Projectiles can no longer deflect ghast fireballs

Fireballs fire from ghasts can no longer be deflected by projectiles, such as; arrows, tridents, snowballs, and more. This behavior is entirely unique to 1.20.5 Pre-Release 1, and is likely a result of the fix for MC-207353.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. (Optional) Give the player regeneration, for ease:
    /effect give @s minecraft:regeneration infinite 255 true
    
  2. Summon/spawn a ghast
  3. Attempt to deflect the ghast fireball with an arrow fired from a bow, a loyalty (optional) trident, or snowballs

Observed Behavior:

The projectiles will either break, or be deflected, and the fireball will not be redirected.

Expected Behavior:

The fireball would be redirected, as this functionality existed in a previous snapshot, and is no longer possible. (I was unable to find any indication of this being an intentional change)
