"to and AND of ORs" -- what does that mean? — Nixinova (talk • edits • pages) 05:00, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * "an AND of ORs" is Conjunctive normal form. Meaning you describe your criteria something like this: I like candy that is: (blue or red or green) and (candy-coated) and (cheap or free)
 * The opposite of that (I guess the way criteria used to be) is "an OR of ANDs", which is Disjunctive normal form. An example might be: I like candy that is: (blue and chewy) or (red and crunchy) or (yellow). – Sealbudsman talk/contr 05:29, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Practically speaking, for instance, they used to have the kill_a_mob advancement follow the pattern (using the JSON brackets now): [ [zombie], [skeleton], [creeper] ], meaning, (zombie and nothing else required) or (skeleton and nothing else required) or (creeper and nothing else required).
 * Now, it follows the pattern: [ zombie, skeleton, creeper ], meaning, (zombie or skeleton or creeper) and nothing else required. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 12:06, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
