Note: This is a test snapshot, not to be confused with the 1.16.2 pre-releases!

After half a year of hiatus, here's version 6 of the combat test snapshots!

Again there are some radical changes, which means we're still not ready to move on to phase 2 of the tests (which means, fewer system changes and more focused on number balancing). If you have a keen eye you will notice that we are slowly progressing more and more towards something similar to 1.8, but recent twitter comments are saying v5 was great, so... I'm trying to find the sweet spot. Remember, squeaky wheel gets the oil!

Changes compared to previous test

Redesigned aim assist again. Different approach this time, NO LESS CONTROVERSIAL!

Removed "Coyote Time"
Entities with bounding boxes that are smaller than 0.9 of a block are inflated (for targeting purposes) to be 0.9 of a block (rabbits, bats, etc)
Swords always have sweeping...

Combat Test version 6

@Knezzo2 @CodingCookey @daniguz77 @NxMarko Let's try it first! Theorycrafting only gets you so far =)

@Knezzo2 @CodingCookey @daniguz77 @NxMarko Haha true, but I generally only see negative feedback, so I'm often in the blind regarding if something is appreciated or not. The impression I've got is that players don't like timing attacks

@NxMarko @CodingCookey @Knezzo2 @daniguz77 Yes, in v6 there are no systems remaining that still uses the 200%, so I've removed the attack indicator completely. Will bring it back if it improves PvP (in PvE it just added confusion)... Lets see

@CodingCookey @Knezzo2 @daniguz77 @NxMarko Oh great, thank you. That's very interesting... the snapshot already have a 1/4 block buffer, but maybe that's not enough then. I've fixed the knockback problem in the next test. What's your general impression of the test?

@Knezzo2 @daniguz77 Yep!

@Knezzo2 @daniguz77 FYI I found and fixed the bug. Thank you for the report!

@Knezzo2 @daniguz77 Btw, have you really been playing the combat snapshots "for a few months"? Do you have any video recordings? Would be very helpful to watch!

@Knezzo2 @Chunkycheese12 @SEpicsaurus Yeah that makes sense. I'm still in "phase 1", which means designing systems... "Phase 2" will be more focused on numbers and mobs

@Knezzo2 @daniguz77 Thanks, I'll see if there is a way for me to reproduce that

@Knezzo2 @daniguz77 HMMMM... Is still an issue in combat test 5? I know there was a bug in v4 and before, but I thought I had fixed it? Do you know how to reproduce?

@daniguz77 Yes a problem with these changes is that in order to really understand how it plays, you need to play a lot. Some scenarios don't appear until you're exploring a ravine on your fourth day... I need the community's help.

@Chunkycheese12 @SEpicsaurus Yes, mobs get a lot easier to fight, maybe even more so than 1.8/bedrock. So I agree with you on the issue, but not the solution ;) I think we should look into making "hard" difficulty more challenging/interesting

@wutong10086 @Pluginsel Yes I've removed it again... but just wait to see what replaced it! ;)

@Pluginsel ... And regarding the fishing rod, it made more sense to us that it would pull rather than push. We're kinda hoping snowballs can fill that gap, but I understand I'm asking for much

@Pluginsel Yes I understand. I'm not convinced it's possible to completely please the 1.8 crowd, so my focus is to make a system that isn't completely broken for PvP, for future generations

@Pluginsel If you have any good videos on the topic I'm happy to check. I left the discord because I got too many pings. I'm still reluctant to adding a right-mousebutton action for swords

@Pluginsel Yes, I'm working on it right now! Hopefully new test snapshot soon, but I'm not giving dates

@Daniel84407071 No, the Village & Pillage update is still relatively new
