14w06a is the tenth snapshot for Java Edition 1.8, released on February 6, 2014,^[1] which adds /trigger and the CanPlaceOn tag.

/trigger

• Syntax: /trigger <objective> <add:set> <value>.
• Functions the same way as /scoreboard players set or /scoreboard players add, but can only modify objectives with the trigger criteria (referred to as "triggers") and can only modify the score of the player running the command.
• Can be used by non-operator players.
• For a player to run this command, the trigger must be enabled for that player.
  • /scoreboard players enable <player> <trigger> enables the specified player to use the specified trigger objective.
  • Trigger availability is stored per player, per trigger.
    • One trigger may be disabled for a player, but that player can use a different trigger.
    • One player may be unable to use a trigger, but another player can use the same trigger.
  • Disabled after the trigger has been used (must be re-enabled to use the trigger again).
• Mostly for use with /tellraw.

NBT format

• CanPlaceOn
  • Allows placing of certain blocks against other blocks in Adventure mode.
  • Example: /give @p minecraft:stone 16 0 {CanPlaceOn:[minecraft:diamond_block]}.
• HideFlags.
  • Allows hiding of certain parts of the tooltip.
  • Bit field of 1/enchantments, 2/modifiers, 4/unbreakable, 8/candestroy, 16/canplace.
• ShowParticles
  • Option to show or hide all particles for a potion effect, while the 'Ambient' tag only shows fewer particles. Set to true to show, false to hide.
• PickupDelay
  • The number of ticks before an item entity can be picked up.
  • Setting to 32767 prevents the duration from decreasing, thus making the item incapable of being picked up.

Scoreboard

• A new argument for /scoreboard: [objective].
• Allows objectives to be reset one by one.
  • Example: /scoreboard players reset <player> [objective].
• New objective criteria for team-specific kills, e.g.: teamkill.red, killedByTeam.blue.
• New objective criteria: trigger.
• Acts like the dummy criteria.
• Mostly for use with /tellraw.
