End crystals are knocking people upwards even when the crystals are above their feet (which won't do much damage if you have the correct gear just like in the video below). It's as if these players are taking the same type of knockback as when a player hits them.
How to reproduce:
Put on some netherite armor.
Give yourself resistance level 255 or do anything else to stop yourself from dying like eating golden apples.
Get yourself in survival mode.
Place an obsidian in the same level as your feet, and spam place and break end crystals on that obsidian.
The bugged knockback will be a lot more severe if netherite armor is not worn due to the knockback resistance the armor gives.
Here's a video as a demonstration:

The knockback now seems to come from the player who breaks the end crystal. Instead of taking knockback from the source of the explosion itself, you take knockback from the direction of the player who broke the crystal. So using these yourself just knocks you around as if you are shooting yourself with a bow.
By the way, Resistance 255 is unnecessary, Resistance V gives you complete damage immunity so anything higher is pointless.
This has been a thing with TNT since at least 1.8, and I always considered it intended behavior.
IMO complete shame it got patched, breaks some cool machines I've been building for as long as I can remember
Nathan L yeah man let me make myself take more knockback so other people can pop my totems and kill me, great feature bro
