The Bug:
Breezes that are not moving cannot deflect non-arrow and non-trident projectiles.
The 24w03a article states that breezes can now deflect all projectiles, however, breezes that are not moving cannot deflect non-arrow and non-trident projectiles. Breezes can only deflect non-arrow and non-trident projectiles while moving.
Steps to Reproduce:
Summon a breeze and obtain some snowballs.
While the breeze isn't moving, throw some snowballs at it.
Observed Behavior:
Breezes that are not moving cannot deflect non-arrow and non-trident projectiles.
Expected Behavior:
Breezes that are moving or not moving would be able to deflect non-arrow and non-trident projectiles.

When the projectiles are reflected from the breeze, the projectiles will deflect in the opposite direction in Bedrock, but in Java they will always deflect downward

@unknown that is a different issue (MC-268563) so I'll be keeping this ticket resolved as Fixed. We know that breezes now deflect snowballs, experience bottles, eggs, and ender pearls in 24w07a because the "Breeze deflects" sound is now produced, which wasn't the case in 24w06a. The problem that you're experiencing is that snowballs, experience bottles, eggs, and ender pearls are destroyed when deflected by breezes which is being tracked at MC-268563.
Confirmed. This deflecting behavior of breezes doesn't seem to be working correctly, as it is extremely hard to get it working, so one would assume they just don't deflect them at all (aside from arrows/tridents). This is also supported by the fact that the "Breeze deflects" sound sometimes isn't played.
Most of the time, most projectiles just get destroyed instead of being deflected, such as:
Snowballs
Eggs
Ender pearls (you are teleported to the entity)
Small fireballs
Shulker bullets
Fishing rod's bobber gets "deflected" but not towards the direction of the shooter, the breeze just blocks it. Llama spits don't get deflected but instead go through the breeze without damaging it.
