We’ve been rewriting a lot of internal stuff this week, so this snapshot may not be super fantastic featureful but trust me it’ll be worth it in the end.

• Statistics for items/blocks can now be referenced per name, instead of ID
• Added new objective criteria ‘trigger’, and a command /trigger to use with them (intended for tellraw links)
• Added the ability to reset a single score on a player through /scoreboard
• Added new objective criteria for team-specific kills (teamkill.red, killedByTeam.blue)
• Added the ability to iterate over every scoreboard player with * in /scoreboard commands
• Added data tag to items to allow placing of certain blocks against other blocks in adventure mode (/give @p stone 16 0 {CanPlaceOn:["minecraft:diamond_block"]})
