* In ''Java Edition'', the [[Minecraft:attack cooldown]] mechanic is present where attacking before the meter is full results in less damage, and attacking before 84.8% prevents [[Minecraft:critical hit]]s and [[Minecraft:sprint-knockback attack]]s. Weapons have differing attack speeds which affect how long their attack cooldowns are, with axes having higher attack damage than swords but with lower attack speeds. Switching items also causes the attack cooldown to trigger. ''Bedrock Edition'' features no attack cooldown.

Template:WIP

File:Combatlogo.png
Steve and Alex engaging in combat.

Combat represents the act of fighting Minecraft:mobs and other Minecraft:players.

Mechanics

Combat system

The combat system is different between Template:JE and Template:BE, and is one of the biggest differences between the two editions.

Differences between Java and Bedrock

File:Melee attack.gif
The attack cooldown triggering from attacking in Template:JE.
File:Saturation boost.gif
Saturation boost triggering from reaching full hunger in Template:JE.
Attack cooldown
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
The Minecraft:attack cooldown exists, where attacking before the meter is full results in less damage, and attacking before 84.8% prevents Minecraft:critical hits and Minecraft:sprint-knockback attacks. Switching items also causes the attack cooldown to trigger. The attack cooldown does not exist.
Weapons have differing attack speeds which affect how long their attack cooldowns are, with axes having higher attack damages than swords but with lower attack speeds. Axes have lower attack damages than swords due to the absence of the attack cooldown.
Spear jab attacks have a version of the attack cooldown where attacking is not possible until reaching 100% charge. Spear jab attacks have a Minecraft:use cooldown instead of an attack cooldown, mimicking the forced cooldown behavior.
Offhand functionality
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Any block or item can be placed in the offhand. This allows things with right click functions to be used while in the offhand, such as Minecraft:blocks, Minecraft:food, Minecraft:shields, Minecraft:bows, Minecraft:tridents, Minecraft:crossbows, or Minecraft:spears. Offhand functionality is limited only to shields, arrows, firework rockets<ref group="note">For the purpose of loading them into a crossbow.</ref>, totems of undying, maps, and nautilus shells.<ref group="note">For the purpose of being held by drowned</ref>
Saturation boost
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Minecraft:Saturation boost exists, which heals Template:Hp by consuming Template:Hunger saturation when at full hunger, and activates every 0.5 seconds (10 ticks). Saturation boost does not exist, which drastically slows the rate of health regeneration and makes Minecraft:saturation only relevant for lessening the frequency of needing to eat.
Critical hits and sprint-knockback attacks
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Minecraft:Critical hits and Minecraft:sprint-knockback attacks cannot be performed simultaniously, as the sprint-knockback attack takes priority. Critical hits and sprint-knockback attacks can be performed simultaniously.
Airborne vertical knockback
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Entities that are already in the air do not take additional vertical knockback when attacked. Entities that are already in the air are knocked further into the air when attacked.
Item attack damage values
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
The attack damage of weapons and tools displayed in the tooltip is their actual value. The barehand damage of Template:Hp is added to the damage of the weapon used, causing all weapons and tools aside from Minecraft:tridents and Minecraft:maces to deal Template:Hp more damage than in Java Edition.<ref group="note">Tridents and maces are an exception because their base damage is 1 lower than in Java Edition, which causes the added 1 base damage to make their total equal to JavaTemplate:'s.</ref>
Sweep attack
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Minecraft:Sweep attacks exist, where if a sword-wielding player is grounded, is not performing a Minecraft:sprint-knockback attack, and has an attack cooldown charge of 84.8% or greater, they perform a sweep. Sweep attacks hit surrounding entities for Template:Hp and knock them back. Sweep attacks do not exist.
The Minecraft:Sweeping Edge enchantment increases sweep attack damage to surrounding mobs from Template:Hp to 50% of the base damage at level 1, 67% at level 2, and 75% at level 3. The Sweeping Edge enchantment does not exist.
Shield functionality
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Minecraft:Shields are activated using right click, preventing their use if the player is holding an item in the mainhand that has right click functionality, such as a Minecraft:spear, Minecraft:trident, Minecraft:bow, Minecraft:crossbow, or Minecraft:food. Shields are activated by Minecraft:sneaking, allowing for them to be used even while holding an item in the mainhand that has right click functionality.
Shields do not deal knockback to attackers. Shields deal knockback to attackers, even if the attack was from an axe which stunned the shield.
Shields can be activated at any time, even if an attack was just performed. Shields cannot be activated if an attack was recently performed.Template:Checkthecode
