Scoreboard does not activate in Creative
While trying to make a map for the new snapshot using scoreboards, I found that scores will not activate in Creative mode. This is especially significant with the stat.flyOneCm, so you cannot find out how much you flied.
To reproduce:
-Enter Creative (with cheats)
-Type "/scoreboard objectives add fly stat.flyOneCm Fly Distance"
-Type "/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar fly"
-Fly around a bit
Environment
Windows 8 64 bit, Java 7 update 25, 6GB RAM (3GB allocated to JVM)

Confirmed for 14w21b

The scoreboard won't show up until the values are different from zero. Since you cannot fall in creative, it won't show up.That bug was already reported, but cannot find the ticket.Derp.
The specific stat I was looking at was stat.flyOneCm, not fall. Therefore, the scoreboard should activate while flying in creative.
setdisplay, not setDisplay.
Thanks Anon. Just fixed it.
Why is it invalid, btw?
Still cannot reproduce. Note that you must be going at a certain minimum speed and that it tracks horizontal distance, not vertical distance.
Do you have a screenshot/video of it working per chance?
Works in 14w21b horizontally
