Java Edition

Combat changes

The combat system is planned to be reworked in a future update, keeping the cooldown but allowing the player to attack only when fully charged. These changes are developed in parallel to other features and make it into the game "when they're good enough". The update in which they are included is also not a combat-themed update. The latest combat test, Combat Test 8c, was released in August 2020.
