What is parity? This category is designed just for features that exist but work one way on one platform, and another way on a different platform. Bugs are not parity!

(Bedrock parity) Drowned with tridents use melee attack

(Written in a translator)

In Bedrock Edition drowneds equipped with tridents use melee attacks when close to their target and use ranged combat when the target is not close.

But in Java Edition the drowned with trident always uses ranged atack even when close to his target.

And the attack on the Bedrock is better and more consistent with the function of this weapon because tridents have dual functionality, they serve both for ranged and melee attacks.

A good opportunity to add this feature is in Combat Update V2 because it will make the combat of the two platforms the same but it is not only the players who should receive the combat more similar, also mobs, don't you think?

    You can use tridents as both a melee and a ranged weapon.

    Bedrock Trident Drowned will stack their natural melee damage with the weapon's base damage (possibly buffed with enchantments as well), whereas Java Drowned only ever has ranged damage, making the mob somewhat easier in comparison.

    Though I do also want Java's throwing range (~20 block radius) be implemented into Bedrock (~5-10 block radius).
