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.

    Attribute swapping is a meta in one of Minecraft’s most popular aspects. Removing a technique whether it’s a bug or feature that players have spent hours mastering is inexcusable. Mojang, for the communities sake please do not remove this glitch.

    It’s the fact how people will have to use third party softwares/mods to make up for this when mc pvp has been like this for years and there are MANY more “bugs” to fix.

    For me this should be reverted back many people spend days or months just to learn this technique just this to be removed , yes i know this is a bug but nether roof was first a bug and yet it still here as feature
    some bug love by the community and have no downside to the game should stay . I know some people like this change and i understand that getting humbled by someone who just spend 6-9 hours a day is frasturating this is getting to far if u cant pvp u can just play singleplayer or play with your friends this update ruinned the 1 of a reason reason minecraft was still fun that was pvp deleting attribute swap kill almost all pvp form in minecraft without attribute swap we can just run from mace player or just hold shield i know stun slam can still be performed but with spear this is honnestly impossible 
    people in pvp community and most of the player coonsider this as a game feature now so please revert it

    PVP is just a lot slower and more tedious without attribute swapping. Makes it boring to play, boring to watch. PVP more of a chore then something fun to do in my opinion if ts doesn't get reverted.

    I get where you're coming from, but I don't think calling it a "gamebreaking bug" is accurate attribute swapping added depth and skill expression to combat. the fact that you could chain moves like breach-swapping with spear reach wasn't inherently broken; it rewarded quick thinking and mechanical execution yes, macros can bypass execution barriers, but that's a macro problem, not a bug problem. Ban macros, don't remove tech As for "devaluing intended design" games often evolve through emergent mechanics. Some of the best combat systems came from unintended interactions that developers later embraced. Calling everything outside original intent a "bug" stifles creativity Also, developers already work around unintended mechanics all the time. That's part of game design. Mojang took a long time to fix it because maybe it wasn't as high-priority as you think. Removing it now just lowers the skill ceiling for no real gain. :/

    the implementation of this in an official release will force servers to iether never update, run a system like hypixle, or use mods to revert the changes, competitive vanilla and mace cannot continue with these changes, this also makes the mace obsolete

    As a mace pvp player, i can confirm that atribute swap is necessary for pvp. Mechanics like mace swaps (both density and breach), stunslam, shield stuns, lunge, safe anchoring and who knows how many are there that basically gott wrecked.
    Please mojang, for the love of everyone who plays your game, return atribute swap!!

    Honestly, no one can even play the game the same anymore if they actually bring this to the June 16 update.

    I personally love attribute swapping and it doesn't really negatively impact the game. I'm still learning how to do it properly but it's definitely a really cool skill to learn rather than just some bug.

    Ok so the removal of attribute swapping genuinely ruins essentially every modern pvp game mode. Disabling attribute swapping is just disabling the mace, no one wants to wait a whole second and a half to hit someone with their mace, that's a long time in the pvp scenarios since anything can change in that second, you pretty much can't lunge with the spear anymore either, and it sucks because no one was complaining about attribute swapping, everyone liked it, but they removed it. I believe the change should be reverted.

    This will majorly impact scripted and non scripted smps, mainly those who usually use a mace and their videos (Wemmbu from UU, Jaden man, Manepear with spear, lifesteal smp, strenngh smp)

    The attribute swapping has been a future in the game for a long time right now and it has effected the pvp community a lot of people have mastered it and that probably took a long time to do it should be back
