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

Combat

  • 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.
