Vertical knockback is unaffected by knockback resistance
Partner Rank: 3
Verification builds: 1.16.100.59, 1.16.200
Regression builds: None, this always existed
Summary: Knockback resistance only dampens horizontal knockback. Vertical knockback is always the same unless knockback resistance is 100%.
Impact: We have an upcoming map with combat mechanics that are made worse/less fun by this behavior.
Repro Steps:
- Download and open the attached world
- Punch the cow on the left that has 100% knockback resistance
- Punch the cow on the right that has 99.9% knockback resistance
Expected Results: Practically no difference
Observed Results: The cow on the right is knocked a whole block vertically into the air
