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.

    Yeah I have no clue what they were thinking with this update. Please for the sake of the game do not implement this change. I will not be playing any future updates of the game if this goes through.

    I really hope they change it back. Parkour and bridging (mostly bedwars) are some of the most played things. Please listen to the community MOJANG. We really love your game, but than you mustn't give us reasons to NOT love it

    I'm a builder and I agree that this will make building so much more tedious. I already try and work around it so I don't have to crouch and can move a bit faster, but it's often unavoidable. This would genuinely make building less fun.
    I can imagine some people going "well just use Swift Sneak!" but to obtain it, you need to go to one of the most difficult places to conquer in the game to even get it and - again, I'm a builder, I'm not great at the game and it's a genuine challenge for me to go through!

    And Swift Sneak doesn't even fix all the other issues people are complaining about regarding parkour or pvp! Please revert this, you're putting great work into an amazing game, just please listen to the community. These "bugs" don't make the game worse in any way for anyone, don't fix what's not broken.

    This "Fixes" are going to be some of the worst updates of all time. There is no reason to fix them now, and all it would do is further divide the already spread out community. I hope this comment, if ever read, will help Minecraft realize their mistake in this new update.

    The extent to which this would make combat way less interesting is something mojang probably doesn't realise... This would basically make strafing in PvP just a flat out disadvantage, which would change the fundamentals of PvP... Yet again, but this time it won't split the community but unite it against.

    As a console bedrock only player I know this is THE FUNDEMENTAL pvp mechanic and its getting removed?? Like i usually hate java bc of how many features (and way less bugs) it has compared to bedrock, but this is absolutely absurd. The devs are so disconnected with the community and it shows.

    Do not implement these changes Mojang! The community is already incredibly split between 1.8 and 1.9+ updates as it is, there's no need to force people to use older versions again. All this does is make movement far more linear and boring, and severely hurts communities such as the speedbridging and parkour communities, as well as the pvp community altogether. Listen to your community for once and get this change reverted immediately. You had a lot of time to patch this out before it became important in high-level play, and you missed that chance.

    Wenn man nicht auf die Comunety hört und irgendwelche "Bugs" fixed die jeder geliebt hat und nicht das ganze Spiel zerstört haben wird das Spiel aussterben. Es hat nie jemanden gestört und Parkur, PVP, Bridging alls WEG! Klar kann man auch PVP ohne streathing spielen aber es war immer ein wichtiger Facktor der ein sehr viel Spaß gemacht hat! Ach wenn es gerade nichtmal 5000 Leute gibt die es so richtig juckt wenn es erstmal draußen ist hat man (mal wieder) mit einer kleinen Änderung das Spiel versaut. I mean es gibt diesen "Bug" schon seit 15 Jahren und er war immer eine Bereicherung. Außerdem ist es DUMM Minecraft realistisch zu machen, weil man dann ja auch gleich Sprintjumping oder andere Dimensionen entfernen müsste. Die Grafik ist ja auch nicht ansatzweise realistisch. Es sind jedoch genau diese Dinge die ein Game zu das machen was es ist und Spaß machen. Und selbst wenn man nur die Phüsik realistisch machen wollen würde, müsste man auch Dinge wie fliegende Bäume oder generell Sachen wie z.B. Wasser "fixen".

    BITTE, BITTE, BITTE überlegt nochmal ob es einen Mehrwert bietet oder alle unzufrieden macht. Ich hoffe echt, dass das nur ein schlechter Witz ist.

    Many people are already used to 1.9+ pvp and 1.8 is slowly dying. these changes will absolutely destroy 1.9 pvp and its going to end up killing competitive pvp modes comepletely.

    This is exactly right! Non only the parkour and bridging mechanics that have been developed will be undermined but PvP mechanics too - to gain even the slightest more momentum in a fight can determine who wins - that's something that competitive PvPers have put hours and hours in practicing to control. Strafing for that tiny bit of speed is crucial and removing this feature is so, SO stupid.

    I don’t think Mojang fully understands how much removing the 40% diagonal speed increase impacts all sides of the competitive Minecraft community. Mojang needs to engage more with the community and listen to its feedback. Changing core mechanics that have been part of the game for over a decade is not the way to maintain satisfaction or trust among players.

    The removal of the diagonal speed increase affects numerous aspects of gameplay, disrupting mechanics that players have relied on for years. This change negatively impacts key communities, including bridging, PvP, speed running, and parkour. Altering such a fundamental feature creates unnecessary frustration and damages the game’s reputation.

    Rather than altering established mechanics, Mojang should prioritize adding fresh content that enhances the game’s variety and appeal. Introducing new features, challenges, and tools would expand gameplay possibilities without undermining the systems that players already enjoy. This approach would preserve Minecraft’s core mechanics while keeping the community excited and engaged. So basically MOJANG DO NOT PATCH IT
