Revert the 26.2-pre-2 changes on Attribute Swapping

On the latest snapshot you can no longer quickly swap from one item to another and retain its attributes/use case. This change not only patched PvP techniques (breach swapping, lunge swapping, ...) used by tens if not hundreds of thousands of players, but it also makes performing actions quickly much more difficult.

For example, a use case of the previous item switching system was a technique often referred to as 'Breach Swapping'. By holding a fully charged Netherite Sword with an attribute of 8 attack damage you would quickly switch to a Mace with the Breach IV enchantment and click. What this would do is take the attack damage of the sword and practically apply it to the Mace, making the Mace deal the sword's damage while retaining its properties of performing smash attacks and being enchanted with breach.

This 'bug' is no longer simply an error in the game's code, as its been in the game for so long that it has been accepted by players as a staple of the game rather than a problem that needs to be fixed.

This still stands after 26.2-pre-3, since they claim that Attribute Swapping will be patched in future snapshots.

    I hope they stop ruining "bugs" which people use as major features in pvp, parkour, or just survival. They really barely care what the people think at this point.

    This is even worse than the player movement changes a while back, this doesn't just make things slower and all that, but destroys one gamemode type (Spear), and ruins most others (Mace, UHC, Axe, anything with shield). But we do get to play "Only Sword", thank you, Mojang!

    This is insane. I don't see how people can see this loved "bug", that only effect the PVP community and rewards skilled players, and think, "hmm, we should get rid of this after 3 years". Its insane they even considered it in the first place.

    As a player who plays minecraft mainly for combat I think that removing attribute swapping is completly destroying the game. You don't even have to be a pvp'er to realise this is ruining the game as attribute swapping is sometimes even useful in single-player. As well as the most popular series as of right now - Unstable SMP is relying on combat as its main form of entertainment and removing attribute swapping would ruin it.

     I know its essentially a bug but here are a few "Bugs" that have been left in the game for years
    tnt duping
    breaking bedrock
    going through walls with ender pearls

    they are just removing the skill ceiling of the game at this point by removing this stuff 
    personally unless a bug truly hurts the game like duping items (e.c.t) i think personally it should stay in

    also its not just attribute swapping that's effected, its every single attack. It now has a 50ms delay no matter what we do, this is due to the packets being sent changing from hotbar -> attack -> use to attack -> use -> hotbar. This means we can no longer fast anchor or crystal, and we can no longer switch to a crossbow and fire instantly! I hope this helps!

    Everyone's angry about this and myself included. This changes mostly every pvp style and technique, from stun slamming, breach swapping,  spear tec, etc. This just makes a very big change in a negative way as a whole in the PVP community. And right now the PVP community is not the strongest given the recent DangerMario situation, we need to stay together a whole community. And this change will not do this at all, instead it will further break the PVP community.  REVERT THIS PATCH

    I hope they revert the change really soon because, it affects not only breach swap but every gamemode except for sword and ogv, if this is not getting reverted i will stick to 1.21.11 forever and will never upgrade any further.

    Attribute swapping has been in the game for so long that removing it would actively hurt the game. Especially PvP

    Atribute swapping is the only thing keeping mace in good condition pvp wise, without it only spear will be useful but it will be extremely hard to hit a mace attack

    this would completely ruin mace pvp, or any mace gamemodes, and there would be no point of double binding (the legal one)

    Its an integral part of PVP in any gamemode with a shield, its the sole reason things like stunslamming, shield stuns and all that are even possible.

    this is not something that the minecraft pvp is dependant on and would heavily drop the player-base if they decide to do away with attribute swapping.

    Anything from mace pvp, crystal, axe, smp, or pretty much any gamemode there is besides sword.

    If you want to remove its counter, then you need to rework the shield as well.
    Because we are not. going back to shield and axe meta.

    The closest thing to shield and axe meta currently is the axe kit, which most people would agree is one of the least fun kits to play.
    Even more so before shield stunning was invented.

    If this gets removed, I quit this game. I have spent 50-200 hours or more perfecting my mace techniques, and I have no reason to keep playing if this is removed.

    Attribute Swapping should be considered a feature like breaking bedrock and creepers. If they never wanted it, they should've removed it the update right after. Yes its a huge bug, but its quite honestly a fun bug that most servers patch out if you dont want it. Its and essential aspect of maces and spears, the newer combat items, and axes with shield disabling. Realistically, they could keep attribute swapping, but not while on the ground so they only patch out breach swapping. Everything else doesnt keep you on the ground besides attribute swapping between smth and an axe to shield disable, but they can hopefully find a way around that.
