Combat Test 2 is the second 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 1.14.4. This version was released only on Reddit, so it does not appear in the launcher or in any Minecraft.net blog post.
Changes
Gameplay
- Attacking while crouching now disables the shield during the attack.
- Shield is reenabled after the weapon has reached 200% charge.
- Removed auto-attacking by holding the attack button.[note 2]
- Weapon reach is always active and increased by half a block during a special attack.
- The hotbar attack indicator now only appears after the attack is 100% recharged, showing the progress of reaching 200% charge instead.
Items
- Now protect against critical attacks again.
- Decreased the attack speed of all swords to 2.5.
- Increased damage to 8HP.
Fixes
From the previous development version
- Weapon cooldowns now no longer apply to players in Creative mode.
- Fixed scale of the hotbar attack indicator.
