slicedlime – Advanced Commands Tutorial – Command and Map Making Changes in Minecraft 1.11

Ladies and gentlemen Minecraft 1.7 is out and it brings a large amount of changes to how we do command blocking map making resource pack making and so on my name is sliced lime I’m here to guide you through these changes and tell you how to upgrade your command block

Systems to Minecraft one point eleven we’re gonna start with core system changes changes to the way command blocks are run then we’re gonna move on to new commands and command changes new entities and go through all of those changes to NBT data then move on to some

Game rule changes notable bug fixes and we’ll end off with some information about the surrounding files like resource packs and loot tables now the first thing that has changed is the keyless syntax of position selectors is gone it is no longer supported if you want to run a position based selector

You have to put in x equals y equals Z equals and R equals without this argument your command will not work another important change is that target selectors now error out if they have invalid arguments instead of just ignoring them in the filters that means that if you run a command with an

Invalid filter you’ll no longer kill every entity in the world for instance you also get a friendly error message in this case invalid selector argument type equals shep let’s fix it a little bit and try again and you will see that it still doesn’t work but now you get a

Better error message select your type it will ship found nothing so if we now fix that you’ll see that it actually does work entity IDs have now changed as well they now have a Minecraft colum prefix just like blocks used to this is not strictly necessary to use when you

Summon an entity but minecraft will fill it in automatically if you tab complete it is also not needed if you match with a selector however if you ever need to match the name of an entity inside nvt data then you will need to match minecraft colon as well one of the

Biggest changes in this version is that many of the entities and entities have been renamed in general everything has been named consistently with lowercase characters and underscores instead of the capital letters used before to indicate spaces in names this means armorstands are now called armored underscore stand instead of

Armor stand for your command box and maps are worked you will need to go through all of the ore commands and replace these this is better than by a script than it is by you manually if you want to convert something manually mr. Guerrero has a great web-based tool that

Will update a command that you paste in and you will be able to copy and paste the results out I’ll put a link to that tool in the video description there are also mcedit filters that can you just go through an entire map and update all of your commands for you so i

Really suggest that if you already have maps with the command box that you want to update run one of those filters on it i’ll try to include links to those in the video description as well together with this change is another change related to that block IDs entity IDs and

Item IDs are no longer case sensitive most commands that interact with blocks and block types now use block state definitions instead of the numerical data value that was used before this means that for instance in set block you can use variant equals smooth underscore granite instead of a data value of three

Or whatever that used to be if you want to find out corresponding block state definition for a numerical meta value from before owner where has made a complete list of translations from numerical values to the new state definitions I’ll include a link to that as well in the video description data

Values still do work so your commands probably won’t be broken because of this but it’s good to update these as well especially if you’re writing new commands because at some point they’ll probably go away this goes as well for more complex definitions like this one where a burst fence case is set facing

Equals West and open equals true if you don’t include more than one block state you do so by comma separating them and having each state equals its value this is course also goes for detecting block like in execute detect this for instance detects a piston with a facing

Up this means if I put a piston like so nothing happens however if I place the piston facing up instead the command triggers to detect any block state the what you used to be minus one you can use a star in addition to the rename of entities some entities have also been

Split up into separate entity types this means guardians and elder Guardians are now actually separate entity types as are skeletons strays and wither skeletons zombies zombie villagers and husks horses skeleton horses zombie horses mules and donkeys this can be used by /summon of course but also by commands that reference them in

Selectors like kill one more thing before we move on to the new commands and changes for existing commands the slash help output and the tab completion output have been changed so the net output help sorted alphabetically which is nice there’s one new command in this release is called slash locate and it is

Used to locate a certain type of structure in this case we located a temple at minus 136 some y-coordinates and – 1176 if I run slash locate and then tab complete you can see what kinds of structures can be found and cities fortresses mentions mine shafts monuments strongholds temples and

Villages sharp-eyed ones of you will have noticed that some types of structures are missing like an eco for instance that is because those are considered a variants so for this case I believe an igloo is actually a variant of a temple which is somewhat confusing sadly this is mostly a command that you

Might find helpful to run in creative mode the output is simply a text output and the application for using this in actual contraptions or Maps is probably limited /give can now give items to players disregarding the stack sections that normally apply to that item the action bar that is used more

Heavily in this version than before can now be accessed by the /title command the action bar is simply another sub type of title that you couldn’t ask the second argument there are two new particles in this version 1 is the llama spit particle in the core game this is

Used for the llamas spit attacks the other new particle is a totem particle this one is used when the totem of undying activates to save a player from a killing blow now let’s move on to the new entities the new Vindicator elegies are called vindication underscore illa Jers they

Have the normal NBT tanks that you would expect of an enemy mob but they also have one specific one if you name any villain cater with the name Johnny it will behave in a certain way otherwise it will behave normally as a Vindicator however this behavior can also be

Controlled by setting a Johnny and BT tag if you had the Johnny tag two one they will start attacking all types of living entities around them the second new entity type is the Evo gorilla jure this entity is called evocation underscore ilzor it also of course has

