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.

  • Saturation is not used when healing damage, and is only relevant to other actions that drain the hunger bar.

Knockback

• Reintroduced upwards knockback when hitting players in the air.
• Players now get knockback from hits that deal less than half a heart of damage, including no damage.
