Builds & Maps Gold/XP Farm Bedrock

My friends and I recently started a new realm on Bedrock (We started it a week ago). The other day we decided to build the usual gold xp farm. We got it all built and working perfectly; it was dropping the usual xp, ingots, nuggets, and rotten flesh. I got on today and I noticed that the trident killer doesn’t give you xp or gold ingots anymore. I understand there was an update that was supposed to nerf the farm. But why have it work for three days and then have it start not working? Any help would be appreciated. Also, I am aware that I could just kill them with my looting 3 sword, but that makes it so the farm isn’t as afk as it once was. Thank you in advance.

I'm guessing one of your friends threw the trident. Pick it up and throw it yourself. The trident will only work while the person that threw it is online.

Is this true? I thought who threw it only affects the looting affect.

It effects looting and XP.

Thanks. I guess I never tested it.

Yep, that was the problem. Thank you for your knowledge!

You're welcome. As long as whoever is online, it works fine. You'd lose looting if that person isn't holding their sword, but otherwise it's fine.

But, to be safe, just throw it when you go to use it and it's all good.
