Java Edition Combat Test 5

Combat Test 5 is the fifth experimental version of a future combat revision. Although it is a development version for a future release, this combat experiment is a fork of 1.15.2 Pre-release 2. This version was released on Reddit and Minecraft.net, but it does not appear in the launcher.

 * Lowered the attack damage of most tools and weapons, as shown in the following table:

Gameplay

 * Attacking

 * Changed food eating speed from 32 ticks to 40 ticks.
 * The player now naturally regenerates health when above a hunger level of instead of.
 * The player now naturally heals every 60 ticks instead of every 80 ticks.
 * Natural healing now always drains food points.
 * Saturation is not used when healing damage, and is only relevant as a "pause" until food drains.
 * The player can now sprint at any hunger value.


 * Knockback
 * Reintroduced upwards knockback when hitting players in the air (though Jeb has stated it may be too powerful right now, implying that it will receive a nerf in Java Edition Combat Test 6).

 * Thrown snowballs
