Command format

NBT format

  • New {CommandStats:} tag for command blocks and signs.
    • Allows a command block or sign to increase a certain score in the scoreboard when it runs successfully.
      • The command increases the score based on the number of items/blocks/entities/successes.
      • For example, a command block with this tag running a command which affects items (e.g. /give) causes it to update the score based on the number of items given.
    • Usage: {CommandStats:{AffectedItemsName:"playername", AffectedItemsObjective:"objective", AffectedBlocksName:"playername", AffectedBlocksObjective:"objective", AffectedEntitiesName:"playername", AffectedEntitiesObjective:"objective", SuccessCountName:"playername", SuccessCountObjective:"objective"}}.
