Today marks the day the New Nether Update came out and I decided to test if this bug still exists on my Switch. I enchanted different swords with Knockback II and it actually worked on both mobs and players! The enchanted sword pushes players back more than a normal sword. Although, can someone tell me if the power of Knockback II was reduced cause it feels like it does.
This bug has been affecting me for so long. If I use the enchant command or anvil enchanting, the knockback enchantment doesn't work on players. I've tested it on the Nintendo Switch* with different swords, worlds, and versions offline and online and it doesn't work. Other enchantments, like Sharpness and Fire Aspect, work on both mobs and players, but not knockback.
*On the Switch Home Menu, it states Minecraft is updated to Ver. 1.14.30.
This may just be complete chance and I may be the only one, but after updating both Minecraft (to 1.16.220) and my Switch (to 12.0.0), loading Minecraft has sped up to massively manageable times. Upon launching Minecraft at the home screen 5 separate times, Minecraft has never taken more than 35 seconds to load to the main menu. My Minecraft save data is over 1.6 gb (and I have Backup Save Data for Switch Online) and I have around 10 worlds with many packs. Minecraft previously used to take dozens of minutes to load for many months now, but the problem has seemingly been fixed for me (although I wouldn't be surprised if it came back).
