Add Trident Killers [Java]

In Bedrock Edition, thrown tridents deal damage every time they hit an entity, allowing piston mechanisms to kill many entities. This does not work in Java, and could be very beneficial to the game experience.

    In Bedrock Edition, (Win10 and Bedrock) our Mob Farms are extremely slow, bedrock already has alot of disadvatages over java, adding trident killers to java will mean alot of players would move to java because of the better features, that means the imbalance it brings will most likely lead to bedrock edition shutting down, so i disagree

    If I'm not mistaken, trident killers are considered a bug in Bedrock Edition. 

    Here's a link to the bug report.

    @FlaredCoder1820 Actually, it's not a bug. If you see the last comment on that link you posted they state that it's working as intended.

    I'm making a trident killer design for Java actually. 100% onto something. Its not that it doesnt work, its that the concept is so much different

    I know this post is old but I'd share my input in case somebody new comes by, trident killers shouldn't exist in Java for a few reasons:
        Java has access to auto-clickers. Because Java is on pc only, auto-clickers are accessible to all players and 99% of the player base is perfectly fine with using autoclickers. 
        Trident killers were originally a bug. At the end of the day, they were a bug much like the TNT duper system that Mojang said they thought was not only a cool new thing but balanced enough to keep in the game. This however means it's likely difficult to recode from Bedrock to Java since it was never intentionally added and is just something they keep in the game. 
        Java was already given an alternative. The ONLY good thing to come from the combat update was sweeping edge. This as everyone knows allows the player to kill all the mobs in the kill chamber. Combine this with an auto-clicker and you have the same efficiency as a trident killer.

    As a Bedrock player who has only played Bedrock but now connects to Java servers via Geyser through my Ps5/Bedrock Together we don't have access to auto clickers. Everybody who was with me on my Bedrock server came with me to start a Java Multiverse and are coming to find out that we hate Java, lol. A working trident killer would help with some of that frustration. Just my 2 cents
