Combat Test 4 is the fourth experimental version of a future combat revision.[1] Although it is a version for a future revision, this combat experiment is a fork of 1.15 Pre-release 3. This version was released only on Reddit, so it does not appear in the launcher or in any Minecraft.net blog post. This is the final combat test released in 2019.
