Combat Test 3 is the third experimental version of a future combat update. Although it is a version for a future major release, this combat experiment is a fork of 1.14.4. This version was released only on Reddit, so it does not appear in the launcher or in any Minecraft.net blog post.

Additions

Gameplay

Enchantments

• Added the Chopping enchantment for axes.
  • Adds 1 damage and 0.5 seconds (10 game ticks) of shield stunning per level.
  • Maximum level is III.
  • Mutually exclusive with Sharpness.

Shields

• Added a "Shield Indicator" option that displays when the shield is active, similar to the attack indicator.
  • Found in video settings, the available options are "OFF", "Crosshair" or "Hotbar".
• Added an option to hide shields when active.
  • Found in video settings and labeled "Shield Animation".

Changes

Items

Axes

• Now always disable shields for 1.6 seconds (32 game ticks), instead of having a 25% to disable them for 5 seconds (100 game ticks).
• Now only use 1 durability when attacking instead of 2.

Swords

• Changed attack speed from 2.5 back to 3.0.
• The attack key can again be held down to automatically attack when the attack meter is full.
  • Attacks now only happen when the sword is at 120% charge, slower than if attacks were timed.

Non-mob entities

Projectiles

• No longer trigger a mob's invulnerability timer, which means that Multishot can hit and deal damage to the same mob with all three arrows.

Gameplay

Knockback

• Knockback resistance is now on a scale instead of being random.

Shields

• Arc of available protection has been decreased to 100 degrees instead of 180 degrees (i.e., attacks from outside this arc of 100° aren't blocked).
