Additions
Command format
/stats <entity|block> ...
- Usage:
/stats entity <selector> <mode>./stats block [x] [y] [z] <mode>.- Alternative and more featureful way of interacting with
CommandStats.- Updates a scoreboard objective based on the number of entities/blocks which has been affecting the command, it updates the objective for the entity that ran the command, fake players can be used when run in a command block.
- After the
modethere are currently 4 possible stats that can be updated:SuccessCount,AffectedBlocks,AffectedEntitiesandAffectedItems. - For example:
/stats entity @a set AffectedBlocks @a Testupdates a scoreboard objective named 'Test' for all players whenever a command is performed relative to them, the objective updates by the number of blocks affected by the command since the stat was set toAffectedBlocks.
Changes
Blocks
- Produce a signal for comparators to detect.
- Each slice is equivalent to 2 redstone signal strength, for a maximum of 14.
Sloped powered rails, activator rails and detector rails
- No longer decrease their hitbox height to be 2 pixels high when activated.
Gameplay
- Now accept named IDs as well as numerical IDs.
General
Block states
- Chunks now use block states instead of metadata.
Performance & rendering
- Improved performance with rendering.
- Many optimizations to both the server (including singleplayer) and the client.
- Can now customize network compression in
server.properties.
Video settings
- Added "Alternative Block" option to disable (or enable) weighted alternative block models.
- When turned off, the least complex highest priority model is always used for each block.
Mobs
- The chance of a killer bunny spawning was reduced from 1/1000 to 1/2500.
Removals
General
- When breaking a container such as a chest or furnace, the item entities are now dropped at the correct position.
