Yesterday, Mojang announced that Minecraft (the new version of Nintendo Switch) will soon get a new feature called Scoreboards. Those allow you to set, query, and view scores for players in your game, which can be used for various things. Of course, you can use it to track how many enemies have been killed for example, but you can also use the feature to create economic systems, record progress, make timers or record stats for players. Check out this post for more details about Scoreboards!

Here’s some pictures:
