True Knockback
is a type of that ignores all anti-knockback items. It's similar to, but applies to Knockback.

Sources:
 * Non-Dungeon bosses:
 * Ender Dragon's Fireball attacks
 * Revenant Horror and Sven Packmaster's anti-cheese attacks
 * Emerald Slimes
 * Bal's launch attack
 * Dungeon bosses:
 * Bonzo's Balloon barrage, as well as the attack in his Blood miniboss version
 * Necron's wither skull attack ignores all Knockback resistance
 * The Undead Warrior summoned by Scarf when it hits a Player with Warrior's Charge
 * The Professor's Guardians' attack in which it slams itself against the ground, pushing the player back in a force similar to the Revenant Horror and Sven Packmaster's anti-cheese attacks
 * Dungeon mobs:
 * Some of Thorn's minions deal true Knockback
 * Lost Adventurer's "Dragon's Breath" Ability
 * Withermancer's homing skull deals heavy true Knockback upon implosion
 * Defend Jerry's Workshop Magma Cubes' attacks
 * NOTE: Although some mobs, that attack extremely fast, such as Terracottas, are strong enough to cause lag and bypass Anti-Knockback. Turtle Shelmet will NOT prevent this sort of knockback.

True Knockback Resistance
These mounts give you True Knockback Resistance while riding, but removes the Immunity Ticks (10 ticks, around 0.5s), that can cause you to die easily. Unlike, True Knockback Resistant items also apply for regular Knockback sources.

Tips

 * The Enchantment is generally undesired as pushing enemies away often increases the time to kill them. In most cases, the default Knockback applied by weapons is considered sufficient.
