14w28a is the thirty-fourth snapshot released for Java Edition 1.8.[1]

Additions[]

Command format[]

/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[]
