1.14.3 - Combat Test is the first experimental version of a future combat update.[1] Although it is a version for a future major release, this combat experiment is a fork of 1.14.3 Pre-Release 4. This version was released only on Reddit, so it does not appear in the launcher or in any Minecraft.net blog post. This is the first ever experimental snapshot released in 2019.

Changes

Gameplay

Combat

  • Players can now only attack when the weapon is fully charged.
  • Different weapons and items have different attack ranges, all separate from the block breaking reach.
  • The attack timer can be charged to 200%.
    • The attack timer reaches 200% after the recharging animation of the sword is fully complete.
    • A 200% charge is required for critical hits and the sweeping attack.
    • A 200% charge also deals higher knockback while sprinting.
  • Weapons with shorter cooldowns give victims shorter attack invulnerability times (invincibility frames).
  • The attack control can now be held down, attacking whenever the attack cooldown reaches 100%.
  • It is now possible to hit mobs through non-full-sized blocks such as grass.

HUD

  • Changed how the attack indicator works.
    • When on crosshair mode:
      • The meter only appears after the attack is 100% recharged, showing the progress of reaching 200% charge instead.
      • The "+" now only appears below the attack indicator when at 200% charge.
    • When on hotbar mode:
      • The meter only appears while charging the initial 100%.

Sweep attack

  • Performing a sweep attack now requires the Sweeping Edge enchantment.
  • Now requires the attack timer to be at 200%.
  • Is now performed regardless of whether an entity is hit.
