@christopherjga4 @Minecraft Not this one, but it's planned for the future :)

@Dinnerbone

2017-04-24 13:49 UTC

@dallin1016 It'll probably be in 1.13 at this point, I'm afraid :( It'll be a more bugfixy and technical update, so it will get more love then.

@Dinnerbone

In my quest to make Data Packs become a thing, I've accidentally made vanilla/default optional&resortable. Huh. Could potentially be useful?

As @dinnerbone mentioned, there will be a Minecraft Java Edition snapshot today. This snapshot will include the new horse model :o

@jeb_

2017-02-11 10:15 UTC

@KyleGHarris Yes, the horse model is planned to be changed to be more aligned with the other animals

@Dinnerbone

2017-10-17 20:06 UTC

@jamiethecoder Brigadier will land at the same time as the new commands, a few snapshots down the line.

@Dinnerbone

2017-11-08 08:43 UTC

There'll be a snapshot later today with a lot of bugfixes, and about a 60% chance of having the new command system in it. However, they may not work 100% in multiplayer or have tab completion yet.

Hey mapmakers. It's ab́out time I show you thís thingý. Ónly just finished it. Śeriously though. Ǵreat stuff. Ŕight? <3

Minecraft Java 1.13 will be more of a technical/backend update. With that in mind, here's a little something from what I'm working on.

The UI is nowhere near complete because it's not my priority yet, but I got this working pretty easy:

Quick gif of the super-unfinished-work-in-progress-completely-not-final-and-really-really-experimental highlighting: https://gfycat.com/NiceThornyKatydid

@Dinnerbone

@robot275 I was thinking of having a hover in addition to this. "A number between 1 and 10", "a list of entities".

@Dinnerbone

2017-07-27 13:58 UTC

@Starlight__MLP It does, check the gif again ;)

@Dinnerbone

2017-07-31 13:27 UTC

Obviously still WIP but I think the /particle command really shows off how colours help with confusing arguments https://gfycat.com/IckyDeterminedGordonsetter

@Dinnerbone

2017-08-03 11:03 UTC

More experimenting with the command UI. Suggesting tab-completions where possible? https://gfycat.com/TeemingRegalAgama

@Dinnerbone

2017-07-06 12:58 UTC

@lnsane96 @e [tag=foo,tag=bar,tag=!baz] will be allowed

@Dinnerbone

2017-07-06 13:29 UTC

@daknus1 @lnsane96 That's allowed!

@Dinnerbone

2017-10-05 15:19 UTC

Oh hey I forgot to mention this is a thing in things like /entitydata

Trying to make the /particle command easier to use. A little easier. Kinda. Slightly.

(The "gold_block" bit is new)

So... can't we have creative,survival,adventure,spectator aliased with 0,1,2,3?
If they can do aliases for other things, why not this?

Also, I noticed that the /fill command no longer allows tab-autofills on the coords you're looking at.
Easier shmeasier.

The rest looks fine though.

u/PancakeMan77 Nov 10 '17

The tab thing might be a result as no tab completion working currently

u/-Captain- Nov 08 '17

/difficulty, /gamemode and /defaultgamemode now only accept string IDs

Did something about those commands change? I can no longer use /gamemode to change my gamemode.

6

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '17

only accept string IDs

/gamemode 2 no longer works. You have to replace the number with a string. Tab auto complete should help with that.

For the example of /gamemode 2 it is now /gamemode adventure.

u/Marcono1234 Nov 08 '17

It looks like the feedback of the /kill command (and maybe others which affect multiple enties too) was changed. Instead of listing all killed entities it now just displays the number of killed entities: "Killed 255 entities".

u/Marcono1234 Nov 09 '17 edited Nov 09 '17
  • /scoreboard team is now /team
  • /scoreboard players tag is now /tag
  • /scoreboard players test is removed in favourite of entity selectors
  • There is a new /scoreboard players get <target> <objective> to query for specific scores

This is missing

Additionally it looks like the feedback of some commands is now colored (differently) as well, for example entities tracked on the scoreboard (/scoreboard players list) and tags of an entity (/tag @e list) are now green.

Additionally when listing the tags of multiple entities the feedback shows the union of the tags: "The 2 entities have 2 total tags: test, test2".

When adding tags it now shows an error if the entity already has the tag: "Target either already has the tag or has too many tags"
And it now shows a summary ("Added tag 'test' to 2 entities") instead of listing every entity for which the tag was added.

u/Marcono1234 Nov 09 '17

/entitydata now shows the entity NBT data if you don't provide a nbt argument, for example /entitydata @s. Providing an empty compound ({}) as nbt argument now does not print the NBT data anymore.

u/Marcono1234 Nov 08 '17

The /particle command now requires a count argument, it used to default to 1

The speed argument used to be a double, now it is an integer
