You create a vine-like whip covered in thorns that lashes out at your command toward a creature in range. Make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 Piercing damage, and if it is Large or smaller, you can pull it up to 10 feet closer to you.

Cantrip Upgrade. The damage increases by 1d6 when you reach levels 5 (2d6), 11 (3d6), and 17 (4d6).

Thorn Whip 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences

Both versions deal 1d6 piercing damage, increasing at levels 5, 11, and 17. The 2024 version clarifies "on a hit" and "you can pull" instead of "if the attack hits" and "you pull," but mechanically, damage and pull effects are unchanged. No significant mechanical differences.
