MC-274613Wind Burst knocks items and XP orbs away
Wind burst explosions can knock items and XP orbs away, which results in mob drops being launched extremely far away when using the mace. This behavior highly discourages players to use the mace to kill mobs as most drops will be lost.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Spawn a mob that drops something upon death
- Get a mace enchanted with Wind Burst III
- Use the mace smash attack to kill the mob
Observed Behavior:
Items and XP dropped by the mob are sometimes launched very far away.
Expected Behavior:
Items and XP dropped by the mob stay near where the mob died, allowing players to collect them.
Note:
This bug does not always happen. It can be reproduced more consistently by trying to hit as late as possible so the Wnd Burst happens closer to the ground, giving the drops more horizontal momentum.

Cannot reproduce. The item drops stay where the mob dies.
it may take some attempts to reproduce. as i said, using the smash attack on the latest possible tick is a more consistent way to reproduce. better way to reproduce is to have the mob one block above the ground you do your smash attack on instead of flat ground
I can reproduce the issue when hitting the mob just before hitting the ground, while it is one block higher.
I can reproduce it but only to a small extent. Like you mentioned above, hitting a mob just before hitting the ground can make the XP travel a bit however, the intended target never traveled (for me) more than just a few blocks away. Maybe 10 most. While doing this I also tried hitting a mob of zombies to try some new ways to reproduce this, I can say, wind burst does knockback multiple mobs at once and you could be seeing XP from other mobs dying from fall damage.
Overall, the bug seems to be less a bug but rather the game mechanic of this enchantment which can cause slight travel. Of course, any game is capable of glitching, but overall, trying to reproduce this bug does not appear to cause any harm/inconvenience to the player using the mace for it's intended purpose.
