Gameplay

 * Target selectors
 * Targets entities
 * Can specify type of entity by entity ID to either include or exclude with  or
 * Example: - kills all chickens within a radius of 50 blocks
 * Example: - any entity within a radius of 5 blocks will be teleported five blocks in the air
 * Commands
 * Modifies NBT data at a specific coordinate. The ,   or
 * will copy every block (the default behavior)
 * will only copy non-air blocks
 * will only remove unnecessary blocks
 * It can additionally be ,   or
 * will move the selection from the first location to the second location, which may overlap
 * will force the cloning operation, even if the areas overlap; to use this option, either ,   or   must be specified
 * Usage:
 * Example:
 * Allows commands to be run from the position of specified entities
 * A  argument allows the  command to run only if a block is detected at a specific location relative to the target
 * Usage:
 * {{cmd|execute    detect   ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,.
 * {{cmd|replaceitem| ...}}
 * Can replace items in any inventory, including the inventories of mobs such as zombies
 * Usage:
 * {{cmd|replaceitem entity  [amount] [data value]}}
 * {{cmd|replaceitem block    [amount] [data value]}}
 * Example:
 * {{cmd|1=replaceitem entity @e[type=Zombie] slot.weapon minecraft:iron_sword 1 0}} will give all the zombies iron swords
 * {{cmd|replaceitem entity @p slot.hotbar.0 minecraft:fish 4 2}} will put 4 clownfish in the players first hotbar slot
 * {{cmd|replaceitem block ~ ~1 ~ slot.container.5 minecraft:redstone_block 1 0}} will put a redstone block in the 6th slot of a container 1 block above the player
 * {{cmd|testforblocks}}
 * Compares two areas of a world
 * Example: {{cmd|testforblocks 100 64 100 107 69 107 0 64 0 masked}}
 * {{cmd|title}}
 * Can make text display on a players screen in the form of a title and/or subtitle
 * {{cmd|title @a times  }}
 * Set the fade in time, the stay on screen time and the fade out time for the title
 * {{cmd|title @a title }}
 * Set and start showing the title and subtitle
 * {{cmd|title @a subtitle }}
 * Set the subtitle (optional)
 * {{cmd|title @a clear}}
 * Clear titles immediately
 * {{cmd|title @a reset}}
 * Reset all title parameters to defaults (fade times)
 * {{cmd|trigger}}
 * Functions the same way as {{cmd|scoreboard players set}} or {{cmd|scoreboard players add}}, but can only modify objectives with the  criteria (referred to as "triggers") and can only modify the score of the player running the command
 * Can be used by non-operator players
 * For a player to run this command, the trigger must be enabled for that player
 * {{cmd|scoreboard players enable }} will enable the specified player to use the specified trigger objective
 * Trigger availability is stored per player, per trigger
 * One trigger may be disabled for a player, but that player can use a different trigger
 * One player may be unable to use a trigger, but another player can use the same trigger
 * Disabled after the trigger has been used (must be re-enabled to use the trigger again)
 * Mostly for use with {{cmd|tellraw}}
 * Usage: {{cmd|trigger  }}
 * {{cmd|worldborder}}
 * {{cmd|worldborder [set,add,center,damage,warning]}}
 * {{cmd|worldborder set  }}
 * Used to set size of border. The first argument sets the size of the border and the second sets the speed of the border to expand or shrink
 * {{cmd|worldborder add  <timeInSeconds>}}
 * Adds blocks to the current size of the world border. Can use negative (-) numbers to subtract the size of the border
 * {{cmd|worldborder center <x> <z>}}
 * Sets the center of where the border will be placed.
 * {{cmd|worldborder damage <buffer|amount>}}
 * Allows you to customise the amount of damage taken while outside the border, and buffer, the higher value, the further you can be outside the border without taking damage
 * {{cmd|worldborder warning <time|distance>}}
 * Allows you to customise how far you have to be or the time for how long it takes to activate the world border warning
 * NBT Tags
 * Mostly for use in adventure mode
 * Items with this tag display the names of the blocks that they can destroy in the item tooltip
 * Example: {{cmd|give @p minecraft:diamond_shovel 1 0 {CanDestroy:["minecraft:sand","minecraft:grass"]} }} to give a diamond shovel that can break grass and sand)
 * Putting an invalid item name in will display as "missingno" under the "Can Break" list.
 * Allows placing of certain blocks against other blocks in adventure mode
 * Example: {{cmd|give @p minecraft:stone 16 0 {CanPlaceOn:["minecraft:diamond_block"]} }}
 * Putting an invalid item name in will display as "missingno" under the "Can be placed on" list.
