[Movement/1.8] Rubberband on hit (Game Version: 26.1.2)

[mrastro18]

General Information

When getting hit while on the 1.8 protocol in Hypixel, the client rubberbands back to a previous position instead of properly applying knockback causing a desync.

Environment:
Minecraft version: 26.1.2
ViaFabricPlus version: Latest
Anticheat: Watchdog + NCP Movement Checks (iirc)

Bug Description

When getting hit while on the 1.8 protocol in Hypixel, the client rubberbands back to a previous position instead of properly applying knockback, causing a desync.

Steps to Reproduce

Connect to Hypixel using the 1.8 protocol
Get hit by a player or mob
Watch the client snapping/rubberbanding back

Expected Behavior

Knockback is applied smoothly without losing sync to the server and causing the anticheat to be triggered.

Due to 1.21.9+ knockback precision update, it is not recommend to switch from 26.1 to 1.8. However, Hypixel allows 1.8 clients to play.

The knockback precision can be undone

It's not necessary for viafabric to do this. Hypixel allows 1.8 clients to connect.

This is ViaFabricPlus not ViaFabric

We should revert the precision changes if there are any left, I didn't see them in 1.21.9 and 1.21.11

@mrastro18 would be helpful if you could provide a video

btw you can directly join Hypixel with 26.1.2 client, because Hypixel can probably use 1.8+ features like the wind charges.
