[MC-276708] 1.21.1 Blast Protection Knockback

In previous versions of Minecraft, using multiple Blast Protection enchantments caused no stacking effect. In 1.21+ the enchantments stack and cause people to take absolutely no explosion knockback.

Steps to reproduce:

Enchant multiple Netherite gear with Blast Protection IV (e.g chest/leggings)
TNT or end crystal
Observe there is no knockback

While this may be expected behaviour it certainly does not feel so.

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.

The report you have submitted is working as intended: the 1.21-rc1 changelog mentions the following:

The changes to Burn Time reduction from Fire Protection and Knockback reduction from Blast Protection from pre-release 4 have been reverted
We have heard your feedback, and we expect to rebalance these two enchantments in the future to find a better place for them
Values are now the same as in 1.20.6
These effects still stack from wearing multiple pieces (changed from 1.20.6)

Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.
