Additions

Commands

Added Template:Cmd to automatically kick idle players after a set length of time.
- Multiplayer-only command, can be used only by server operators.

Added <structure>.dat files in data folder for storing structure data.
- Contains files called "Village.dat" (Minecraft:villages), "Fortress.dat" (Minecraft:nether fortresses), "Temple.dat" (Minecraft:desert pyramids, Minecraft:jungle temples, and Minecraft:witch huts), "Stronghold.dat" (Minecraft:strongholds), "Mineshaft.dat" (Minecraft:mineshafts), and others.
NBT structure consists of the individual parts of each structure, labeled "children", the chunk it originates in, a tag called BB, and an ID for what type of structure it is.
- The children tags have information on each part of the structure and the type of part it is

Added the achievement "Diamonds to you!", which is obtained by throwing Minecraft:diamonds at another player.

The Minecraft:sky near the horizon now darkens when the player has blocks between them and the sky.
- The greater the distance between the player and an area open to the sky, the darker the sky appears.

Improved achievements.
When a player earns an achievement, it is now announced in chat.
- This can be disabled on servers in the Minecraft:server.properties.

"Super Secret Settings"

The button now applies different experimental Minecraft:shaders.
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.

Video settings

Render distance is now a slider ranging from 2 to 16 chunks.
The sky is now visible on short (4 chunks) render distance.
The chunks can now render past 12 chunks.
Max framerate is now a slider ranging from 10 to 250 fps, then unlimited.
Added mipmapping, anisotropic filtering, and FSAA (as a shader).
Mipmap levels setting is a slider ranging from off to 1 through 4.
Anisotropic filtering can be disabled or set to 2, 4, 8 or 16.
Post-processing (shaders) can be toggled.
- They now display on the whole block.

Re-adjusted fog distance to appear near the render distance limit, reverting changes made in Minecraft:13w36a.
Fog now covers 25% of the view distance, compared to 75% before 13w36a.

Minecraft:Item frames now no longer simply follow the camera at extreme coordinates.
- This is due to them being affected by an even more extreme bug as of this snapshot.

13w38a was previously removed from the Minecraft:launcher for some time but was added back in September 2018.
As with Minecraft:13w38b, this snapshot was released on the same day as 1.6.4.
