Java Edition 1.14.3 - Combat Test is a preview snapshot of the second combat update.[1]
It is not available on the launcher without manual installation as it is not listed on the version manifest. When installed manually, its version appears as "1_14_combat-212796", but the launcher recognizes it as "1.14_combat-212796".
Its version json is not available as a plain json file, but as a zip file at https://launcher.mojang.com/experiments/combat/610f5c9874ba8926d5ae1bcce647e5f0e6e7c889/1_14_combat-212796.zip which contains the version json named 1_14_combat-212796.json in the 1_14_combat-212796 folder.
