The Knockback enchantment is suffering from a severe knockback distance reduction in 1.16.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Get swords enchanted with Knockback I and II
2) Hit a mob/player
Expectation:
The mob/player gets knocked back by an additional (level*3) blocks.
Result:
The mob /player only gets knocked back by an additional (level) blocks.
Players don't get knocked back at all.

The behavior described on the original report here still occurs: since 1.16.0 the knockback enchantment adds 1 block per level instead of 3. I believe that was an intentional change in 1.16.0 with the fix to MCPE-56846. My understanding is that prior 1.16 you would (usually?) get 0 knockback without the enchant, then 3 with level 1 and 6 with level 2. Now you get 2, 3, 4. See my comment on MCPE-57085.
This report was updated later to add the claim about players not receiving any knockback. That issue should be reported separately, with a video if possible. I was not able to reproduce it (again see MCPE-57085).
Hi
Does this issue still occur after updating to 1.18.2?
This ticket will automatially reopen when you reply.
Knockback doesn't do anything to players in the recent update. Please fix this ASAP, it's a game breaking bug that would ruin all PVP worlds and may even cause irreversible damage.
