[MC-304177] Items held in the off hand flail more intensively while charging with spears

The Bug:

Items held in the off hand flail more intensively while charging with spears.

In this context, it doesn’t make sense for off hand items to flail more intensively, since you move at the same speed when running normally and when running while charging a spear.

Steps to Reproduce:

Hold a spear in your main hand, and a diamond in your off hand.
Switch into third person, begin running in a straight line, and take note of how your off hand is flailing.
Now begin charging with the spear and notice how your off hand flailing is more intensive.

Observed Behavior:

Items held in the off hand flail more intensively while charging with spears.

Expected Behavior:

Items held in the off hand would flail the same amount as when you’re normally sprinting without charging with spears.

Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.

Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.
