 Description   

Update by Mega_Spud:
Verification builds:
1.1.0.9 Retail

Summary:
Various commands are missing their description in the Help section, because the description is missing from the .lang game file. These include:

  • clear
  • effect
  • me
  • playsound
  • replaceitem
  • setmaxplayers
  • spreadplayers
  • stopsound
  • testfor

Steps to Reproduce (example):

  1. Type '/help me' in chat (or use any from the list above)

Observed Results:
A generic reference to where the description should be is shown on screen.

Expected Results:
I expected to see the description printed on screen.
(For a working example, use '/help kill')

Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes

Notes:
See this comment for the missing sections of the .lang file that can be added.


Original Description:

When typing '/help effect' or '/help me' there's no description for the command.

I've written the missing sections from the .lang file, that can be added to resolve this issue:

commands.clear.description=Clears items from player inventory.  #
commands.effect.description=Add or remove status effects.   #
commands.me.description=Displays a message about yourself.  #
commands.playsound.description=Plays a sound.   #
commands.replaceitem.description=Replaces items in inventories. #
commands.setmaxplayers.description=Sets the maximum amount of players that can join the world.  #
commands.spreadplayers.description=Teleports entities to random locations.  #
commands.stopsound.description=Stops a sound.   #
commands.testfor.description=Counts entities matching specified conditions. #
