Might apply to every version.

So I was messing around a bit and discovered that you can switch into spectator while holding right click with a bow or trident, and that it'd fire when you released it. The item loses 1 durability as well, and in the case of a non-infinity bow, an arrow is also consumed.

How to do this:

Step 1: Go into creative

Step 2: Charge a bow or trident

Step 3: Press F3+N while holding right click

Step 4: Release right click

Step 5: Go back into creative if you used a trident

If it helps any, I did this in a multiplayer world.
