      The Bug:

      After shooting an arrow at another player blocking with a shield, only the person who had been fired at will be able to see the arrow deflecting and landing on the ground.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      (requres two players to test)

      1. Get two players to join into either an LAN, or multiplayer world
      2. Have Player 1 hold and use a shield (If testing alone: hold the 'use' key, then press F3 + T. You can now continue to use it after tabbing out)
      3. Have Player 2 shoot Player 1 

      Observed & Expected Results:

      - The arrow will be blocked by Player 1 using the shield, and the arrow will only be visible to Player 1 afterwards.
      - The arrow would be visible to all players, regardless of who was shot, and who fired the arrow.

      Notes

      Even using F3 + B will not display the arrow entity's hitbox.
