The wildcard * fits into wrong commands without error.

For example I do this:

/scoreboard objectives add o dummy
Added new objective 'o' successfully

/scoreboard players set a o 1
Set score of o for player a to 1

/scoreboard players set b o 1
Set score of o for player b to 1

/scoreboard players set c o 1
Set score of o for player c to 1

/scoreboard teams add *
Added new team 'b' successfully
Added new team 'c' successfully
Added new team 'a' successfully

Clearly it makes no sense to put the wildcard as a team name, but it will create teams with the names of all the players in the scoreboard successfully. It also works in other "/scoreboard ..." commands in places where it shouldn't but I haven't tested all of them to give a complete list.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.

Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. We will reopen it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.

Confirmed in 1.8.3. However, I don't believe this is a bug. Asterisks should always represent player names, that's what they are for. It's actually quite useful that they work the way they do.

Confirmed for

  • 1.8.6 but like @unknown said, it is pretty useful and it seems like there are no downsites of this

Well, the downside is that you can't have the team name of "*". But that's really not enough of a downside to necessitate changing this. The asterisk argument is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing, it's not a bug.

Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.

This is an automated comment on any open or reopened issue with out-of-date affected versions.

Fixed in some 1.13 snapshot.
