From trial chambers last week to redstone today, Mojang is working hard to have the next update ready for a full display! Today, we explore Minecraft 1.21 Snapshot 23W46A, the tick changes coming our way, and how you too can hop into the latest update and play.
Patch Notes
Changes
- Updated Crafter textures
Technical Changes
- The Data Pack version is now 25
Data Pack Version 25
- Added individual display names for scoreboard entries
Commands
Scoreboard
Display names
- Each entry in a scoreboard can now have a custom display name
- Those values are kept separate per objective and score holder
- If the name is not present, the score holder name is used (i.e. the old behavior)
- If the score is reset or the whole objective is removed, the name is not preserved
- Team decorations will still be applied to names as normal
- Subcommands for managing names:
- scoreboard players display name <targets> <objective> <text component> – set display name
- scoreboard players display name <targets> <objective> – clear display name
Display name auto-update
- To make display name management easier, objectives can also be configured to auto-update display names on every score update
- This option is disabled by default
- If a score holder has no display name (because it can’t be attributed to any currently loaded entity), the current name is preserved
- Command to control auto-update for objective:
- scoreboard objectives modify <scoreboard> displayautoupdate [true|false]
Number formatting
- Scores in numeric form can now be formatted
- Formats can be set for both objectives and individual scores
- Scores with set formats will render the same in all context (sidebar, under player name, etc.)
- Subcommands for managing formats:
- scoreboard objectives modify <objective> numberformat <format> – for setting default format for an objective
- scoreboard objectives modify <objective> numberformat – for clearing default format for an objective
- scoreboard players display numberformat <targets> <score> <format> – for setting format for a specific score holder
- scoreboard players display numberformat <targets> <score> – for clearing format for a specific score holder
Formats:
- styled <style> – score will be displayed with selected style (like {“bold”:true})
- fixed <text component> – score will be replaced with text
- blank – score will not be displayed
