Riptide throwing animation is incorrect in third person view

Tridents enchanted with Riptide have a unique throwing animation. A few updates back, it got removed. They added it back in 1.13.0.4, but the animation is incorrect. It looks like you're throwing a normal trident (first person view not affected).

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Enchant a Trident with Riptide (I, II or III);
  2. Switch to Third Person View;
  3. Throw it.

Observed Results:
A incorrect animation is displayed. You lift your arm and throw it, which doesn't match the first person animation.

Expected Results:
Your hand goes back just a bit, matching the first person view animation.

Screenshots/Videos attached: No

Notes: It used to have the correct animation when it got added. Please notice that it's actually different than Java. Riptide tridents don't have an unique animation there.
