Spider attack does not appear to damage shield durability
When a spider attacks and you direct your shield at it, the shield does not lose any durability. I went AFK (away from keyboard) for an hour with no difference whatsoever.

I am pretty sure it means llama (based on the context and use of the word "merchant"), and the report says the spit attack from it doesn't damage the shield. (which I'm pretty sure is intentional) If it is intentional, MC-137588 should also be resolved the same way.

The Bug:
Shields don't lose durability when blocking bees' attacks on easy or normal difficulty.
This behavior is very likely intentional judging by the resolution of MC-137588.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Set the difficulty to "easy" or "normal".
- Obtain a shield, summon a bee and attack it.
- Block the bee's attack with your shield.
- Take note as to whether or not shields lose durability when blocking bees' attacks on easy or normal difficulty.
Observed Behavior:
Shields don't lose durability.
Expected Behavior:
Shields would lose durability.
I can only reproduce this on easy and normal difficulty, but not on hard, because as mentioned above, shields only take damage when blocking attacks that are stronger than 2 HP, so this is like intended. Also see MC-137588.

Shields won't take damage when blocking any weak attack (that does less than 4 damage). Isn't that intentional?
