Petition to Revert Movement Changes MC-271065 and MC-241951 (WE WIN THESE!)

released

THANK YOU MOJANG FOR LISTENING TO US!!!!

- Erasmian <3

On behalf of the parkour and speedbridging communities, bug fixes MC-271065 and MC-241951 need to be reverted. Furthermore, these are actually considered features to many high-level parkour players and speed-bridgers, and should be classified as such.

Taking away the 40% speed increase along the diagonal will hurt a lot of mechanics, maps, and techniques that depend on this, both in parkour and speedbridging. Such a major rework will hurt these communities in the long and short term. This "bug" has established use in these communities, and will frankly affect more than just them. For example, as a user shared here, building in survival will be much more tedious, since placing blocks will be considerably slower on roofs, for example.

Also, taking away the individual axis cancellation of movement at slow speeds significantly impacts sidestep, which is hugely important in parkour and speedbridging. This is a common effect in video games often implemented purposefully, such as b-hopping in CS:GO or Quake. It will negatively impact the movement experience in Minecraft and make it more wooden and stiff.

I think there is no need to implement any of these changes. This will affect the casual experience by purposefully nerfing player movement, and it will affect high-level play significantly; that, in turn, will hurt Minecraft's longevity and force players to older versions. Please, Mojang, do NOT implement these changes.

    bro these "bugs" have been in the game for so long, it has become part of the game
    I fell mojang should be more involved with the community, so that they actually know whats going on. itll kill pvp and bridging.

    First of all, before commenting on this petition, I decided to compare the sneak-strafing speed between 1.21.4 & snapshot 25w03a, and wow... the sneaking is noticeably slower than before. As for that thingy people complained about where jumping from a 2-block-tall height gives fall damage, luckily I checked in 25w03a and that was actually fixed. At least that's outta the way!

    As for this situation, I never knew the old movement quirks were 'bugs', nor that there was a 'bug report' on this. It seems I had lived with these quirks for many years without even realizing it, but I had zero issues with them! I can only hope this 'bug fix' was actually an honest mistake and not a maliciously-intentional one. I never knew sprint-sneaking was a 'bug' too, and I think I had taken advantage of it without even knowing it. Please revert these changes Mojang, because aside from that, these new snapshots are looking very promising...

    Mojang, you did not cook with this update. Please revert.

    The solution is so obvious.

    Just make it a gamerule that's off by default. Let Java players choose between the more efficient classic movement, and the updated nerfed movement.

    If any Mojang developers are reading this, PLEASE consider using this solution rather than choosing one or the other. Some players (myself included) might like the fix, but most want the old movement back.

    Why does mojang always choose the worse feature in terms of parity???

    They implement bad features from bedrock into java and bad features from java into bedrock, why?

    Mojang is doing the same thing Eiji Aonuma did with Majoras Mask 3D.

    Changing stuff about the game that no one but them had an issue with.

    Changing stuff that the consumer didn't have an issue with is a terrible game development practice.

    parkour is unplayable after this change, also the bridging is too slow now that the game is boring. they should revert this change (yeah, change, this wasn't a bug, that was how the game was made in the first place)

    IT'S JUST PART OF THE GAME AND NOT A BUG AND REMOVING IT MAKES NO SENSE AS IT'S BEEN THERE FOR 15 YEARS AND NO ONE HAS EVER ASKED FOR IT TO BE “FIXED”
    IT'S LIKE THE CREEPER WHICH WAS ALSO CAUSED BY A BUG AND IS NOW THE TRADEMARK OF THE GAME

    I like to speed bridge in Vanilla when in the Nether and End, it makes me feel cool. Minecraft's movement has always been my favorite part about it. Please don't ruin our muscle memory for this supposed "fix." I'll never be able to play a subsequent version of Minecraft again without being menaced by a minute movement abnormality! (also this comment box doesn't work on chrome on IOS)

    Just leaving a comment in hope that it boosts its visibility. This is ridiculous that they suddenly think they need to change this. Here's hoping Mojang will be sensible and take this feedback to heart.

    This, the "bug" fix where you now take fall damage from 3 damage and no longer being able to sprint while sneaking, crawling and elytra flight (the elytra one wasn't even a bug) all just feel like anti fun changes for the sake of hitting a quota.

    They can do so much that would be so much more reasonable. And they decide to do THIS???

    Please revert this. All players are used to the current movement. The movement speed and the rules of it are the base of essential gamemodes and strategies. Especially gamemodes like parkour, bedwars, skywars, etc. are affected. I know that the new movement is like in Minecraft Bedrock, but parity updates aside... it's still 2 different games essentially, which have different communities with different priorities. Keeping this in the game will cause another 1.8 situation, where people stop playing the new versions in order to play with the old movement. That would be incredibly sad considering the great updates Mojang published besides this, especially on resourcepacks.
