The Combat Tests are a series of snapshots released in 2019 and 2020 for Java Edition with changes related to combat.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]} Currently, nine snapshots, the latest being Combat Test 8c, have been released exclusively on Reddit, and are forks of what was the latest version of Java Edition at the time of their release. Changes and additions from the Combat Tests were stated to be intended to be added to the base game once the new combat system had been finalized.^[2]

It was stated in 2020 that development is planned to be done in two phases, with the currently released Combat Test versions being a part of phase 1. When phase 2 begins, the focus will shift from combat system changes to changes related to mob balance and difficulty.^[6][9][10]

The latest combat test, Combat Test 8c, was released in August 2020. As of 2025, no further updates or statements regarding phase 2 or the Combat Tests as a whole have been made.

Changes

Attacking

Attack cooldown

• Attacking is no longer possible until the attack cooldown has reached 100%.
  • In a case where a player attacks after 80% charge but before 100% charge, an attack will be buffered to come out at 100% charge.
• The attack cooldown can now further charge up to 200%, where attacks at 190% or greater charge are given an additional block of reach.
  • The damage of attacks remain the same as 100% charge.
  • 190% or greater charge is also now required for sweep attacks to activate.
• Holding down the attack key now attacks automatically 1 game tick (0.05 seconds) slower than optimal timing.
• The attack cooldown is now shorter when missing an attack, at 4 game ticks (0.2 seconds), regardless of weapon attack speed. When using hold-to-attack, the missing cooldown is 5 game ticks (0.25 seconds) instead.
• Weapons with attack cooldowns that are shorter than 10 game ticks (0.5 seconds) now give the target less attack invulnerability time (invincibility frames), to allow the weapon's faster attack speed to connect all of its attacks appropriately.
• The attack cooldown no longer resets when switching items, now only resetting when the player performs an attack.
• The first 100% charge of the attack cooldown no longer displays the attack indicator, and instead the attack indicator is used to indicate 130% to 200% charge.
• The swing animation that is displayed when attacking has been changed to emphasize the new rhythm of attacks.
  • The initial swing no longer moves the weapon downwards off the screen as much.
  • The swing now lingers out longer visually.
  • The slow rising-up animation of the weapon after swinging now begins at 120% charge, rather than immediately.

Attack reach

• The distance that players can attack from is now dependent on the attack reach of their weapon.
  • Swords have 3 attack reach, tridents and hoes have 3.5, and axes, pickaxes, and shovels have 2.5.
• The default unarmed attack reach of players is now 2.5, down from 3.
• Attack reach is increased by 1 when the attack cooldown percentage is at 190% or greater.
• Weapons now display their attack reach stat.
  • Weapons with an attack reach of 2.5 do not display their attack reach stat, such as axes.

Attack knockback

• Attacks dealt against entities that are already in the air now deal additional vertical knockback, rather than no vertical knockback.
  • This is similar to how knockback is handled in Bedrock Edition, and how it was handled before the Combat Update.

Critical hits and sprint-knockback attacks

• Can now be performed simultaneously, as it was in older versions and how it is in Bedrock Edition.

Sweep attacks

• Are now activated regardless of whether or not an entity is hit directly.
• Now require the Sweeping Edge enchantment to activate.
  • This also means sweep attacks can now be performed by any item with the Sweeping Edge enchantment, rather than only swords.
• Now require an attack cooldown charge of 190% or greater, up from 84.8%.

Healing

Hunger

• Saturation is no longer used to regenerate quickly, and is instead now only relevant as a "pause" to hunger loss after eating.
• Saturation is no longer accumulated by eating multiple instances of food. Instead, saturation is set to the eaten food's saturation value, as long as said saturation value exceeds the player's current saturation.^{[note 1]}
• Hunger no longer decreases along with saturation. Instead saturation is used first and after being completely used up, the hunger bar begins depleting as normal.

Natural regeneration

• Natural regeneration now uses hunger to heal every 40 game ticks (2 seconds) rather than every 80 game ticks (4 seconds).
• The consumption of hunger by natural regeneration is now 1:1, taking 1 () to heal 1HP. This ignores the player's current saturation value, making it so hunger bars can be lost even if food was just consumed.
  • The chance of 1 () being consumed when healing 1HP is random, at a 50% chance. This means that the amount of healing players can do during a fight is heavily influenced by the RNG of hunger loss when healing.
• Natural regeneration now continues until a hunger level of 7 () rather than the previous 18 ().

Eating

• Eating and drinking consumables is now interrupted and reset when getting attacked.
  • Note that this does not take affect when being damaged by all damage types, only when taking damage from mobs and other players.
• Liquids consumables (such as stews, honey bottles, milk buckets, and potions) are now consumed faster than other consumable types (20 ticks rather than the usual 32 ticks).

Shields

• Now only block up to 5HP of melee damage, down from 100% of melee damage.
  • Shields that have banners applied to them block up to 10HP of melee damage, however this is only a temporary change to test different shield types.^[8]
• Now only block 50% of knockback from player attacks, down from 100%.
  • The knockback resistance of a shield is now displayed as a stat.
    • Not implemented as an actual attribute modifier, as checking the knockback resistance attribute using /attribute while blocking shows no change to the attribute value.
• Now fail to block explosions if said explosion was caused by a player.
• Removed the 0.25 seconds (5 game ticks) activation delay.
• Can now be activated by crouching, with different mechanics than when activating by right clicking.
  • Crouch shielding prevents the user from doing 200% charge attacks, but allows the user to attack while shielding.
  • Crouch shielding cannot be used with shields in the mainhand, only in the offhand.
  • Crouch shielding can be enabled or disabled in the accessibility settings, and is enabled by default.
• The arc of shield protection has been decreased to 100 degrees, down from 180 degrees.
• Can now have their status indicated by a new "Shield Indicator" option that has a display similar to the attack indicator.^[3]
  • Displays when a shield is activated, and if it is currently disabled by an axe.
  • Found in video settings and is disabled by default.
  • Has the options "OFF," "Crosshair," or "Hotbar."
  • Overwrites the crosshair attack indicator.

