Java Edition Combat Test 5

Combat Test 5 is the fifth experimental version of a future combat revision. Although it is a version for a future revision, 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.

Items

 * Tools and Weapons

 * The base damage (attacking with the fist) is now instead of, to match Bedrock edition.

Gameplay

 * Attack

 * Hunger
 * Saturation boost removed.
 * Eating food is now slower: 40 ticks (2s), was 32 ticks (1.6s).
 * Natural healing works longer (down to 6 food points, used to be down to 18).
 * Natural healing is faster (every 3 seconds, was 4).

 * Knockback
 * Reintroduced upwards knockback when hitting players in the air (combos).
