The momentum and motion of a entity will be reset when a player mounts it

If a player is mounts a boat when it is in motion, the boat will briefly stop in place and reset all it's momentum and motion, , and allow the player to mount the boat again.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Build a tall pillar going upwards (~20 or so blocks, not exact)

  2. Place a boat down on top of the pillar, and mount it

  3. Mount the boat and ride it off the pillar

  4. Quickly dismount the boat, and then immediately mount it again

Expected & Observed Results:

❌ → The boat will freeze in place, losing all it's downward momentum.
✔ → The boat woul continue to fall downwards regardless of whether the player has mounted or dismounted it.

This report requires an update. The issue extends beyond boat mounting; it resets momentum when initiating or ceasing control of any entity in any manner. For additional information, refer to MC-269105, marked as a duplicate of this report.
