Other

ProjectileLaunchEvent does trigger when throwing a trident as a player. However, to listen in on that event for all projectiles is not that efficient when there is a PlayerLaunchProjectileEvent.

I can replicate this :+1: As per API definition of the Trident interface (it implements ThrowableProjectile) is a projectile and the player does launch it, e.g. I would expect the event to fire here. The PR that originally introduced this patch was during a pre-1.13 state of paper and presumably simply missed the trident/maybe the trident did not exist at that stage yet ? (PR)

This is the same for shooting arrows and spectral arrows. I would expect this event to fire as well for those cases. But that might just be me.

The fact is, this is meant for items that when you "right-click" it "throws" it. But arrows have never been included in this event.
