[MC-64187] F3 screen not displaying useful data values or appropriate name for /setblock functionality.

It used to be that you could see the data of the block that you were looking at in the F3 screen. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. This makes it harder to use /setblock to receive the precise block you are looking for. My video gives a better description of the practical uses for this. Something I neglected to show in my video was an attempt to use the variant data tag and it not having any effect. I'm not sure if this itself is a bug, but I know this issue can be resolved if the block data is added back in for the block you are looking at/ referencing.

This is not a feature suggestion. It was in the game, and now it doesn't seem to be anymore. I'm sorry if you misunderstood. I'd appreciate it if you would re-open this so that it may be resolved. Otherwise you're just interfering with the developers work toward getting this fixed sooner rather than later.

Was reported as bug and fixed, see MC-59979

Well, see your point.

Thank you

If this is left in its current state it will be harder for map makers to /setblocks in various positions and various sates. If you are going to remove metadata altogether, at least add in a tab option to the various available block states rather that hide them from map makers altogether.

This isn't works as intended because the data values were there before, then they were replaced by the square brackets which WERE a bug.
When they were fixed the data values hadn't come back, which IS also bug.

...TheMogMiner marked it as WAI, so yes, it is WAI because a dev said it so.

Will Williams 2014-08-14T17:03:50Z

You can say that it works as intended all you want. However, it doesn't fix the issue that map makers can no longer use this function for uses like setblock with meta data in the command. This is bc they'll no longer know what meta data to put in the command to get the block placed exactly as they wanted it to be placed. Its all a mood point now as its in the developers hands and at the end of the day they have the final say. I just made the mistake of thinking that the community have a voice in this game, but I guess those days are over with.
