=== Command format ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Commands&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Added {{cmd|setidletimeout &amp;lt;minutes until kick&amp;gt;}} to automatically kick idle players after a set length of time.&lt;br /&gt;
** Multiplayer-only command, can be used only by server operators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:NBT format]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Added &amp;lt;structure&amp;gt;.dat files in data folder for storing structure data.&lt;br /&gt;
** Contains files called &amp;quot;Village.dat&amp;quot; ([[Minecraft:village]]s), &amp;quot;Fortress.dat&amp;quot; ([[Minecraft:nether fortress]]es), &amp;quot;Temple.dat&amp;quot; ([[Minecraft:desert pyramid]]s, [[Minecraft:jungle temple]]s, and [[Minecraft:witch hut]]s), &amp;quot;Stronghold.dat&amp;quot; ([[Minecraft:stronghold]]s), &amp;quot;Mineshaft.dat&amp;quot; ([[Minecraft:mineshaft]]s), and others.&lt;br /&gt;
* NBT structure consists of the individual parts of each structure, labeled &amp;quot;children&amp;quot;, the chunk it originates in, a tag called BB, and an ID for what type of structure it is.&lt;br /&gt;
** The children tags have information on each part of the structure and the type of part it is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== General ===&lt;br /&gt;

* The [[Minecraft:sky]] near the horizon now darkens when the player has blocks between them and the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
** The greater the distance between the player and an area open to the sky, the darker the sky appears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Items ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Map]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Achievement/Java Edition|Achievement]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Improved achievements.&lt;br /&gt;
* When a player earns an achievement, it is now announced in chat. &lt;br /&gt;
** This can be disabled on servers in the [[Minecraft:server.properties]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;Super Secret Settings&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The button now applies different experimental [[Minecraft:shaders]].&lt;br /&gt;
* List of available shaders: antialias, deconverge, outline, art, desaturate, pencil, bits, flip, phosphor, blobs, fxaa, scan_pincushion, blobs2, green, sobel, blur, invert, wobble, color_convolve, NTSC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Video settings&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Render distance is now a slider ranging from 2 to 16 chunks.&lt;br /&gt;
* The sky is now visible on short (4 chunks) render distance.&lt;br /&gt;
* The chunks can now render past 12 chunks.&lt;br /&gt;
* Max framerate is now a slider ranging from 10 to 250 fps, then unlimited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Added mipmapping, anisotropic filtering, and FSAA (as a shader).&lt;br /&gt;

** They now display on the whole block.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Fog]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Re-adjusted fog distance to appear near the render distance limit, reverting changes made in [[Minecraft:13w36a]]. &lt;br /&gt;
* Fog now covers 25% of the view distance, compared to 75% before 13w36a.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Java Edition distance effects/Historical effects|Distance effects]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Minecraft:Item frame]]s now no longer simply follow the camera at extreme coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
** This is due to them being affected by an even more extreme bug as of this snapshot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* 13w38a was previously removed from the [[Minecraft:launcher]] for some time but was added back in September 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
* As with [[Minecraft:13w38b]], this snapshot was released on the same day as [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.6.4|1.6.4]].&lt;br /&gt;
