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.

    I feel like weird movement things like this is what makes Minecraft so special. Taking it away is taking away a part of the game.

    Reverse this! It will create a three way between the pvp community and ruin tons of awesome parkour maps. Please just don't go through with this.

    I really would probably quit minecraft with these changes. Shift bridging is such an important part of the game and it hurts to lose such a nice QUALITY OF LIFE feature. It also makes sense to move faster when moving diagonally imo

    These "bug fixes" don't actually fix anything. I think a lot of players will never venture off into the new update because of these updates. As someone who played bedwars for a long time, it would truly ruin the experience.

    I dunno why Mojang is doing all these side quests single-handedly removing decade-old bugs that are treated as features to the player-base. It's almost like they are trying to poke the bear because of it. Mojang needs to implement some form of a policy that states it will not mess with bugs/features or remove them after a certain time period, specifically for things like this.

    These two changes shouldn't be added. They've been in the game for so long, theyre a part of it. Its too late to "fix" them

    I come from the parkour side of Roblox which also has to deal with random physics changes from the Roblox corporation. The Obbying community is such an interesting place and plays a major role in my online presense.I want to see it continue on. I understand that what ultimately drives a company is income, but I think preserving things that are integral to an entire community must come first. Before these changes, it was basically unnoticable and no casual player, may I remind you that casual players make up 90+% of the Minecraft playerbase, no casual player will ever find this an issue at all. You've called bugs features before, and I think its more neccesary than floating sand to call this a feature as well.

    This change would lay an entire 15 years of development in PvP mechanics and parkour mechanics to waste. Core mechanics such as strafing in PvP won't even work anymore, this is by far the WORST change to ever happen.

    Bros invented an enchantment about shifting and discovered 5 years later that shifting is 40% faster in java than in bedrock and decided to nerf java. What a mess of everything this is like 101 of gamedev

    Please revert this! This bug has been in the game for so long it's become a feature! It is super important to the community, parkour, and pvp! This is the equivalent of removing quazi connectivity and would ruin an entire portion of the Minecraft community.

    at a certain point in a bug's life is a time where it turns into a feature. and that's what this is. a feature. it's just how minecraft movement has worked for years. it's like, changing how high the player jumps for no reason

    This bug fix reminds me of a smaller game called Rec Room, which removed a bug that existed in the game for 6 or 7 years, and the community backlash caused them to return it as a feature, it's called "Double-shot" and it would allow you to shoot two arrows with a bow with one pull-back of the string, and it takes weeks, even months for some people, to learn, so them removing it was devastating for everyone who spent so long perfecting their skills, and I feel that removing this bug would have the same effect, as many people have spent EVEN LONGER perfecting this, and it would be DEVASTATING to minecraft's player count (active players, i mean). And the backlash? It'd be horrible, plus, it would make the fanbase feel unheard.

    Please revert this change. I have been playing the game since 1.11 or 12 and I don't mind the new combat system, and I barely ever play servers such as hypixel, but I have used this bug so many times just in vanilla minecraft. If you make this change, it will ruin a massive aspect of the game.
