Talk:Java Edition 1.13

Semi-protection
Please semi-protect the page of 1.13 like other versions.-- 17:02, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Block states in /give etc.
I don't think the bug report was read correctly, near the top of the ticket it states "Other changes: Damage parameter should be removed from /replaceitem, /clear and /give." as well as "Damage tag should be moved to the tag tag {Damage:0}" -FVbico (talk) 14:28, 16 April 2017 (UTC + 1:00)
 * Indeed I may have read it incorrectly. You are closer to that bug report, please rewrite the article as you see fit. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 14:46, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Should it be moved to the Confirmed features? Dinnerbone now specifically mentioned the flattening in a reply if commands will auto update "They could, sometimes! But a lot of things aren't really autofixable, they'd need a human to decide stuff. Mostly about the flattening."

 * Looks like enough confirmation that the flattening is coming in 1.13 to me. What do you think is included with the term "flattening"? Is it just giving the variant/color/type blockstates their own block or does it also include all the other stuff regarding damage and removing block entities for flower pots etc? --Pepijn (talk) 12:04, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * All of those things you just mentioned are included with the flattening(I created the list on the bug report as grum was making the changes), splitting the blocks and as such damage values and flower pot block entity removal too as they are part of that split, nothing is said what will happen to maps or beds (block form) though, so that may be worth mentioning separately. To quote grum on the bug tracker: "Some things might change in the future but parts of the list is what I am working on indeed. So <3 [Mod] FVbico (Steven Verberne) for the effort involved with keeping it somewhat up2date with my random ramblings" -FVbico (talk) 14:51, 20 July 2017 (UTC + 1:00)

DataTag
How to understand "/scoreboard had [dataTag] removed from its commands, as they're no longer needed."? — RDmitriyS (talk) 18:43, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It's because of the selector argument nbt= being added; making the command argument unnecessarily -FVbico (talk) 22:22, 23 July 2017 (UTC + 1:00)

Command Syntax
A lot of information on this page comes from Dinnerbone's Reddit post about major changes in 1.13. In this post, DB uses a syntax for commands which is different from the command syntax of this wiki but DB's syntax is very very likely going to be used ingame for the new command UI. I made a topic on the Talk:Commands page about switching the entire Wiki to DB's syntax (and when to do it). Regardless of when we will update the entire wiki to this new syntax, I suggest we keep the new syntax on this page. The places where this syntax is used on this page are directly copied from DB's post, converting the syntax is extra work and just makes it inconsistent with its source. So please do NOT edit/revert edits regarding the syntax of commands back to the wiki syntax. Instead, post your opinion and reasoning here first. We don't want to start edit wars over the syntax. --Pepijn (talk) 20:58, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Link to 1.14
There used to be a small section on the planned versions page that said that 1.14 might include survival changes. It is now removed from the page, but there is still a link from 1.13 to the planned versions page, specifically the 1.14 section that no longer exists. Should the link be removed?

 * . Makes no sense to keep a link to a useless redirect. --Pepijn (talk) 13:26, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Texture changes
So it was finally confirmed that the texture changes were not going to happen in 1.13 (most people already had a feeling this wouldn't happen, but it was never confirmed by Mojang). I suggest we remove the information about the textures (text and images) from here since they have nothing to do with 1.13. by BDJP007301. --Pepijn (talk) 10:43, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
