Combat Test 6 is the sixth experimental version of a future combat revision. Although it is a development version for a future release, this combat experiment is a fork of 1.16.2 Pre-release 3. This version was released only on Reddit, so it does not appear in the launcher or in any Minecraft.net blog post.

Changes

Items

Axes

• Removed other weapon enchantments from the enchanting table.​

Bows

• Bow and arrow accuracy now slowly decreases the longer the player keeps the bow charged.
  • This is accompanied by a wobbling animation that gets progressively more intense.
• Arrows are now 100% accurate by default.​

Non-mob entities

Projectiles

• Player momentum is added to thrown projectiles, but only in the direction the player is aiming.

Gameplay

Combat

• Entities with bounding boxes smaller than 0.9 block (such as rabbits and bats, for example) now have them inflated to that value.
• Increased base reach from 2.5 to 3 blocks, and removed bonus reach for delayed attacks.
• Missing an attack now only puts a 4 game tick delay until the next attack, regardless of weapon.
• Removed "Coyote Time", which was introduced in the previous combat test.

Enchantments

• Renamed Chopping to Cleaving.
• Nerfed Sweeping Edge enchantment to 25/33/37.5% (was 50/66/75%).

HUD

• Removed the attack indicator completely, since it is no longer used by any systems.

Hunger

• Reverted eating speed to 32 ticks (1.6 seconds).
• Eating is now interrupted if something hits the player.
• The player now naturally heals every 40 game ticks (2 seconds) instead of every 60 game ticks (3 seconds).
• The player now takes damage from starvation every 40 game ticks (2 seconds) instead of every 60 game ticks (3 seconds) when the hunger bar is empty.
• Natural healing drains food points 50% slower.
• Reintroduced the rule that sprinting requires more than 6 points of food.

Shields

• Only protect up to 5 damage for melee attacks (still 100% against projectiles).
• Recover faster after an attack.

Weapons

• Swords always have sweeping attacks again, axes have it with the Sweeping Edge enchantment.

Fixes

From the previous development version.

• Fixed knockback calculation.
• Fixed damage value on items being off-by-one client-side.
• Fixed a bug that caused players to be unable to attack/interact after respawning.
