Loyalty doesn't work on mobs

Trident enchanted with Loyalty III doesn't come back after it hits a monster (tested it out on a pig, Guardian and myself) and is lost forever, tridents thrown at a block do

How to reproduce: Give yourself a Loaylty III Trident, throw it at an animal/monster/yourself, watch it be lost forever

I'd say this is quite a dangerous bug to any survival players that dont know about the LAN + cheats exploit to get it back
