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)
