Command format

 * NBT tags
 * New  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 will increase 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. ) will cause it to update the score based on the number of items given.
 * Usage:.

World generation

 * Debug mode world type
 * Tweaked world creation.
 * Other world options are not available.

Gameplay

 * Changed the particle effect when landing on a block, looks a lot more scattered.

General
