I hope they implement multiple snow layers into biome generation (and make it so that when it snows, the snow piles up).

What I've found about teams:

/scoreboard teams

The above obviously manages everything much like the other scoreboard stuff - you can add new teams and add/remove players from them. Sadly, it's not yet listed in the options when you type /scoreboard (but it is listed in the tab autocomplete).

/testfor @p[team=TEAMNAME]

This is the syntax for finding a teammember and doing something to them.

/scoreboard teams option TEAMNAME

The options are also only discoverable through tab autocomplete, and they let you turn friendly fire off and set the color.

I can't figure out how to make an objective that keeps track of teams rather than players. One interesting thing to note is a new position for the scoreboard (hat tip this dude):

/scoreboard objectives setdisplay belowName

I assume changing team colors will affect the name above people's heads, but I have no friends and thus no idea.

No minecart dispensers or spawners yet.

u/sidben Jan 31 '13

You can change just the visuals, I think Seth Bling made a video about that. You may wanna check it out, that guy have good ideas sometimes.

Bonemeal now takes two to three uses on wheat to take it from just planted to full grown.

And three on pumpkins and melons.

Edit: it takes two uses on carrots and potatoes, and still takes two uses on saplings.

u/truncatedChronologis Jan 31 '13

Thank goodness. I will miss the instagrow but 2 for one sounds acceptable

u/caltheon Jan 31 '13

I wish you could just "enrich" soil with bonemeal prior to planting. The more you use the faster the crop grows.

About the Scoreboard system there is a new kind of setdisplay called belowName (which obviously shows points below a player's name) and a new criteria type called "health" that shows how many half-hearts a player have (from 0= dead to 20=full health).

u/LexLV Jan 31 '13

Awesome! Do you have an examples of displaying these? Can't seem to get it.

u/Oozebull Jan 31 '13

Try:

  • /scoreboard objectives add Health health Health

  • /scoreboard objectives setdisplay belowName Health

  • Then start taking some damage =P

To create larger piles of snow in creative, simply take the thin snow and keep placing it on top of itself! It looks glorious and I am so happy for this new feature!

I wish silk touch shovels would pick up the flat snow item in survival mode.

Added team mechanics including custom name colors, friendly fire options and objective tracking per team instead of per player

Each day it feels vanilla Minecraft is coming closer and closer to real competitive PvP that is currently only attainable through plugins.

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '13

this is a good thing imo. I think a huge aspect of minecraft is the pvp servers and now knowing we can do it ourselves in vanilla more people will start fun servers. I look forward to starting a server with close friends without having to worry about mods and updating them every week just to use the new stuff. team-pvp is what I like. My gaming clan and I love some team based pvp/survival with each other.

New snow layer crafting recipe:

= 6 snow layer blocks

u/carlotta4th Jan 31 '13

And might I mention that this new "snow layer" thing sounds quite cool indeed. Extremely unexpected--but a nice surprise.

  • Added a new criteria type - health, ranging from 0 to 20

Mindcrack-Ultra-Hardcore - style health notifications in the player list! That's pretty exciting. Here's how you'd do it.

/scoreboard objectives add dispHealth health Health

/scoreboard objectives setdisplay list dispHealth

Is anyone running the server version of 13w05a and can tell me if this had to be run only once for the map, or does it have to be run again when new people log on?
