Combat Test 4 is the fourth experimental version of a future combat revison.[1] Although it is a version for a future revison, this combat experiment is a fork of 1.15 Pre-release 3. This version was released only on Reddit, so it does not appear in the launcher or in any Minecraft.net blog post.
Additions
Gameplay
- All sword enchantments can be applied to axes in the enchanting table; this includes enchantments looting, sweeping edge, knockback, and fire aspect.
