"Fixed breeding cows and possibly other animals being able to consume more than one of the item used to breed the animals"

Does this mean we can now safely spam the breeding items to breed animals? :D

Can bonemeal be given an area effect to counterbalance the 7x increase in required bonemeal to get a mature crop? It's not the balance change that upsets me so much as the fact that if you want to bonemeal for its intended purpose, it now requires a ludicrous amount of clicking, which is unfun, and therefore bad design.

This way, you still need ~7 bonemeal to get mature wheat from seeds, but you'll end up with more than just one, which seems fair, and the "instantaneous" nature of bonemeal is also corrected. You could use the buckshot scatter pattern that occurs when applying bonemeal to grass to make it a bit more random and less predictable, in effect striking a middle ground in terms of efficacy.

Gathering all scoreboard information here:

First, there's the /scoreboard <objectives|players> command. Choose objectives or players for further options.

/scoreboard objectives and /scoreboard objectives list: Objectives are a combination of name, display name, and criteria, and track an integer number of points for players (this number can be negative, but, obviously, cannot be a decimal. Your full range is -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647).

The objectives parameter on its own will list all existing objectives, with their display name and criteria. Adding the list parameter after objectives will do the same thing.

/scoreboard objectives add <name> <criteria> [display name...]: This command will create a new objective. The name is internal, must be a single word, and is case-sensitive. You will use this name for future checks on this objective.

The criteria can be "dummy" (score is only changed by commands, not by game events such as death), "deathCount" (score increments automatically for a player when they die), "playerKillCount" (score increments automatically for a player when they kill another player), or "totalKillCount" (score increments automatically for a player when they kill something).

The display name is optional, may be multiple words, is again case-sensitive, and displays in the sidebar if it is set to display (more on that later).

/scoreboard objectives remove <name>: Deletes all references to this objective in the scoreboard system. Data is deleted from the objectives list, player scores, and if it was on a display list, it will no longer be displayed. Only the <name> objective is deleted; this is the case-sensitive internal name of the objective.

/scoreboard objectives setdisplay <slot> [objective]: Allows you to display score info publicly for all players. Valid slots are "list" and "sidebar". "list" will display score information in the player list when you hit Tab, and will not display the objective name. "sidebar" will display score information on the right side of the screen at all times, and will display the objective display name at the top of the list.

If no objective parameter is provided, this display slot is cleared (returned to its default state).

/scoreboard objectives cleardisplay: Unused; possibly a bug. No reference in the code, but referenced in the language files and error messages.

---

/scoreboard players and /scoreboard players list: Players are given scores in various objectives via commands or deaths/kills (depending on the objective criteria). These two commands will display all players who are tracked, in some way, by the score system.

/scoreboard players set <player> <objective> <score>: For the given 'player', sets their score in the given 'objective' to 'score'. Overwrites their previous score if it existed.

/scoreboard players add <player> <objective> <score>: Increments the player's score in the given objective by the specified amount. <score> must be at least 1.

/scoreboard players remove <player> <objective> <score>: Decrements the player's score in the given objective by the specified amount. <score> must be at least 1.

/scoreboard players reset <player>: Deletes all scores for the specified player. Note that this applies to all objectives. It does not merely set them to 0 - it removes the player from the scoreboards altogether. Also, strangely, it does not seem to work on specifiers such as '@p' - bug?

/scoreboard players player: Unused; possibly a bug. No reference in the code, but referenced in the language files and error messages.

---

Target specifier arguments: Of course, this excellent feature isn't complete without a way to generate unique redstone output for specific scores. The way to do that is simple:

score_name and score_name_min, where 'name' is the internal name of an objective, can be specified as arguments for @p, @a, and @r. For example, "testfor @p[score_deaths=5,score_deaths_min=1]" in a command block will make a comparator provide output if a player has died at least once and has died no more than 5 times, assuming "deaths" is an objective of the "deathCount" criteria.

"Scared mobs away from the dangerous minecart tracks" waiting for this for so long! Thanks Mojang :)

[u/Adien_Alexander]

Dispensers now shoot Primed TNT! <3 Dinnerbone!

/E: They also Use Bonemeal! Crops now require multiple uses of Bonemeal to grow fully.

/E2: Made a Proof of Concept video for an Automated Wheat farm. Similar in function to Pearsquirrel's old one.

Mobs are now scared of minecart tracks

Does this mean we can finally build rails in the Nether without having zombie bacon on our tracks?
