Additions General Splash "That's Numberwang!"
"Ryan also has amazing hair!" Difficulty Difficulty is per world
No more global difficulty option
Prevents accidentally changing the difficulty when joining the world
Can be locked for each world
Prevents the temptation to change to an easier difficulty in difficult situations
Locking can not be undone without external editors
However, using the /difficulty command will still work Gameplay Target selectors
@e
Targets entities
Can specify type of entity by entity ID to either include or exclude with [type=Chicken] or [type=!Skeleton]
Example: /kill @e[r=50,type=Chicken] - kills all chicken within a radius of 50 blocks
Example: /tp @e[r=5] ~ ~5 ~ (<x >|<destination>) - any entity within a radius of 5 blocks will be teleported five blocks in the air\ Commands /blockdata
Modifies NBT data at a specific coordinate. The <dataTag> merges with the block at that position
Can be used to change the contents of a chest
Usage: /blockdata <x> <y> <z> <dataTag> /clone
Clones all the blocks (not entities) from a given area to a different given area
Up to 4096 blocks can be copied
The clone can be masked or replace - replace will copy every block, masked will only copy non-air blocks
Usage: /clone <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <x> <y> <z> [mode]
Example: /clone 1001 3 1002 1011 3 992 1001 5 992 masked /fill
Fills a given volume with a specified block
Up to 4096 blocks can be filled
oldBlockHandling works like with /setblock, but with additional options: hollow to only fill the outer layer of blocks and fill the inner part with air, outline to fill the outer layer of blocks and ignore the inner part
Works similarly to /setblock
Usage: /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <TileName> [dataValue] [oldBlockHandling] <dataTag>
Example: /fill 1001 3 1002 1011 5 992 wool 6 replace
Can filter certain blocks
Only if it’s used to fill in replace mode with “normal” blocks.
It does not work when filling with block entities.
Syntax: /fill [x] [y] [z] [x] [y] [z] [BlockName] [Data] replace [filterBlockName] [filterData] /particle
Spawns particles in a given area
It can also be relative to entities.
Usage: /particle <name> <x> <y> <z> <xd> <yd> <zd> <speed> [count] [player:entity]
Example: /particle lava ~ ~1 ~ 1 1 1 0.5 2 @e[type=Chicken]

NBT Tags
{CanDestroy}[2] 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: /give @p minecraft:diamond_shovel 1 0 {CanDestroy:["minecraft:sand","minecraft:grass"]} to give a Diamond Shovel that can break grass and sand) {Lock:"Secret"}
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[3]
The lock can be completely removed utilizing the command /blockdata Gamerule
logAdminCommands
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. World Generation Underground

The crosshair will display 3 short colored lines to indicate the direction of each axis: x/red, y/green, z/blue Block IDs
NBT data in commands can now use block/item names in place of numerical ids
Old ids still work, but are being phased out slowly
Other occurences of blocks/items now need to be named ids Chat Improved chat communication
Messages are now either chat, system or action bar messages
Action bar messages are always shown, chat and system messages are only shown if chat settings are configured that way
Some instances of usernames in the chat will now show the player's UUID when hovered on when debug tooltips are enabled Performance
Overworld, Nether and End are stored differently, increasing performance Rendering
Only transparent blocks will now render as transparent (eliminates the use of x-ray texture packs) Gameplay Enchanting Enchanting will now cost 1 to 3 levels, but you still need the same minimum total levels
For example, an enchantment may only become available for enchanting after reaching 13 levels of experience, but will only cost 2 XP levels and 2 of a resource.
Additionally, there is now a material cost - Enchanting also costs 1 to 3 pieces of lapis lazuli now
The actual enchantment calculation is the same
One of the enchantments will be displayed in the tooltip
The enchantments you would get on a tool will not change until you enchant something - This enchantment seed is stored per player