Shields are not lowered if the user attacks while shielding. Shields are lowered if the user attacks while shielding.
Crossbow behavior
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Crossbows do random damage between Template:Hp and Template:Hp. Crossbows always do a consistent Template:Hp.
Minecraft:Firework rockets explode on impact with blocks and entities. Firework rockets do not explode on impact with blocks or entities, instead sliding across the ground.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Continuing to hold Template:Control after firing a crossbow causes it to begin recharging again. Continuing to hold Template:Control after firing a crossbow does not cause it to begin recharging, as the input must be released and then inputed again.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Crossbows do not have a firing delay after becoming fully charged, and do not have a recharging delay after firing. Crossbows have a several tick delay after becominng fully charged where they cannot be fired, and a similar delay after firing where they cannot be recharged again, effectively giving them a lower fire rate than Java Edition.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Sharpness damage
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Minecraft:Sharpness increases damage by Template:Hp for the first level and by Template:Hp for each subsequent level. Sharpness adds Template:Hp damage per level rounded down, giving it increased effectiveness compared to Java Edition. This narrows the damage increase gap between Sharpness and its counterparts Smite and Bane of Arthropods, making the latter two less valuable in Bedrock Edition.
Impaling activation
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Minecraft:Impaling applies its damage increase against Minecraft:aquatic mobs. Impaling applies its damage increase against Minecraft:mobs and Minecraft:players in contact with Minecraft:water or Minecraft:rain.
Damage enchantments with critical hits
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Sharpness, Minecraft:Smite, Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods, and Minecraft:Impaling have their damage added after Minecraft:critical hits and Minecraft:Strength. Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods, and Impaling have their damage added before critical hits and Strength, giving them increased effectiveness compared to Java Edition when doing critical hits.
Projectile behavior
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
The movement of the player influences the flight of fired projectiles. Sprinting forward when firing an arrow from a Minecraft:bow or Minecraft:crossbow, or when throwing a throwable item like an Minecraft:ender pearl, causes it to fly further. Similarly, firing while falling causes projectiles to fly downwards more, and firing them while ascending gives them a further distance increase. Fired projectiles are unaffected by player movement.
Projectiles are launched the same tick that they are fired. Projectiles are launched several ticks after they are fired, causing a desync.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Durability
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
All items have the durability they are programmed with. All items have 1 more durability than they are programmed with.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Attacking invulnerable entities does not cause durability damage. Attacking invulnerable entities causes durability damage, causing high CPS to break items fast.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Spear behavior
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Switching to a Minecraft:spear causes the attack cooldown to trigger, preventing the spear's jab attack from being used until the cooldown is complete due to the spear's forced attack cooldown. Switching to a spear does not cause the use cooldown to trigger, allowing for a jab attack to be executed immediately upon switching to a spear.
A charge attack can be initiated instantly after doing a jab attack. There is a several tick delay after doing a jab attack where a charge attack cannot be initiated.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Charge attacks do not display critical hit particles when connecting. Charge attacks display critical hit particles when connecting, despite not actually being critical hits.
Melee attack sounds
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Doing a normal attack with sufficient attack cooldown (above 84.8%) plays the strong attack sound, and doing a normal attack without sufficient attack cooldown (below 84.8%) plays the weak attack sound. Missing a normal attack (attacking the air) plays no sound. Connecting a normal attack plays the strong attack sound, and missing a normal attack (attacking the air) plays the weak attack sound.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Doing a sprint-knockback attack plays a unique sound. Doing a sprint-knockback attack does not play a unique sound.
Smite and Bane of Arthropods damage
Java Edition Bedrock Edition

Snowballs and eggs against players
Java Edition Bedrock Edition

Spear hit registration
Java Edition Bedrock Edition
Spear hit registration requires significant distance between the user and the target, especially when using charge attacks at lower movement speeds.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Spear hit registration is much more lenient, allowing for repeated charge attack connections despite minimal distance and low movement speed.
