The new Wind Burst enchantment triggers from normal ordinary attacks, rather than only smash attacks. This means that you can get a vertical boost directly from the ground, which allows you to easily 1-shot full protection 4 netherite armor players from the ground using Density V + Breach IV + Wind Burst III without even needing any strength potions.
An easy fix to this would be to make triggering the wind burst enchantment either require a smash attack, or require a critical hit.

Intentional. Quoth the snapshot page:
"Maces enchanted with Wind Burst will emit a Wind Burst upon hitting an enemy, launching the attacker upward and enabling the linking of smash attacks one after the other."
There's nothing specifiying it has to be a smash attack. Also, I don't want this enchant to be nerfed (Edit: in this specific way). I recognise how OP fully enchanted maces are but I'd rather see Density or Breach get nerfed, and/or for this enchant to be made mutually exclusive with one or both of the others.
@batbrain55 Fixing this Wind Burst behavior in this way is a buff, currently having wind burst is a detriment for ordinary PvP because it prevents you from being able to use it as a normal weapon, you HAVE to get shot up every time you connect a hit and it also launches your opponent away, making it impossible to do ordinary melee combos. It's essentially why we do not use knockback on swords in PvP.
