13w37a is the third snapshot for Java Edition 1.7.2, released on September 12, 2013,[1] which adds the /setblock and /testforblock commands and increases the command block length limit.
Additions
Command format
- Places blocks without the use of
FallingSand.- Syntax:
/setblock <x> <y> <z> <TileName> [dataValue] [oldBlockHandling] [dataTag]. - Valid values for
oldBlockHandling: "replace" places the specified block (throws error message if the same block exists already), "keep" only places blocks in air, and "destroy" mines the existing block and drops an item before placing the new block.
- Syntax:
- Check for blocks in specific locations.
- Syntax:
/testforblock <x> <y> <z> <TileName> [dataValue] [dataTag].
- Syntax:
- All blocks beyond X/Z 30 million (±30,000,000) from origin now act as solid blocks, and cannot be targeted with the crosshair.
- This includes air blocks, essentially creating an invisible wall which extends infinitely, even above and below the chunks.
- As all blocks function as solid, if the player is moved outside the boundary via external tools, they are unable to move outside the block space they are within.
- Despite the above, the camera can still move normally.
- This reveals that ghost chunks still generate, as the camera can pass through normally solid blocks beyond the boundary.
Changes
Blocks
- Increased the character limit to "many thousand characters".[2]
- Lava source blocks can no longer be destroyed by explosions.
- Removed the item forms of many blocks: bed (26), piston head and extension (34 & 36), redstone wire (55), wheat crops (59), standing and wall sign (63 & 68), wooden and iron door (64 & 71), lit redstone ore (74), unlit redstone torch (75), sugar cane (83), cake (92), unpowered and powered repeater (93 & 94), pumpkin and melon stem (104 & 105), nether wart (115), brewing stand (117), cauldron (118), lit redstone lamp (124), tripwire (132), flower pot (140), skull (144), and unpowered and powered comparator (149 & 150).
- They can no longer be obtained with
/give, but can be created with/setblock. - Because the game is still told to drop a lit redstone lamp when mining a lit lamp with Silk Touch, doing so results in a java.lang.NullPointerException crash as such an item no longer exists.
- This removal has been done by adding method
Sets.newHashSet(new Block[] {unobtainable blocks here}), and manual removal of blocks fromSets.newHashSetwould restore ItemBlocks of aforementioned blocks.
- They can no longer be obtained with
World generation
- Slightly changed mesa biome generation to appear more layered.
Gameplay
- Planned to have odd width to allow for design variations.
- Can be built large enough so that ghasts can enter the Overworld.
- Portals can now be activated from any block within the portal, not just the bottom (when any fire block appears inside the frame).
- New nether portal building rules: any size from 4×5 to 23×23, but rectangular.
Command format
/give
- Now prints renamed items' name in chat and show tooltips when hovered over.
Block/item IDs
- Can now be referred to with names instead of IDs.
General
- Improved the chat system.
- "Useful to map makers, modders, players and server admins".
- Added a way to do things when clicking things in chat, like executing a command.
- Other actions include opening a URL and showing an item tooltip when hovered on.
- "Saved screenshot as" messages can now be clicked to open the screenshot, takes players to the .minecraft folder.
- Names can now be clicked to PM people.
- Added
/tellraw <player> <raw json message>to send chat messages with custom functionality to players - sender does not appear.- Syntax example:
/tellraw @p {text:"Daytime? ",color:"green",extra:[{text:"Click here!",color:"blue",clickEvent:{action:"run_command",value:"/time set day"}},{text:" Nighttime? "},{text:"Click here!",color:"blue",clickEvent:{action:"run_command",value:"/time set night"}},{text:" Have fun!"}]}.
- Syntax example:
