Additions

• Commands
  • /stats <entity|block> ...
    • Usage:
      • /stats entity <selector> <mode>
      • /stats block [x] [y] [z] <mode>
    • Alternative and more featureful way of interacting with CommandStats
      • Will update a scoreboard objective based on the number of entities/blocks which has been affecting the command, it updates the objective for the entity that ran the command, fake players can be used when run in a command block
      • After the mode there are currently 4 possible stats that can be updated: SuccessCount, AffectedBlocks, AffectedEntities and AffectedItems
      • For example: /stats entity @a set AffectedBlocks @a Test will update a scoreboard objective named 'Test' for all players whenever a command is performed relative to them, the objective will update by the number of blocks affected by the command since the stat was set to AffectedBlocks

Changes

• Servers
  • Servers can now customize network compression in server.properties
• Enchantments & Effects
  • Enchantments and effects now accept named IDs as well as numerical IDs
• Video Settings
  • Added Alternative Block option to disable (or enable) weighted alternative block models
    • When turned off, the least complex highest priority model will always be used for each block
• Block States
  • Chunks now use block states instead of metadata
• Rendering
  • Improved performance with rendering
• Many optimizations to both the server (including singleplayer) and the client
• Cakes
  • Now have 7 slices instead of 6
  • Produce a signal for comparators to detect
    • Each slice is equivalent to 2 redstone signal strength, for a maximum of 14
