Seecret Changes
Balancing tweaks!
Notable additions for mapmakers:
New command /particle to show particle effects in the world. It can also be relative to entities. Example: /particle lava ~ ~1 ~ 1 1 1 0.5 2 @e[type=Chicken]
Added the ability to filter block types in the /fill command, but only if it’s used to fill in replace mode with “normal” blocks. It does not work when filling with block entities. Syntax: /fill replace [filterBlockName] [filterData]
Fixed most of the remaining issues with the /clone command, for example chest orientation.
We have a new bug tracker website! Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com. If nobody reports a bug, we can’t fix it!
Between Monday, January 20, 07:00 CET (Stockholm time) and Wednesday, January 22, 07:00 CET (also Stockholm time), we’ll be migrating our skin and cape databases. During these days, uploading skins and changing/redeeming capes will not be possible. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Snapshot time! We’ve fixed a whole bunch of bugs introduced in last weeks snapshots, introduced a few new commands and tweaked a few things that needed tweaking.
Notable additions for mapmakers:
/tp now supports rotation arguments
Player selectors (@p, @e, etc) now support cubic areas. For 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
Added /clone command to copy large areas to other areas
Added a /fill command to fill a large area with a block
Update: A ‘b’ snapshot has been released to fix lots of crashes!
The first snapshot of Minecraft 1.8 has arrived! This update will be split into two primary focuses: Survival gameplay & improvements, and new fancy abilities for adventure maps! We’ve done a whole bunch of optimizing for both the client and server (with more to come!) and lots more work towards the Plugin API in the background. As this is the very first snapshot of 1.8, do remember to backup your worlds before trying it!
Big survival changes:
3 new stone types!
Major Enchanting & Repairing changes!
Mossy stone bricks recipe!
Updated Villager trading!
Doors stack!
Slime blocks!
Lots of other tweaks, changes, bug fixes and secret features!
Big Adventure Map changes:
Adventure Mode no longer lets you place/destroy blocks.
/clear のオプションに引数を追加。最大アイテムをカウントする。(0を使うと実際に何もアイテムを削除しない。)Added optional arguments to /clear for max item count (use 0 to not actually delete anything) & NBT data （勝手に注釈：/clear が NBT データにどういう風に作用するのかいまいち分からなかったので、一応原文残しておく。）
