The wiki says fall velocity doesn't reset when entering a portal. The wiki could be wrong I guess

Can confirm

The wiki describes the current behavior, not necessarily the intended behavior.

Affects 1.20.5

Can confirm in 1.20.6

Isn't it because fall damage doesn't reset after entering portal?

I can also confirm this in 1.21 pre-2

As of 1.21 I can reproduce this with the exit portal too- it's not overworld-exclusive.

I don’t understand why is it a bug, you don’t lose momentum when you go through Nether portal either.