The normal enemy mob NBT tags it also has one more tag that one is called spell takes it is used when the evoker is channeling a spell and contains the number of ticks until that spell will actually fire you can change this value but it won’t actually trigger a spell

Cast it will simply change the value it normally counts down by one each tick until it hits zero and the spell is fired the other Evoque related thing is the Fang attack that entities called evocation underscore fangs yes plural fangs the most interesting tag with this one

Is a delay one it is called warm-up and you said it too the number of ticks you want before the attack should happen you can change this value while you’re running but once it hits zero the attack will start and then you cannot change it to have any effect after that the final

New enemy related entity is the vex the vex faces through blocks and has some interesting properties in its data it has a bounce X bounce Y M bounds Z value they are all integers and they seem to sort of confine the vex to a certain space they also have a life ticks value

Whenever that hits zero the vex will take one point of damage and then the life takes valuel reset it to 20 so whenever this value hits zero for the first time the VEX will start taking periodical damage one time per second there’s of course one more new

Entity the llama is added in this version and it is called simply the llama entity minecraft : llama it has a variant feel which if it’s zero will cause a llama to be creamy if it’s one will cause it to be white if it’s two will cause it to be

Brown and if it’s three will cause it to be gray or silver they also have a strength feel the strength is the number of slots it can carry divided by three but it also affects how likely they are to attack a wolf and actually how likely

A wolf is to run away from it finally they also have a decor item which is what item is in a saddle slot this will generally be a carpet of some color finally there’s actually one more entity related to the llama that is the llama spit which is basically a projectile

Particle used to save llama spits in flight the only NBT data that is possibly interesting to play with here is the UUID one’s owner UUID at least and the owner UUID most smooth want to changes in NBT data the item format has changed items now require the count tag

If you do not have a count tag the item will stop existing so if you are summoning an item for instance you need to set the count to 1 in order for the item to properly summon there is a new tag for snow golems that tag is pumpkin and it determines if the

Head has been sheared or not you can change this tag at the runtime and the pumpkin will pop into place or pop out of place chunker’s also have a new data tag it is color and that color determines their color just like the shelter boxes can have different colors

There are two new game rules in this version one of them is important enough that I even mentioned it in my update video for 1.11 it is called max entity cramming and it will kill off entities that end up too many in the same space you can set it to zero which totally

Disables this behavior and goes back to the normal behavior that we had before this might not be as important for Maps as it is for redstone contraptions and survival mode but maybe it can be useful for some Maps if you are using that and some maps probably need to have a lot of

Living entities in the same space the other new game rules called do weather cycle normally the weather will cycle as you probably know the previous way to disable this was to simply set a very very long time out on the weather command however now you can set the game

Rule do weather cycle to false instead and it will prevent the weather from switching on its own accord even when it takes down to normally changing let’s move on to some notable bug fixes one that many a map maker is the json sine score problem that is now fixed so you

Can properly put soundings with the score values on them again very nice for many map control systems marker armor stands had a bug for a while where they could be pushed by Pistons they can’t anymore and the boss bar would not correctly display custom of bosses that is now fixed and while

We’re on that subject the wither would do some weird things in custom maps including breaking structure blocks and that’s fixed now so if you had problems with that it’s now possible to combine withers with structure blocks without having problems with that they would also have a weird behavior where they

Could attack armorstands and they no longer seek out an attack Harbor Sam’s including marker armor stands so that is very good one fix that I don’t have a block to visualize here is slimes they would reset to full health whenever you set any of the tags in their data that

Is fixed in this version too so if you’ve been hit by that in some creation that’s not work wings they didn’t render properly on mobs they do now so that might be good or it might be bad depending on how you’ve used this but either way that actually works in this

Version one final thing to mention inside this test world and demonstrate is that leads if you summoned them using commands didn’t properly render they do now in this version so if you had some contraption with leads that is now fixed some other things that aren’t really possible to

Show in this world alone our armor stands hitboxes they’ve changed a number of times double check any contraptions you have to make sure that armor stands are working and especially small armor stands and baby zombie pigmen if they hold an item they now hold the item slightly differently than they did

Before so make sure you take a look if you’ve used especially tools like armor stand animators or armor stand posters you will sadly need to update the post values of all of your baby armor stands which will be the smaller size of items finally let’s talk about the surrounding

Files loot tables didn’t exist for villagers nor for the ender dragon and that is fixed in this version so you can override them if you want and add in loot for villagers and for the ender dragon in this version and resource packs the format has changed slightly it is now using version 3

For the resource pack and the only chains as far as I know is that version three resource packs have to use the lowercase file names for everything inside of the resource pack otherwise the form is still pretty much the same so it should be very easy to upgrade

Your resource packs now I believe that was everything that I had to share with you when it comes to the upgrades to commands and to map making in minecraft one point 11 hope you found this useful and if you did please help me out leave

A like on the video my name is sliced lime thank you for watching and I’ll see you in another video take care
