Attack sounds are played at the player's position rather than at the entity being attacked.

When attacking an entity, sounds such as

minecraft:entity.player.attack.strong

,

minecraft:entity.player.attack.crit

,

minecraft:entity.player.attack.knockback

, and

minecraft:entity.player.attack.sweep

are played at the player's position instead of the entity's position. While this could be intentional, it's inconsistent with entity interactions triggered by right-clicking, where sounds are played at the entity's position as expected. For instance, shearing a sheep produces the shearing sound at the sheep's position. It's unclear when sounds like

minecraft:entity.player.attack.weak

and

minecraft:entity.player.attack.nodamage

play. This discrepancy might be intentional to prevent excessively loud sounds for the attacking player upon hitting another player. Testing becomes simpler by increasing the

minecraft:player.entity_interaction_range

attribute. This issue is related to MC-268946.