 * 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:
 * Allows hiding of certain parts of the tooltip
 * Bit field determining which parts of the tooltip to hide on an item. 1 for, 2 for  , 4 for  , 8 for  , 16 for  , and 32 for various other information (including potion effects,  , written book   and  ,  , and  ).
 * Examples: Setting bit field to 3 would hide both  and   tags, and setting to 63 would hide everything.
 * The number of ticks before an item entity can be picked up.
 * Set to 32767 for items that can't be picked up
 * Option to show or hide all particles for a potion effect, while the 'Ambient' tag only shows fewer particles. Set to 1 to show, 0 to hide.
 * A way to lock containers from being opened using NBT tags
 * Mostly useful for adventure maps in adventure mode
 * Containers can be unlocked by clearing their string for Lock
 * Locked containers can only be opened while holding anything renamed to the given string, item is not removed on use
 * The lock can be completely removed utilizing the command
 * BlockItem instances can now hold a custom NBT tag that is merged into a block entity when it’s placed
 * Example: {{cmd|give @p command_block 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Command:"{{cmd|setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:diamond_block}}" }} }}
 * Controls villagers giving xp for trading, set to true or false
 * Defines whether a written book is an "Original" a "Copy of Original" or a "Copy of a copy"
 * Gamerules
 * Prevents command block output from being stored in chat logs. In multiplayer, also prevents player-initiated commands from being stored. Unrelated to commandBlockOutput, which is output into the visible chat.
 * Prevents death messages like "[player] fell out the world" from appearing in the chat.
 * A new gamerule that controls how often a random tick occurs. Influences how fast plants and crops grow, how fast pigmen spawn from portals, how fast farmland updates, how fast grass and mycelium grow and decay and more.
 * If set to 0, random ticks never occur.
 * Statistics
 * Detects how many cm the player has moved while crouching
 * Detects how many cm the player has moved while sprinting
 * Detects how much time has passed (in ticks) since the player's last death
 * Scoreboards
 * The ability to reset objectives one by one
 * Example: {{cmd|scoreboard players reset [objective]}}
 * New objective criteria for team-specific kills, e.g.:
 * New objective criteria '
 * Acts like the  criteria
 * Mostly for use with {{cmd|tellraw}}
 * The ability to iterate over every scoreboard player with
 * Fake players with a name starting with # will never show up on the sidebar
 * New {{cmd|scoreboard}} subcommands: {{cmd|scoreboard operation}} and {{cmd|scoreboard test}}
 * The  subcommand can apply arithmetic operation to scores (+ – * / % < > =) and accumulate player scores
 * Example: {{cmd|1=scoreboard players operation #teamscores redScore += @a[team=red] blueKills}} adds every red player's count of kills on blue to the red team's score of kills
 * Can be tested with a comparator to see if two scores are greater than, smaller than or equal to each other
 * The  subcommand can be used to test if a scoreboard value is between a min and a max value
 * Example: {{cmd|scoreboard players test #global anObjective 12 19}} checks whether the global score of the given objective is between 12 and 19, inclusive
 * Different teams can now have different objectives displayed in the sidebar
 * Example: {{cmd|scoreboard|objectives setdisplay sidebar.team.yellow anotherObjective}} (referring to team color, not team name)
 * Teams can now have settings on how the nametags are to be shown - {{cmd|scoreboard teams option red nametagVisibility hideForOtherTeam}} Also possible: hideForOwnTeam, never, always (default)
 * Testing for scores now also works in  entity selector
 * Added scoreboard team property to disable death messages: {{cmd|scoreboard|teams option deathMessageVisibility}} with options,  ,  ,
 * Command {{cmd|scoreboard|players}} can now filter by NBT data
 * Spectator game mode

 * Collecting or using items is impossible, as is placing, destroying or interacting with blocks in any way
 * Viewing inventories and GUIs is possible, but it is not possible to interact with them
 * The HUD is disabled, except for the crosshairs when looking at a mob.
 * Player selectors (in commands) will target spectators
 * Using {{cmd|give}} on a spectator will cause the item(s) to drop at their location.
 * Spectators are not noticed by mobs, and do not trigger spawners or spawning
 * A spectator's presence keeps a mob from despawning
 * Only the Void and {{cmd|kill}} can damage a spectator
 * Flying mode
 * Landing is not possible—the player can fly through the ground
 * The mouse scroll wheel, the sprint key, and the slowness and swiftness effects all affect the flying speed
