In the beta one major thing I noticed right away is in first person the hitting animation for the shield, bow, crossbow, and trident are slower and more dragged on. Please look into this. Thank you!

Now the hitting animation feels off in the first 1.17 beta, it goes sideways. Creating a separate issue for these: MCPE-125871

Can confirm for 1.16.221 on Windows 10
