When a player has levitation 255 and is hovering in the air, and then throws a projectile (snowball, enderpearl, egg, thrown potion) the projectile shoots upwards into the air as if the PROJECTILE has levitation, not the player. The projectile returns to the ground after a minute, having shot so high up in the air.
Before this is dismissed as a duplicate of MC-10755 [Effects with amplifiers over 4 are not supported] or MC-98222 [Bows/Arrows do not work correctly with levitation levels 128-255], I would like to point out that I was able to throw snowballs with levitation 255 just fine in previous versions before 1.9 pre-4. Therefore I believe this is a bug, seeing as snowballs worked fine for me in the past while hovering with levitation 255 but now they act very strangely.

Amplefiers above 4 are not supported

I understand that, so my question is why was I able to throw snowballs while having levitation 255 normally before 1.9pre-4? Amplifiers above level 4 have not been supported for a long time, this I understand. But I was able to throw snowballs normally with levitation 255 quite recently. This bug with snowballs seems to be exclusively in 1.9 pre-4.

any bugs related to those amplefiers, no matter if it used to work right and now not, will not be fixed
Are you sure this is a bug? I noticed something like this when my framerate was 10 or 20. I believe the cause of this may be extreme lag. Perhaps it is a bug. Sorry if you feel I have disrespected you in any way.
