Combat Test 7c is the seventh experimental version of a future combat revision.[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.

Two private testing versions of Combat Test 7c were developed: Combat Test 7 and Combat Test 7b, given to testers on August 12 and August 13, 2020, respectively.

Axes
  • Made weapon enchantments available to axes if they are applied from a book in an anvil.

  • Removed bow inaccuracy for holding too long.
