in 1.13, and instead the trident will sequentially spasm and teleport simultaneously as it comes back to you.
How to reproduce
- Enchant a trident with loyalty
- Throw the trident
→The trident will have no string/ling and the animation is not smooth

Actually the laggy trident issue happens in 20w22a, though there is no string for the loyalty trident.

I'ts duplicate of MC-136136
On Java, the rope is completely gone. See MC-136136.
When the player throws a trident enchanted with loyalty onto a surface, the animation will appear to be inverted and clip through said surface leading to an unusual and unexpected look.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Get a loyalty trident
/give @s trident[enchantments={levels:{'loyalty':3}}] - Throw it at a flat transparent surface
/fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~5 ~5 minecraft:gray_stained_glass
Observed & Expected Results:
- The trident's pitch turns 180 degrees around before eventually returning to the player.
- The trident would curve in a reasonable arch upward before returning to the player.

Original Description
by Joseph Harris
The bug
When throwing a trident on a 19w46b server, the trident flies normally but after it sticks it then proceeds directly away from the player, then it appears back in the inventory. this is especially apparent when throwing the trident directly into glass. trident has loyalty 3 and mending on it.

I think a better description would be "Loyalty trident comeback animation is broken" since the trident comeback animation used to be smooth and correctly rendered. The animation right now not only lacks a rope, but it also looks like the trident is teleporting randomly all over the place and sometimes the animation just doesn't play at all. The trident looks like it's suffering serious lag even when the game isn't even lagging.

In the official changelog there is no mention of a rope or string. The trident is enchanted, and therefore has magical properties that allow it to return to it's owner without any physical connection. I do agree that the animation should be fixed though.
