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.

    Fun movement's one of the most important part of a game, really hoping they change this back, it would make the game so much more boring.

    I'm not even a speedrunner but making major changes to how the player moves is so off-putting. There has never been an instance in this game where I've thought to myself, 'wow, I'm moving too quickly. I wish I the game would make me move significantly slower for no reason.'

    These changes do not improve the game, but simply lower the skill ceiling and hinder the experience for large portions of the player base.

    The truth is that the game is going "unhealthy" with patches without any communication just as M$ normally does.

     

    I think they don't even know how to update a game in a better way. They love to update the game, but in a way of removing features that users really need, like, and are familiar with while adding features that are unfit for the vanilla theme or even useless. Well, they don't even make what users really need!

     

    So dear Mojang, if you see this comment, please check out what has been wrong and what you should do. You guys have been really wrong. Getting worse, is this the best you can do?

    What a mistake it would be to literally downgrade being good at moving on a game that already does not have many mov mecanics

    The "fixed" movement feels really clunky without the old ways to strafe and such

    I really hope this comes back as it was. I'm not really big into speedbridging or sweaty parkour but just playing in my survival world in the latest version feels off and slow when building and exploring, even with swift sneak 3 on my leggins. Please Mojang revert this change :c

    Most of my time playing Minecraft is having fun with the movement, this update would make it so much less fun and if this change ends up sticking around I'll probably switch to other games with better movement

    Whoever came up with the idea that this was a "bug" seems so out of touch.

    Calling MC-271065 and MC-241951 "bugs" just shows how out of touch Minecraft's developers are with their own player base. These mechanics have been a core part of the game for years. Removing them under the guise of "fixing bugs" is absurd.

    It’s clear that this move is driven by the need to "align" Java and Bedrock, especially with issues like MCPE-152775 ("Sneaking sideways is slower on Bedrock than Java"). But this approach is damaging. Minecraft’s identity comes from its unique mechanics, and forcing these versions to be more alike for the sake of a unified experience is a poor excuse for ruining what makes Java special.

    Stop trying to "fix" things that aren’t broken. Stripping these techniques away will break countless maps, disrupt established gameplay, and ultimately hurt the game.

    The consequences of these bugfixes are overblown. Adding a 40% speed buff to base sneaking speed would make majority of casual players happy without reintroducing broken behaviour.

    If building had a change half this bad, it would be reverted in a day, but since it's pvp and parkour they'll sadly probably ignore it

    The movement changes were unnecessary. We, Java players, don't like some bedrock mechanics that mojang is adding to our game. They could leave it as it is or also make changes on bedrock, not only on Java.

    you don't need to "fix" such "bugs" which are been in the game for so long as a player myself i don't think it is a good idea to do this and i think instead of "fixing" such "bugs" we should add that as a part of the games.

    Remember when everyone hated 1.9 because of the combat tweaks and wanted to stay in previous versions? This update is gonna become the new 1.9.

    i completely support this. also the new 2 block fall damage fix and sprint crouching need to stop too. i honestly hope this gets Mojang's attention, but i really dont think it will. I just hope this stops. maybe mods like optifine will keep the old changes. if a moderator sees this, please change this. for the sake of the entire minecraft community, escpecially the ones who use this bug on a daily basis like me. this needs to stop.

    just like why

    It makes a skill difference between the players that can easily do the 45 degrees and those that cannot

    Simple solution: Add a new item. "swift boots" (or parkour boots). 2 leather, 4 feathers. Implement code to restore the lost "features."  As a bonus, the parkour features can be configurable...
