Knockback not as powerful for Bedrock users

[HippieBeak]

Describe the bug

When a Java and Bedrock players are hit with the same amount of knockback, the Java player will be thrown a lot farther back than the Bedrock player. This causes a lot of people to accuse Bedrock players of cheating/hacking, thinking that they have anti-knockback installed. Below is a video of the error. First, the Bedrock player is hit with some knockback, and they are thrown back about a block. We then hit the Java player with the same amount of knockback, and they get thrown much farther back.

To Reproduce

1. Hit a Bedrock player with some knockback, and record how far back they go.
2. Hit a Java player with the same amount of knockback, and record how far back they go.
3. The Bedrock and Java players will have drastically different results.

Expected behaviour

We expect that the Java and Bedrock players will be thrown back the same number of blocks with the same amount of knockback.

Fishing rod behavior might be part of the key to solving this. We manually send velocity for when a player is hooked off of a fishing rod - and it's always been off compared to Java Edition. Perhaps there's a difference in how velocity is computed between the two platforms that needs to be adjusted.

I don't think Bedrock and Java differ that much that you can clearly see the difference, is this still a problem tho? If this is explosion knockback then #5659 likely fixed already this I think?

Closing as fixed since the linked PR was merged
