This article is about the development version. For the full release of Combat Test 8, see Java Edition Combat Test 8b.
This page documents a version of the game that was initially only released privately.
This version was never intended to be released to the public, but it is available in archived copies.
This page covers a development version that has a critical issue under certain conditions.
The dedicated server for this version has a security vulnerability in the Log4j library that could be used to perform a remote code execution exploit. It can be addressed by appending a certain JVM argument to the server startup command line.[1]

Combat Test 8 is a development version for Combat Test 8b. Although it is a development version for a future release, this combat experiment is a fork of 1.16.2.
This version was privately released for testing and thus was not initially made available to the general public.
Changes
[edit | edit source]Items
[edit | edit source]- Instantaneous effects on tipped arrows are now scaled by 1⁄8, just like the duration of other effects.
- Returned bow fatigue for holding the bow pulled, but it doesn't start until 3 seconds. Bow fatigue also cancels out "critical arrows".
- Strength I/II now adds +20%/+40% (was +3/+6 damage).
- Instant Health potions now heal 3×2level (was 2×2level).
- Potions can now be drunk faster (20 ticks, was 32 ticks).
Gameplay
[edit | edit source]- Returned eating interruption for getting hit (by players or mobs), also applies to drinking.
- Liquid food (stews, honey, milk) can now be consumed faster (20 ticks, was 32 or 40 ticks).
- Weapon enchantments are now included in the base damage when calculating critical hits and potion effects.
Build mechanics
- It is now possible to build in front of players' feet when looking down over a ledge.
Fixes
[edit | edit source]From the previous development versions
- Fixed shield protection arcs.
- Improved server-side attack range calculations.

Trivia
[edit | edit source]- Combat Test 8 has the same protocol version as Combat Test 8b and Combat Test 8c, which means these versions are cross-compatible with each other.
- This is a rare time where 3 development versions have had the same protocol version excluding joke versions.
