Combat Test 8c is the ninth experimental version of a future combat revision which changes the mechanics of shields.[1] Although it is a development version for a future release, this combat experiment is a fork of 1.16.2. This version was released only on Reddit, so it does not appear in the launcher or in any Minecraft.net blog post.

Trivia
- Combat Test 8c has the same protocol version as Combat Test 8b, which means these versions are cross-compatible with each other.
- This is also the first time 2 development versions have had the same protocol version excluding joke versions. The last one was on September 15, 2017, with 1.12.2-pre1 and 1.12.2-pre2.
Notes
