Maces and tridents show while rowing in a boat
The Bug
Maces and tridents show a small part of their sprite in the player's hand while rowing a boat. Ordinarily, rowing a boat should hide the items the player is holding completely, however, a few pixels of the Mace and Trident still show nonetheless.
This also affects certain custom items as SeaOfPixels has stated.
How to Reproduce
- Hold a Mace/Trident in your main hand while rowing a boat (holding the forward key).
- Note how the weapon will still show in your hand very slightly.
- Placing the weapon in your offhand will also show a bit of itself.

Can confirm:
Confirmed (2).mp4
Likely WAI, this is just how the boat item lowering works, it effects other items too like the trident and custom items not just maces.
SeaOfPixels Can confirm that it does also occur with the trident, therefore the issue has existed for a while. It seems to be dependent on how big the item is, as Minecraft doesn't appear to make the item disappear, instead just hiding it from view (to the best of its ability).
Thank you for your report!
