Command format[]

/execute

Scoreboard
  • Scoreboard objectives for fake players with a name starting with # will never show up on the sidebar.

    • The operation subcommand can apply arithmetic operation to scores (+ – * / %) and accumulate player scores.
      • Example: /scoreboard players operation #teamscores redScore += @a[team=red] blueKills adds every red player's count of kills on blue to the red team's score of kills.
    • The test subcommand can be used to test if a scoreboard value is between a min and a max value.
      • Example: /scoreboard players test #global anObjective 12 19 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: /scoreboard objectives set display sidebar.team.yellow objectiveName (referring to team color, not team name).
  • Teams can now have settings on how the nametags are to be shown - /scoreboard teams option red nametagVisibility hideForOtherTeam. Also possible: hideForOwnTeam, never, always (default).
Target selectors
  • New selector parameters for entity selectors to detect entity rotations with rxm – x rot min, rx – x rot max, rym – y rot min, ry . y rot max.
    • Example: @a[rxm=-15,rx=15,rym=-45,ry=45], /say @a[rxm=30,rx=90] , don't look down!.

Changes[]

    • Plane rotation can only be -45/45 on a single axis.
    • From/to and uv coordinates are now in 'pixelspace' (multiples of 1/16th of a block).
Command blocks
