Phantoms deal less damage in 1.14+ than in 1.13.2

The bug

Phantoms deal less damage in 1.14+ than in 1.13.2. This damage change does not appear to be mentioned in any changelogs and therefore could be unintentional.

Difficulty Damage in 1.13.2 Damage in 1.14+
Easy 4 (2 hearts) 2 (1 heart)
Normal 6 (3 hearts) 2 (1 heart)
Hard 9 (4.5 hearts) 3 (1.5 hearts)

How to reproduce

  1. Summon a phantom with a spawn egg or /summon phantom
  2. Switch to /gamemode survival while not wearing any armor or under the Resistance effect
    → Observe the damage done by the attacking phantom
