Sometimes arrows just hit me and fall to the ground dealing 0 damage. Normally this is a benefit but it's a bit weird. It's like I have a shield held up, but I don't. It just happened again with what I assume is the same bug, except this time it was a firework rocket, where all 3 rockets detonated near my head 1 by 1 and did 0 damage.

i think this happened to me yesterday, i shot a glowing arrow at the block above me and when i broke it didnt hit me. lost 6 effects that way and gave up (luckily in lobby)

this is a vanilla thing

Oh interesting

Any idea what causes it or if it's fixable?

I hadn't seen anything on fireworks dealing zero damage but they're used less commonly so idk if it's a related bug or not.

Probably also vanilla though even if it's separate

the arrow thing is usually caused by client server desync, it missed you in the server but hit you in the client, so it renders it bouncing off. not sure about the fireworks though, did you have a block above your head?

Yeah I was standing in a 1x2 for the first one, after it did 0 damage I tried a 1x3 hole to see if that was the problem.
