Rewrite of the the achievements and statistics system[25]
Now ties in with the scoreboard system - added 744 new objective criteria that were previously tracked with statistics and achievements
Are now per world/server[26]
Achievements screen can now be zoomed in and out using the mouse wheel.
Achievements don't appear on the achievements screen if more than five achievements need to be achieved first (i.e. "DIAMONDS!" doesn't appear until "Getting Wood" is achieved).
Data for a block, item, or mob doesn't appear in their respective tab in the Statistics screen unless the player has crafted/placed/mined that block, crafted/used/depleted that item, or killed/was killed by that mob.
New achievements: Repopulation, Adventuring Time, The Beginning?, The Beginning., and Beaconator
New statistics: Distance by Horse, Junk Fished, and Treasure Fished
New scoreboard functions[27][28][29][30]
Can now use statistics to create objectives; anything that statistics can track can be used as an objective (can also track achievements)
This is the reason why statistics/achievements were changed to be stored per world/server
The /give command can now give items to players with custom names and lore[31]
It can also give enchanted items.
Example: /give <player> <ID> <quantity> <damage value> {display:{Name:"",Lore:["",""]},ench:[0:{id: ,lvl: }]}
It can also give items with custom NBT tags, such as SkullOwner to obtain the Head of a specific player
This removes the necessity to use an NBT editing program to obtain these items.
Attribute modifiers have been added to the /give command (not completely investigated as of yet).
Example: To give a diamond sword with +50 Attack Damage to the nearest player, use the command /give @p 276 1 0 {AttributeModifiers:[0:{AttributeName:"generic.attackDamage",Name:"gene ric.attackDamage",Amount:50,Operation:0,UUIDLeast: 894654,UUIDMost:2872}]}
This enables the possibility of additional attributes to items using commands without the use of an NBT editing program.
Command blocks now show what command it ran recently.
The /time set day command now sets the time to 1000 instead of 0