Renaming items will now only cost 1 level
Repairing will costs from 2 to 5 levels and tools can be repaired longer and with better enchantments
Repairing costs can no longer be kept down by renaming items Adventure modeBlock hitboxes no longer appear in Adventure mode if interaction with the block is impossible
Block interaction is now impossible by default
The CanDestroy NBT tag can be used to determine which blocks can be allowed to be broken (see above for usage) Commands /say
Now lists all entity using @e.
Example: /say will list all the entity's in your world within a 500 block radius. /clear
Can now be used to clear only a specific number of items and can be restricted to certain NBT data
Example: /clear @p 383 120 34 {display:{Name:Michael}} will remove up to 34 villager spawn eggs named Michael from yourself /kill
Can now be followed by an @e entity parameter
Example: /kill @e[type=!Player] /testfor

A new tag called "insertion" allows text to be inserted into the chat that, when shift-clicked, will insert more text into the players' chat input
Example: /tellraw @a {text:"CLICK",insertion:"This is a test"} Target Selectors
Now supports cubic areas
Example: @e[x=0,y=0,z=0,dx=10,dy=10,dz=10] gets all entities between 0,0,0 and 10,10,10
New radius value usable in target selectors, based on the block centre
A radius of 0 works for exact block positions Teleporting
Relative teleporting is smoother and no longer brings players to a stop; it preserves their velocity from before the teleport Item tooltips
Now show the internal name for use in commands (F3+H mode) Village mechanics Doors are now added to the closest village
This will not break iron farms, but change them a little, enough to make them "practically pointless"[6] World Generation Underground
Villages Gravel roads in villages have cobblestone underneath, to prevent them from collapsing into caves Desert Temples Now spawn with Stained Clay rather than Wool Blocks and Items Chiseled Stone Bricks Moss Stone Mossy Stone Bricks Doors Stackable up to 64
The crafting recipe for doors now gives 3 doors instead of one Furnaces When a furnace runs out of fuel, the smelting progress will pause instead of resetting Carrots Restore 3 hunger points instead of 4 Baked Potatoes Restore 5 hunger points instead of 6 Mob heads Player heads now show the skin's hat layer Buttons Can now be placed on Ceiling and on the ground Redstone Comparators Can now detect what way an item frame is rotated Item Frames Items in item frames can now face eight different directions
As long as the frame remains placed, it remembers the orientation of the last item it held, and uses it for the next item it holds
Item frames can give off a signal detected by comparators , based on the direction the item is facing
Signal strength is as follows: 0: empty; 1: item; 2: item rotated once; 3: item rotated twice; ...; 8: item rotated 7 times Dispensers Can now place pumpkins or Wither Skeleton Skulls to spawn golems and withers respectively
Will only place them if the body of the golem or wither is already built Dead Bushes & Saplings Mobs Villagers When struck by lightning, villagers turn into witches
Villagers will now only breed when willing
The first time a specific trade is done, the villager will become willing, any other time there's a 1 in 5 chance the villager will become willing
When a baby villager is born, both parents lose their willingness
Villagers become willing to breed by consuming food: 3 bread or 12 potatoes or 12 carrots
Finding out a villager's willingness in survival is difficult: The only tell is the amount of xp they give when trading; Normal trading yields 3-6 experience points, trading and making a villager willing yields 8-11 experience points
Changes to villager AI
Villagers will now harvest, collect and replant grown potatoes, wheat and carrots
Villagers will craft wheat into bread
Villagers will share food with fellow villagers Baby animals (sheep, pig, cow, chicken, cat, dog, horse)
Baby animal growth can now slowly be accelerated using the animal's breeding item
It appears holding the right mouse button speeds up this process Iron Golems Are more reliable
Have much greater natural spawn rates in villages
Now attack the player as soon as he is attacking the golem in survival 1253 2367 2399 2789 3066 3583 5506 8662 9582 9787 10046 11207 14861 16457 17156 17624 18284 18984 24336 25370 29588 30135 30995 31203 32301 33071 36494 36847 37075 37355 38637 39228 40420 42174 42475 44881 45254