Shield strength

• Represents the maximum amount of damage a shield can absorb and uses the translation key attribute.name.generic.shield_strength.^{[note 3]}
  • Default base: 5
    • Value is the maximum damage that a given shield can absorb.

Ranged weapons

Bows

• Arrow inaccuracy value has been lessened from 1 to 0.25, increasing accuracy and lessening randomness.
  • Due to fatigue being at 0.5 before dropping, this is practically 0.125 instead of 0.25.^{[note 4]}

• Now lose accuracy and lose critical charge if held drawn for longer than 3 seconds.
  • This is visually indicated by the bow beginning to shake more violently after 3 seconds.

Crossbows

• Arrow inaccuracy value has been lessened from 1 to 0.25, increasing accuracy and lessening randomness.

Projectiles

Arrows

• No longer trigger the attack invulnerability timer of players and mobs.
  • This also means that the Multishot enchantment can now deal damage to a single mob with all three arrows.
• Instantaneous effects on tipped arrows are now scaled by 1/8, just like the duration of other effects. For example, an arrow of Harming deals additional 0.75HP × 0.375 magical damage.

Eggs and snowballs

• No longer trigger the attack invulnerability timer of players and mobs.
• Can now deal knockback to players.
• Now have a cooldown of 4 ticks.
• Increased max stack size of snowballs to 64, was 16.

Enchantments

Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods, and Impaling

• Are now included in the base damage when calculating critical hits and potion effects, increasing their effectiveness.

Sweeping Edge

• Is now required to perform sweep attacks, rather than swords having the ability innately.
• Has had its damage increase reduced to 25% at level 1, 33% at level 2, and 37.5% at level 3, down from the previous 50% at level 1, 66% at level 2, and 75% at level 3.
• Can now be applied to axes.

Fire Aspect, Looting, and Knockback

• Can now be applied to axes.

Impaling

• Now also applies its damage increase to all mobs that are in water or rain.
  • Note that Impaling still also increases damage to aquatic mobs, unlike in Bedrock Edition. The damage increase does not apply twice when attacking mobs that are both aquatic and also in water or rain.

Loyalty

• Now returns tridents that fall into the void to their owner.

Potions

• Increased max stack size of drinkable potions to 16, was 1.
  • Splash and lingering potions are unchanged.

Status effects

Instant Health

• Now heals 6HP per level, up from 4HP.

Strength

• Now increases melee damage by 20% per level, was 3HP.

Weakness

• Now decreases melee damage by 20% per level, was 4HP.
• Attacks that deal 0HP due to Weakness no longer fail to deal knockback.

Planned changes

Mob rebalance

• After the changes to combat mechanics have been finalized, the second phase of the Combat Tests will focus on rebalances to mobs, as stated by Jeb.^[6]

Difficulty rebalance

• Also planned for phase 2 of the Combat Tests are changes to the game's difficulties. Jeb has stated that he will need to consult the team and create a philosophy around difficulty before going forward with any changes.^[6]

Hit registration

• Jeb plans to further improve Minecraft's server-side hit registration in future Combat Tests, as the current system struggles to keep up with the constant changes in attack reach, causing desyncs and ghost attacks.^[8]

Additions

Enchantments

Cleaving

• Increases attack damage by 2HP at level 1, 3HP at level 2, and 4HP at level 3.
• Increases the length of time that an axe stuns a shield by 0.5 seconds (10 game ticks) per level.
  • Exclusive to axes.^[3]
  • Has 3 levels.
  • Is mutually exclusive with Sharpness, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods.
  • Accessible from an enchanting table and from enchanted books.

Attributes

Attack reach

• Represents the attack reach of a player, and uses the ID generic.attack_reach.
  • Only used by players.
  • Default base: 2.5; minimum: 0.0; maximum: 6.0.
    • Value is the number of blocks away that a player can attack from.
  • Weapon modifier now modifies generic.attack_reach with operation 0 and UUID 26cb07a3-209d-4110-8e10-1010243614c8.
  • The attack reach attribute is visible only on items that do not have a value of 2.5.
    • This means that it only shows in the tooltips for swords, hoes, and tridents.

Hitboxes

• Entities with bounding boxes smaller than 0.9 blocks on their largest dimension (such as rabbits and vexes) now have their hitboxes inflated to reach 0.9 blocks in that dimension when being attacked.
  • This means that they still have their normal hitboxes ordinarily, but can be attacked outside of their hitbox within a range of 0.9 blocks.
  • For example, a vex whose dimensions are 0.4 x 0.8 will become 0.5 x 0.9 for the purposes of targeting. However, a bat (0.5 x 0.9) will not be inflated at all due to their largest dimension not being smaller than 0.9.
• Entities can now have their hitboxes attacked through certain transparent blocks like short grass or vines.
  • This also doesn't destroy the block that is attacked through.

Planned additions

New shield types

• Banner shields having higher damage absorption than normal shields is a temporary change, as stated by Jeb. The goal is to test the impact of different shield strengths, and make way for different kinds of shields. Is was not stated whether this meant tier-based shields, or unique shields not related to tiers.^[8]

History

Trivia

• Knockback resistance decreasing the knockback taken from attacks rather than giving a random chance to ignore all knockback was first added in the Combat Tests, and then added partially in 20w06a and fully in 22w03a.
• The promotional image for the Combat Tests features stone with a snow layer texture overlay on it, despite this being impossible in-game.
