Damage wobble no longer shows direction of incoming damage

This would be great to have back, yes!

Confirmed to latest snapshot (November 18).
This would really really be a good (re)addition to combat. Please fix it!
It's just syncing one more field back to the client.
Thanks

Did the direction dead mobs fall ever depend on the direction of incoming damage?

So sad to see "won't fix".

I know you don't have to do this, but do you have a reason for marking this "Won't Fix?" I'm more than familiar with some bugs just not being worth fixing, but when the problem and solution has been pinpointed by forge developers in the video here, I don't think it can fall in that category.

Please fix this! It would be immensely helpful! Why "wont fix"? Even if you won't fix it, just give a reason!

Why it can't be a toggleable option in Accessibility options ;-:

If you REALLY want it back, install this mod.

Look. I never knew that screen tilt was ever a thing so I never actually saw that as a bug, just a feature. I wouldn't actually think that this would be a bug in some way before I read about it and saw this video: https://youtu.be/pAJPc71YOnY

For PVP community this would be a good feature and without having to install mods in order to fix the bug, it would be great to have that in game. I think that servers that do not run modded version running this mod will still work the same, even if you have the mod installed, but I don't know if it actually works just by sending that piece of information to the client or it actually uses some clever math tricks to compute that kind of missing information in case that information is missing.

If the later is true, then using this mod may actually result in ban on some PVP competitive servers (Factions, UHC, Skywars, etc.) because this isn't just a visual effect like resource pack lowering fire and shortening swords (which is purely aesthetics to better see around you) which everybody can install and if someone doesn't have them - well that's their fault. This is actually real gameplay feature and it can give serious piece of information about whereabouts of other players attacking you. Kind of like minimap mod showing you whereabouts of other players in your proximity. There are players that for some reason cannot install mods, or don't want to. If you fix that bug and maybe add a little toggle option to turn it off (return back to the now classic left-tilt feature - actually bug), those who opt it out and turn it off won't be entitled to accuse players using that feature for cheating, because it will be vanilla game feature now. Of course, x-ray is something that doesn't exist in vanilla game, or at least nothing intentional. In previous versions, you could x-ray caves by putting your head into a glowstone or (in case of fast graphics) in leaves, though you wouldn't see unexposed ores anyway, just where the caves are, this is now considered bug (that has been fixed anyway) and many servers prohibit abusing bugs for your advantage.

However, screen tilting towards the inflicted damage is something that should be in game and as it turns out it has been before, it didn't work on servers though as the code for sending that bit of information to the client was missing. Seriously, how hard is to add I guess one little line of code to send that information to client amongst other ones?

@unknown, the ticket was already resolved as Won't Fix, thus we generally no longer add new affected versions to it.

@SPGoding I thought a mod mentioned in the Mojira subreddit this was internally marked for reassessment

internally being the key word here. This bug report remains resolved until Mojang decides to reopen it.
