'''Combat Test 3''' is the third experimental version of a future combat update.<ref>{{reddit|dq2v7o||Updated Combat Test Snapshot (number 3) and a custom map for combat testing|jeb_|November 1, 2019}}</ref> Although it is a version for a future major release, this combat experiment is a [[Minecraft:wikipedia:Fork (software development)|fork]] of [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.14.4|1.14.4]]. This version was released only on {{w|Reddit}}, so it does not appear in the [[Minecraft:launcher]] or in any [[Minecraft:Minecraft.net]] blog post.

== Additions ==
{{Additions table|Enchanted Book[&7Cleaving I]
|Enchanted Book[&7Cleaving II]
|Enchanted Book[&7Cleaving III]
}}

=== Gameplay ===
'''[[Minecraft:Enchantment]]s'''
* Added the [[Minecraft:Cleaving]] enchantment for [[Minecraft:axe]]s.
** Adds 1 [[Minecraft:damage]] and {{convert|0.5|seconds|ticks}} of [[Minecraft:shield]] stunning per level.
** Maximum level is III.
** Mutually exclusive with [[Minecraft:Sharpness]].

'''[[Minecraft:Shield]]s'''
* Added a "Shield Indicator" option that displays when the shield is active, similar to the attack indicator.
** Found in video settings, the available options are "OFF", "Crosshair" or "Hotbar".
* Added an option to hide shields when active.
** Found in video settings and labeled "Shield Animation".

== Changes ==
=== Items ===
'''[[Minecraft:Axe]]s'''
* Now always disable [[Minecraft:shield]]s for {{convert|1.6|seconds|ticks}}, instead of having a 25% to disable them for {{convert|5|seconds|ticks}}.
* Now only use 1 [[Minecraft:durability]] when attacking instead of 2.

'''[[Minecraft:Sword]]s'''
* Changed attack speed from 2.5 back to 3.0.
* The {{ctrl|attack}} key can again be held down to automatically attack when the attack meter is full.
** Attacks now only happen when the sword is at 120% charge, slower than if attacks were timed.

=== Non-mob entities ===
'''Projectiles'''
* No longer trigger a [[Minecraft:mob]]'s invulnerability timer, which means that [[Minecraft:Multishot]] can hit and deal [[Minecraft:damage]] to the same mob with all three [[Minecraft:arrow]]s.

=== Gameplay ===
'''[[Minecraft:Knockback]]'''
* Knockback resistance is now on a scale instead of being random.

'''[[Minecraft:Shield]]s'''
* Arc of available protection has been decreased to 100 degrees instead of 180 degrees (i.e., attacks from outside this arc of 100&deg; aren't blocked).</onlyinclude>
