Disable Sprint After Hits

The combat tests have made some great changes, but I feel that they've missed the greatest flaw in Minecraft PvP; the knockback. Knockback in Minecraft PvP incentivizes chase-based combat, which is boring and slow. Watch any Minecraft video with PvP, or play PvP yourself, and you’ll notice how pervasive running is as a PvP tactic. If a player is running away, and they get hit from behind, they get boosted further away. Fortunately, there is a simple fix for this, I suggest that when hit by another player, if you are sprinting, your sprint is interrupted for half a second. Not only would this improve combat, it’s also realistic. If you were stabbed in the back, you wouldn’t get a speed boost and keep on sprinting, would you?

    This would be horrible for combat! No knockback would be very boring, and stopping sprinting would just make it impossible to sprint in a pvp fight! Sure, running away is annoyingly effective, but personally it's kind of fun.

    I'm with PureAwsome334 . This would take away the purpose of Netherite Armor too since it doesn't give more protection and it doesn't burn in lava.

    Besides, there is no special PvP system. It is just Minecraft pre-1.9. They cannot update old versions, and doing something to PvP when it becomes played on new versions would affect Minecraft as a whole (both PvP and Survival players)

    Thanks for the comments, I made some tweaks and moderated the proposal, I hope it's an improvement
