      • Example: /kill @e[r=50,type=Chicken] - kills all chickens within a radius of 50 blocks
      • Example: /tp @e[r=5] ~ ~5 ~ - any entity within a radius of 5 blocks will be teleported five blocks in the air
    Commands
    • /blockdata
      • Modifies NBT data at a specific coordinate. The <dataTag> merges with the block at that position

        • masked will only copy non-air blocks
        • filtered will only remove unnecessary blocks
      • It can additionally be move , force or normal
        • move will move the selection from the first location to the second location, which may overlap
        • force will force the cloning operation, even if the areas overlap; to use this option, either replace , masked or filtered must be specified
        • normal
      • Usage: /clone <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <x> <y> <z> [mode]

    • /fill
      • Fills a given volume with a specified block
      • Up to 4096 blocks can be filled
      • oldBlockHandling works like with /setblock, but with additional options: hollow to only fill the outer layer of blocks and fill the inner part with air, outline to fill the outer layer of blocks and ignore the inner part
      • Works similarly to /setblock
      • Usage: /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <TileName> [dataValue] [oldBlockHandling] <dataTag>
      • Example: /fill 1001 3 1002 1011 5 992 wool 6 replace

        • Example: /tellraw @a {text:"CLICK",insertion:"This is a test"}
      • Can now insert values from scoreboards into messages

    • New radius value usable in target selectors, based on the block center
      • A radius of 0 works for exact block positions

  9. where you find some of this? never heard of those mobs/some of those items and cant find info about it anywhere lol
  10. Mostly from MC Wiki. You can play the newest snapshot and see them.

  11. Snapshots are now on Wednesdays!!

  12. O_O Wut. *Heads to wiki*
  13. is all this just for emc or is it for the single player also?
  14. Just for single player :) It's like, a sneak peek at 1.8. EMC will wait until 1.8 is stable though, so maybe it will be a few months until we update.
    MHeller2017 likes this.
  15. As much as EMC would like to update right away, it's not possible. Mojang will release the single player version and the small network server. In order for EMC to run the new version, we have to allow time for it to be translated into the plugin capable massive multiplayer server. This is done by a group that maintains what's called Bukkit. Bukkit is the software that allows EMC to customize our servers. Things like town and residence permissions, locked chests, horse ownership, cross server xp, vault, custom mobs, chat channels, groups, server switching, rupees and all shops and purchasing and lots of other things are not possible inside the small network server.

    Bukkit doesn't translate the snapshots, only releases, so none of the new features is available until 1.8 is actually released. The time it takes for Bukkit to do the translation is mostly beyond our control, but we will be ready. In the past, EMC, compared to other servers, has made updates early and often. We are determined to get the new features working as quickly as possible and clean up any bugs (there are always bugs)
  16. Minecraft needs more survival stuff. Past few updates has been adventure (new command block commands etc.)
    I honestly i find adventure maps boring. I like playing survival but there's really no point of exploring, it's just the same stuff over and over. We need special boss like dungeon that have the rarity of strongholds, abandond buildings etc. It will auctually make some of us explore abit more, like when the new biomes came out i bet we were all looking for them to find their secrets.
    In the end, be honest how many of you go there to kill the dragon? I personally think the end needs more than one end island, with more than one dragon (500-1000 blocks apart).
    I don't know how many of you know the ather mod or whatever it called, that in minecraft would be epic! New building blocks for builders like me and many, many others, hours of endless exploration!
    Overall, I am happy with 1.8 with the new ocean temple, stone blocks etc, 1.7 was great, new biomes etc, but I think Minecraft needs a new survival update.
    I love the enchanting, new mob AI (running away from exploding creepers), and villager trading, but there's one thing a hate about this update, crafting cracked and mossy stonebricks. This basically takes more of the exploration out of the game, in most of my singleplayer worlds when I'm building a enchantment room or brewing station, i go and gather the mossy and cracked bricks, now you have to craft them? God help jeb.

  17. You can still go find them. You don't have to craft them. :)
  18. Here's a sneak peak. Man, these rabbits jump around a lot!
