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 major 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]

Changes
Items
- Sword enchantments can now be applied to axes with the help of a book in an anvil, but still not in an enchanting table.
- Now stack to 16.
Gameplay
Attacking
- Reintroduced the reach bonus for charged attacks ("200% attacks").[note 2]
- Reverted how the sweep attack works.[note 2]
- Now requires the enchantment and a charged attack.
- Reintroduced the attack indicator.
- Removed the reach bonus for charged attacks when the attacker is crouching.
- Reverted the bow inaccuracy mechanic.[note 3]
- Reverted eating being interrupted when the player takes damage.[note 4]
- Now activates instantaneously in all cases.
- Now fully blocks explosions.
Fixes
- Fixed netherite damage values as they previously still used 1.15 values.
- Fixed a speed bug when crouching with a shield.
Notes
- ↑ Unzip this file in the .minecraft/versions folder.
- ↑ a b Reason given by Jeb: "Feedback from PvP players was that it added a tactical layer and options when fighting. Since the charged attacks were reintroduced, I had to redesign how the "quick misses" work. A miss will not count as a charged attack - you need to wait for the full duration of the weapon's original delay. Because of code organization, the penalty for auto-attacking is now specifically 1 tick, instead of 20% of the current weapon's delay. Note: Base reach is still 3, it has not been reverted to 2.5 as in v5."
- ↑ Reason given by Jeb: "Every feature adds complexity and this didn't have enough payoff in either PvP or PvE. The feedback was also that the mechanic was inverted (accuracy should increase the longer you aim), but that way the game would get too slow".
- ↑ Reason given by Jeb: "I liked the interruption mechanic, but it was inconsistent. Particularly since honey bottles also are drinkable (with fairly high nutrition value)".
