When deflecting a ghast fireball using a mace enchanted with wind burst, the player is launched, which could be a nasty surprise for unsuspecting players. To reproduce, obtain a mace enchanted with wind burst, spawn in a ghast, then deflect its fireballs back using the mace in survival. Notice that you'll be launched in the air.

Can confirm. Here is a command for ease of reproducing the issue:
/give @p mace[minecraft:enchantments={levels:{"wind_burst":3}}]
The issue has already been confirmed, so it's not necessary to confirm it again, unless it's in a new unmarked version just fyi. 🙂
This no longer happens in 1.20.5 pre-release 1, even when deflecting a fireball while falling downwards for more than two blocks.
This relates to MC-269993, including the fact that you can hit large fireballs multiple times to get launched even higher just like with wind charges.
