Jeb has put out another combat snapshot for you all to play with and give feedback.
You can find the original announcement here: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dq2v7o/updated_combat_test_snapshot_number_3_and_a/">https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dq2v7o/updated_combat_test_snapshot_number_3_and_a/</a>
<blockquote>
Changes made:
<ul class="_33MEMislY0GAlB78wL1_CR">
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Returned Sword speed to 3.0 (from 2.5)
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Re-introduced hold-to-attack, but attacks now happen at “120%” charge which is slightly slower than optimal spam clicking
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Knockback resistance is now a scale instead of a dice roll (less RNG)
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Axes now always disable shields for 1.6s, instead of a 25% chance to disable them for 5s (less RNG)
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Axes now only take 1 durability damage for attacking
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Axes now have a new “Chopping” enchantment that adds +1 damage and +.5s shield stun per level (max 3 levels)
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Projectiles no longer trigger the invulnerability timer, which means that a Multishot crossbow can hit (and deal damage) with all three arrows
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Shields protective arc has been decreased to ~100 degrees instead of 180 degrees
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Added a “Shield Indicator” option that displays when the shield is active (similar to the attack indicator)
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
Added an option to hide the shield when it’s active
</li>
</ul>
Additional notes:
The Chopping enchantment is experimental. You can still apply Sharpness to axes in the anvil, but Sharpness and Chopping are mutually exclusive. An option here is to change Chopping so that it only affects shields, and let axes get Sharpness from enchanting, but currently there are no mobs in the game that use shields so in that case Chopping would be meaningless in PvE.
 
The delay to auto-attacking will likely be removed when we add the system to Bedrock for controllers and touch. It may be a mouse-and-keyboard only limitation.
