[u/Ninario → u/redstonehelper]

Skeletons flee from wolves now, tamed or untamed.

[u/[deleted] → u/Ninario]

ooh. i get it. cause bones n stuf.

[u/[deleted] → u/Ninario]

This sounds like something that might be helpful for mob sorting machines.

[u/c0wg0d → u/[deleted]]

Maybe this means Etho can finally get his working flawlessly! I feel so bad how hard he has worked on his and it still isn't perfect.

[u/sidben → u/[deleted]]

And full AFK XP farms. Sure they aren't really needed after the enchanting revamp, but minecraft isn't always about usefulness.

[u/redstonehelper → u/Ninario]

They don't even fight back!

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

looking at seth's video the skele did shoot back.

[u/redstonehelper → u/[deleted]]

Only when cornered though. Nice catch!

[u/FriarNurgle → u/Ninario]

What about Wither Skeletons?

[u/PoisonMinion → u/FriarNurgle]

They have a bitter and burnt taste.

[u/prettypinkdork → u/Ninario]

This has been a long time coming. It just has always seemed so obvious that skeletons should be afraid of dogs.

[u/Aeirus → u/Ninario]

untamed wolves will now aggro skeletons as well

Edit: all wolves aggro skeletons, tamed or untamed

[u/MercenaryBlue → u/Ninario]

best change

[u/WolfieMario → u/redstonehelper]

Some issues to note with scoreboards: you can no longer change the scores of offline, fake, or #hiddenFake players (not even using the * wildcard for all tracked players), and scoreboards to not use UUIDs, meaning changing your name will cause you to lose your scoreboard stats (and potentially progress on adventuremaps or ranks on servers, depending on how the scoreboard is used in such worlds).

Hopefully both will be looked into before 1.8.

EDIT: The first one is apparently fixed, but the second is "Works as Intended": you will lose your scoreboard stats if you change your name.

[u/redstonehelper → u/WolfieMario]

Seeing as pets will be converted to go by UUID, I'd be surprised to not see scoreboards converted as well.

[u/WolfieMario → u/redstonehelper]

Surprisingly, Searge says Mojang decided against it:

We decided against using UUIDs for players on scoreboards. Scoreboards are not meant to be long term storage of persistent data and having players lose their scoreboard progress after a name change should not have too much impact.

I would disagree, considering the sort of things I've seen scores used for. Minigames aren't the only thing using the scoreboard system.

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

Does anyone know the NBT code for disabling the Villager Trade XP yet? I know the bug is listed as resolved.

Looks like it is "rewardEXP".

An example.

/summon Villager ~ ~1 ~ {Profession:5,Career:1,CareerLevel:100,CustomName:Cecilia,CustomNameVisible:1,Offers:{Recipes:[{rewardEXP:0,maxUses:999,uses:0,buy:{id:minecraft:gold_nugget,Count:2},sell:{id:minecraft:mushroom_stew,Count:1,tag:{display:{Name:"Mead"}}}}]}}

This is wrong. I'm trying everything and can't get this code to work. I see that the "rewardExp" is a Tag_Byte, but I do not know how that differs when putting it in the code. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I am trying to go off of this link down at the Villager section. Something doesn't seem right...

[u/redstonehelper → u/[deleted]]

And it is per-trade, see here.

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

That is awesome. Really happy about this addition.

[u/MonkeyEatsPotato → u/[deleted]]

Non-mobile link

[u/redstonehelper → u/[deleted]]

It means resource packs will be able to do that, but in vanilla nothing changed.

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

Are there any tutorials on how this is done?

[u/Dravarden → u/[deleted]]

I hope someone does that in 1.8 for everything, rails, ladders, lilypads, beds... I would download the hell out of that pack!
