 * Specific Commands


 * Removed in favor of entity selectors.
 * Removed in favor of entity selectors.


 * Removed in favor of.
 * Removed in favor of.


 * The syntax of has changed.
 * {{cmd|clear [ ] [ ] [ (but doesn't change position).
 * {{cmd|execute at }} executes a command using the position, rotation, and dimension of the   (but doesn't change entity).
 * {{cmd|execute positioned }} executes a command using the position of.
 * {{cmd|execute positioned as }} executes a command using the position (x y z) of the   but nothing else.
 * {{cmd|execute align }} executes a command after aligning the current position to the block grid (rounding down),   is any combination of     and   (for example: , ,  and  ).
 * Examples:
 * using  will become
 * using  will become
 * {{cmd|execute facing }} executes a command as though the executor is facing.
 * {{cmd|execute facing entity (eyes{{!}}feet) }} executes a command as though the executor is facing the entity's eyes or feet.
 * {{cmd|execute rotated as }} executes a command as though the executor is rotated in the direction of the entity.
 * {{cmd|execute rotated }} will run the command as though the executor is rotated in the specified direction.
 * {{cmd|execute in (overworld{{!}}the_end{{!}}the_nether) }} executes a command as though the executor is in the specified dimension.
 * {{cmd|execute anchored (feet{{!}}eyes) }} will make the rest of this command use feet or eyes for ^ ^ ^ coordinates or facing commands.
 * Conditional sub-commands can let you prevent the command from running at all:
 * {{cmd|execute (if{{!}}unless) block  }} executes a command if (or unless)   matches.
 * {{cmd|execute (if{{!}}unless) blocks  (all{{!}}masked) }} executes a command if (or unless) the region between   and   matches.
 * {{cmd|execute (if{{!}}unless) entity }} executes a command if (or unless)   exists (returns 1 or more entities).
 * {{cmd|execute (if{{!}}unless) score  ( < {{!}} <= {{!}} = {{!}} >= {{!}} > ) 's score relates to  's score based on the chosen criterium.
 * {{cmd|execute (if{{!}}unless) score matches  }} executes a command if (or unless)  's score is in the   (ie ,  ).
 * As replacement for {{cmd|stats}}, a new sub-command  lets you store the result or success of a command somewhere:
 * is the result of a command, which replaces these old stats:,  ,  ,.
 * is how many times the command was successful. This is usually  or , but if the command split up (for example  ) then it may be more than  . This replaces.
 * The value will be stored when the full command has finished executing.
 * If a command isn't successful ( is  ),   will always be set to.
 * It will be made clear what the expected result of each command is.
 * {{cmd|execute store (result{{!}}success) score  }}
 * The value is stored into the scoreboard under  and.
 * The  must exist, but unlike with {{cmd|stats}} you don't need to set an initial value for.
 * {{cmd|execute store (result{{!}}success) block (byte{{!}}double{{!}}float{{!}}int{{!}}long{{!}}short)  }}
 * The value is stored in the nbt data at  of the block at   as a byte, double, float, int, long, or short.
 * {{cmd|execute store (result{{!}}success) entity (byte{{!}}double{{!}}float{{!}}int{{!}}long{{!}}short)  }}
 * The value is stored in the nbt data at  of one   entity as a byte, double, float, int, long, or short.
 * Like, {{cmd|execute store}} can't modify player nbt. Nbt inside the  key of items in the player's   or   is an exception and can be modified by {{cmd|execute store}}.
 * {{cmd|execute store (result{{!}}success) bossbar  (value{{!}}max) }}
 * The value is stored in the  or   setting of the boss bar with ID.
 * Data paths look like this:.
 * means foo's child called bar.
 * means element 0 of bar.
 * "quoted strings" may be used if a name of a key needs to be escaped.
 * Examples:
 * {{cmd|execute store success score @a foo run say hi}}
 * {{cmd|execute as @e[type=pig] at @s store success entity @s Saddle byte 1 if entity @p[distance=..5] }}
 * You can chain all sub-commands together.
 * After every sub-command you need to write another sub-command.
 * When you're done with chaining sub-commands,  lets you write the actual command to be executed.
 * is no longer allowed before the command.
 * {{cmd|execute as somebody at somebody run say hi}}
 * Example of old commands:
 * {{cmd|execute @e ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~ ~ stone 0 say Stone!}} is now {{cmd|execute as @e at @s if block ~ ~ ~ stone run say Stone!}}
 * {{cmd|execute @e ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~ ~ grass 0 summon pig}} is now {{cmd|execute at @e if block ~ ~ ~ grass_block run summon pig}}

 * Blocks
 * Wherever a, optionally   and optionally   was required, it's now a single   argument that looks like this:
