&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;17w50a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the eleventh [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.13]], released on December 11, 2017,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{snap|17w50a|December 11, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which fixes bugs. This is the final snapshot released in 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Additions ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Command format ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Added a new local coordinate type in commands using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;^&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
** When specifying coordinates in a command, the [[Minecraft:player]] can now use &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;^&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to specify local coordinates instead of world coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
** The axes used for local coordinates are relative to the rotation of the executing entity.&lt;br /&gt;
** Like world coordinates, they are measured from the base of an entity.&lt;br /&gt;
** The syntax is: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;^left ^up ^forwards&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;left/up/forwards&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; is the amount of blocks in the specified direction.&lt;br /&gt;
** For example, typing {{cmd|setblock ^ ^ ^3 stone}} in chat sets a stone block 3 blocks in front of the player in their view.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tab-completing coordinates when not targeting a block suggests &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;~ ~ ~&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== General ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Tag]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Added the default tags &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;wooden_buttons&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;wooden_doors&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for both items and blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
* The tags &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;buttons&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;doors&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; now include &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;stone_button&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;iron_door&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; respectively for both items and blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Blocks ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Ender chest]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Now change their texture when the computer time is set to the 24th to 26th of December to suit Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Item frame]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Can now be placed on the top and bottom of blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== General ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Tag]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Can now include other tags (of the same type).&lt;br /&gt;
** The player can add for example &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;#foo:bar&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; in a tag value list to reference another tag called &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;foo:bar&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-referencing is not possible.&lt;br /&gt;
* When overriding a tag, the player can now choose to replace instead of append.&lt;br /&gt;
** By default all tags append if another data pack created the tag.&lt;br /&gt;
** Adding &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;quot;replace&amp;quot;: true&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to the tag definition makes that tag replace existing tags instead.&lt;br /&gt;
* When used in commands, block tags now support block state and data tag arguments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
