A minotaur stole my trident and attacked me with it...

First time trying this modpack. I got a trident that could burn enemies in a village. After 2 shotting 2 zombies I tried to fight this minotaur and while fighting I tried to block with my shield but I think I accidently threw it. The minotaur then started throwing tridents at me and killed me. By the time I returned there it had despawned.

Can mobs steal your weapons in this modpack or was it some sort of glitch?
