All entities sliding down against a honey block, fall faster in versions 1.21.2+ than 1.21 and previous. Affects complex minecart builds, especially those that involve storage.
Affected entities:
Item
All minecart types
All boat types
TNT
How to reproduce:
In a world in 1.21.1, build a pillar of honey blocks.
Throw an item towards one of its edges and observe the speed at which it slides down.
Repeat the above steps in a world in 1.21.2+.
Expected result:
Non-living entities would slide down honey blocks with the same speed as in previous versions.
Observed result:
Non-living entities slide down honey blocks faster than in previous versions.

I think living entities (at least players) don't fall faster against honey blocks.
This issue should be non-living entities.
The way of velocity being calculated when sliding has changed since 1.21.2 with 2 new methods to implement the function, so this could have been done in purpose rather than a bug
It seems that when Mojang tried to fix MC-275537 , they added a factor to velocity calculation, affecting all entities. But the mentioned bug is actually caused by the change of ticking of living entities, so the solution wrongly affected non-living entities, resulting in this bug
