Additions[]

Command format[]

/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.
Gamerules
  • logAdminCommands
    • If set to false, will prevent all command blocks from outputting to the client console.
    • If used on a server, it will also not log player executed commands in the server's log.
  • Players will still see other players' executed commands in chat.

Changes[]

    • Example: /tp @p ~ ~ ~ ~20 ~40 teleports the player so that they face 20 degrees to the right and 40 degrees downwards.
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.
  • The radius value in selectors is now based on the block center.
    • A radius of 0 works for exact block positions.

Gameplay[]

    • Dimensions for the file are now 64x64.
