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 don’t think this bug was a big issue before the spear got its 4.5 attack range, but I’d still prefer it to be fixed

    Mojang you need to first fix the annoying bugs like the shield banner pattern bug and holding shield not showing bug. You does not need to fix bugs that are more likely considered as 'features'

    This is a foundational ruining of the PvP space in minecraft, if you remove attribute swapping, more than 50-60% of PvP players will possibly quit the game. PvP makes for around 40% of the CCU on all of Minecraft Multiplayer. Attribute swapping is one of the most fundamental parts of PvP and PvP practice and is what separates boring, uninteresting Hit 2 Hit combat, and what makes the game actually interesting.
    If this -Bug, Feature or Change- isn't reverted, either no-one is going to switch to 26.2, or no-one will play the game anymore. This is a crude repeat of the 1.9 update, where people today still play 1.8 pvp, and most minigame / popular servers still use 1.8 as base.

    If they patch out instant attribute swapping, 26.2 is going to be the next 1.9

    this affects every type of pvp possible, it’s not the same as changing 1.8.9 pvp, there’s are now so many more types of pvp and all of them are affected. nobody wants this patch at all, keep attribute swapping

    As A Member Of The Community Many Players Do Not Want This Change. I mean it will make thousands upon thousands of people leave the game and possibly quit. Plus it will effect many pvp communitys and servers!!!

    I definitely agree. We should all keep Attribute swapping since If they were to “patch” This PVP Servers would most likely need to use mods to re-add them back or we need to stay on versions like 26.1 or even lower to prevent this change. So please do not remove this, since this does not only effect mace but other pvp gamemodes.

    We need all the big pvpers to support the cause as they will get more people on board and mojang may listen.

    Realmente es necesario el atributo swapping incluso para reaccionar rápido en muchos aspectos pero sin esto prácticamente todo se volveria más tardío

    So true. Mojang is just taking the best, absolute best parts of the game out. Even a few years ago, they removed no item clutching. Like come on, that would have been extremely useful in specific situations! Mojang even tried to make blast and fire prot worse in previous updates! MOJANG, REVERT THIS CHANGE OR WE ARE PLAYING ON 26.1.2 FOREVER!

    Guys, just saying, it won't affect stun slamming since you aren't attribute swapping with the axe to your mace because you are still clicking twice. But I am just saying. Everyone WILL be playing in 26.1.2 and below. Attribute swapping is part of the pvp chain. Without it, it collapses. We will no longer be able to do: Spear dashing, breach swapping, and so much more. Every youtube shorts creator on minecraft is probably so angry with mojang right now.

    Don't you guys think we should push this to be a feature next? While they temporarily added it, they left an ominous note that they'll fix it in later times. I think we should demonstrate that we want this as an in-game mechanic
