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,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,.
 * Compares two areas of a world
 * Example:
 * Functions the same way as or, 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
 * 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
 * Syntax:
 * 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
 * Sets the center of where the border will be placed.
 * 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: to give a diamond shovel that can break grass and sand)
 * Allows placing of certain blocks against other blocks in adventure mode
 * Example:
 * 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:
 * 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

 * Acts like the  criteria
 * Mostly for use with
 * The ability to iterate over every scoreboard player with
 * Fake players with a name starting with # will never show up on the sidebar
 * New subcommands:  and
 * The  subcommand can apply arithmetic operation to scores (+ – * / %) and accumulate player scores
 * Example: adds every red player's count of kills on blue to the red team's score of kills
 * The  subcommand can be used to test if a scoreboard value is between a min and a max value
 * Example: 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: (referring to team color, not team name)
 * Teams can now have settings on how the nametags are to be shown - Also possible: hideForOwnTeam, never, always (default)

World Generation

 * Underground
 * Granite, andesite and diorite generate in pockets within stone terrain

 * Customized world type
 * Highly customisable terrain generation
 * To use, press create new world then ‘world type: customized’ and then press the 'customize' button
 * There are 4 pages to customize the world
 * Page 1: customizes generation of structures, chance of lake generation, size of certain structures, and biome type and size, and sea level
 * There are 17 customization options which affect whether generated structures will spawn in, as well as other environmental factors. Some of these presets are Yes/No inputs or sliders.
 * Sea level height, toggles for cave, village, temple, dungeon, water lake, lava lake, stronghold, mineshaft and ravine generation, sliders to control water lake, lava lake and dungeon rarity, toggle to turn oceans into lava oceans, biome selection, biome and river size sliders
 * Page 2: customizes the ore distribution for dirt, gravel, granite, diorite, andesite, coal, iron, gold, redstone, diamond and lapis
 * Rarity, height range and vein size
 * Page 3 & 4: Expert customization of the terrain generation
 * There are 16 customization options which can be used to affect various aspects of Minecraft's terrain generator. These can be changed by moving sliders or by typing in values directly
 * Main Noise Scale X/Y/Z to smooth out terrain, larger values for smoother terrain; Biome scale/depth weight and Biome scale/depth offset to stretch/squash terrain vertically based on the biomes default height settings; Upper/lower limit scale to make terrain more solid/riddled with holes, depending on how close the values are to each other; Height Stretch to pull terrain upward, with smaller values causing more extreme stretching; Height scale, coordiange scale, depth base size, depth noise exponent, depth noise scale
 * There are seven presets
 * Water World, Isle Land, Caver's Delight, Mountain Madness, Drought, Caves of Chaos, Good Luck
 * A button to randomize the various values

 * Currently missing LC value
 * Block IDs
 * Occurences of blocks/items now need to be named ids; old ids slowly being phased out
 * NBT data in commands can now use block/item names in place of numerical ids
 * Example:
 * In scoreboards, the format is
 * Superflat presets also use the new named id format
 * Internal block handling
 * Now internally use states instead of metadata
 * Metadata will still be used for a while
 * Block states of the block being looked at will now be displayed on the F3 menu - Examples: redstone, door
