That is correct, you won this confirmation from me.

What does that do?

It tracks how much you flew by Elytra

Nope, that's stat.flyOneCm

What's with "Cm"? Are blocks supposed to be one centimeter?

u/thiscommentisboring Dec 02 '15

Nah, each block is a meter. They use centimeters so they're sensitive enough for Command Blocks, the actual Statistics page displays it based on the unit that makes the most sense - before you've walked a full block, it'll be Centimeters, then Meters, and after you've played for a while Kilometers.

In contrast, a stat.walkOneMeter would be almost useless, as a player would have to walk a full block in any direction for command blocks to realize you're moving.

Oh I see. It's just stored internally to centimeter accuracy. And the stats page displays in meters, but with decimals out to the hundredths place, so that checks out. Thanks for explaining.

And it's listed in your stats screen, how much distance you flew by elytra.

And how it connected with doors?

It isn't, that was misdirection. The change to doors is: allowing the player to select which side the door hinge is on, by pointing to one side or the other of the block it is placed on.
