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.

    For those complaining "it's too OP for casual players", the ones who are good at attribute swapping sunk hours upon hours upon hours into learning the techniques you can apply using attribute swapping and how to execute them. Any casual player can learn how to attribute swap effectively if they're willing to put the time in. And if they're not willing to put the time in, they're not going to be good at pvp regardless of if attribute swapping exists or not - there's always going to be sweats.

    This patch would be a problem instead of a simple bug fix, the PvP Community solely relies heavily on it and having it fixed makes it a problem for the PvP Community

    We don't need need a 2nd separation in Minecraft pvp. First the divide between 1.8 and 1.9 and now this if it doesn't get reverted???? Honestly, attribute swapping is the coolest minecraft bug in my opinion and is such an important part of 1.9+ pvp. It would suck to not be able to use this in newer versions.

    Attribute swapping does not only affect the spear and the mace but also block placing in crystal pvp it’s like you have a delay between switching items. In general this change affects every single aspect of pvp and maybe even speedrunning. There are many other bugs you should fix but not this one pls.

    This ruins java pvp
    Its like mojang's trying to make java pvp more like bedrock's pvp(which is bad btw)

    This ruins alot of things
    Like mace swapping, shield stunning, crystals and anchors, lunge swapping, insta carting, pvp in general and even fast block placement like swapping between blocks fast to build is gonna also be ruined
    And i'm pretty sure if this doesn't revert the game WILL get alot of backlash and all pvp servers will definitely install a plugin/mod to add back attrib swap and most definitely
    Pvp is gonna last at 1.21.11
    No ones switching

    This Update will ruin Minecraft, like in the past 4 Years new and new People started buying Minecraft because of Minecraft pvp. When this Update comes out, then the player count could be just like what happened to Roblox.

    Yeah these changes should absolutely not go through, worst case scenario they remove attribute swapping it definitely needs to be without the hotbar item swap delay.

    Bro this literally effects everything. Lemme name a few: axe pvp: sword axe hits and stuns. Crystal pvp: basically everything if you want to go fast. Mace: for obvious reasons and is one of the reasons we are here today. Spear mace: another reason we are here. UHC: stun webs, stuns, stun lava. And its also annoying because the day I literally master spear mace, I see this happen and reconsider my life choices.

    Every single gamemode will be affected by this change, except for sword and pot of course(crystal because this causes placing speeds to be incredibly fast, enough that both crystalling and anchoring is near impossible). Almost every gamemode uses a shield, and woth this change stunning is slow and not engaging at all. Also, the mace and spear are genuinely useless because attribute swapping is almost all they are good at

    But hey, whos down to grind creeper pvp with me!!! I love this game!!!!

    Being a competitive paper and a player who loves minecraft just because of its pvp mechanics this change is really bad . This breaks every gamemode i used to play . Like without attribute swapping who uses a spear ? Mojang this is a really bad decision of yours they say it's a big but this bug has lead to many players actually using the spear if you wanted to remove it why remove it after spear got its recognition in the community. Revert this change as soon as possible.

    This doesn't just affect pvp. if you place a diamond block for example and then switch to emerald block. You will still place the diamond block if you do it in a few ticks. This is horrible for all aspects of the community listen and please revert mojang.

    They will never look through this, all they care about is the speed running community, big events for them and all that because it has larger player base while us in the pvp community gets neglected, i hope these attribute changes gets reverted but theres a good chance it won’t because they don’t care about the pvp community

    It is really really good to have in like spear mace and mace gamemodes. It would ruin spear pvp fully so your game would maybe even lose people...

    This would ruin Minecraft PvP and possibly speedrunning on newer versions though I’m not a speed runner so I’m not sure but a relatively large demographic is PvP like the biggest servers like the donut smp involving a lot of PvP
