Bring Back Arrow Killers

Arrow killers will now be broken with the change "Arrows of Harming no longer bounce off entities and are now correctly removed on hit." They are an important part of xp, ghast, fish, slime farms and a few more. Trident killers were kept in, so why not arrow killers too. Technical scene of bedrock already doesn't have a huge community or attention, so it would be a lot better for this to be reverted, there is just nothing else which is as good as arrow killers for these farms, for which people have put in a lot of time, and effort to design and conceptualize.

    Java's Bugs/Features are well known and exploited by the community and enjoy the protection of "We Will Never Break Your Farms".

    Mojang feels that breaking the farms of Bedrock players is fine and acceptable. Bedrock Players wish they would not do so. We feel abandoned and attacked with every "parity" change that inevitably takes from Bedrock because they can not give more to Java. 

    Java is not a perfect game that Bedrock should emulate, but Minecraft could become greater if the better change came to it instead of always diminishing 1 version of the game.

    Players who pay money for underpowered Realms from Microsoft really wish they would stop making things lag with their changes.

    Just like the crouching while opening chests feature. It might’ve not been intended, but it took so long to even mention it, that players had already built entire strategies around it. Being one of the most used mechanics in anarchy and Raiding servers. While on Java, many of the bugs like tnt, sand, carpet, etc dupers, are now called a feature because the players asked for it. It is ridiculous how you hear them but not us. For bedrock we can’t change version at will without major multiplayer issues. While java can play on their 1.12V worlds when they please with all the bugs from that version. Either all “advantaging Bugs” should be deleted from Java too, Or bedrock should be able to keep theirs.

    Remove TNT Duping, gravity block duping and tripwire duping from Java first then think about this.

    I understand that some people's xp farms have been broken, but as someone said, a bug is a bug and should be fixed. Isn't it only natural that such a farm that runs based on a bug is broken?

    Alright guys, it's time to stop spamming hate to Mojang. Look, we as bedrock players have been hit with stuff like this before and so has Java. We have made farms to fix farms but so have they. There are other ghast farms, there are other bonemeal farms, and there are other xp farms. Trident killers aren't going anywhere. This bug was honestly overpowered to begin with and should've been patched sooner. I am effected by this change to, I have some of these farms, but keep in mind once you as the player buy the game, you keep it and all updates. Stop focusing on the bad and start focusing on the good. Also we just got cushions, which I would take any day over arrow killers. Please re consider your messages and apologize if you could've went to far.

    Arrow killers are here to stay. Parity between versions has been a lie since eternity and 1.9 was enough proof that Mojang doesn't want parity. Keep it and we all live in peace. Remove it, and you'll have thousands of people mad. When is attribute swapping getting removed, huh? When will TNT dupers be patched for Java? Here's the solution. Don't "fix" anything. We're fine with this. Why not remove actually harmful bugs like mobs going invisible?

    Absolute L change. This completely offputs my excitement for cushions. Way to fail your community, Mojang.

    Nearly 2k votes and Mojang still doesn't care and is still going to remove this feature. If they're going to remove a lag friendly xp farm from Bedrock they need to work on performance and make Realms stronger. I'm losing half of my Realms members to Hytale because of this short sighted choice. I'm probably just going to cancel my Realms sub and stop buying addons now. Good job i guess? Thanks Mojang

    I specifically remember them saying a while ago "we won't do anything to break farms". Then they proceed to do something that ruins damn near every overworld farm.

    I've put in so much work in to my solo world to construct this farm and surrounding structure. Seeing as mechanics overall in bedrock is just worse then in Java, this mechanic changing might just make me abandon Bedrock for good. Please reconsider and don't change anything here.
