=== Mobs ===

=== Non-mob entities ===
; [[Lightning bolt]]
* May strike during thunderstorms, creating fire and dealing damage around it.
=== Gameplay ===
; [[Achievements/Java Edition|Achievements]]
* Are now transferred between worlds.
; [[Weather]]
* Added natural occurring [[rain]], [[snowfall]]s, and [[thunderstorm]]s.
=== General ===
; [[Control]]s
* {{key|Shift}} + clicking on something in a [[chest]] immediately moves the selected item(s) into the player's inventory and vice-versa.
; [[Option]]s
* Ability to change GUI size ("Small", "Normal", "Large", "Auto").
* Advanced OpenGL (occlusion culling: doesn't render blocks that the player can't "see", helps performance in cards that support it).
; [[Statistics]]
* Are now transferred between worlds.
== Changes ==
=== Blocks ===
; [[Bed]]
* Sleeping in thunderstorms is now possible, even in daytime.
; Birch and spruce [[leaves]]
* Now drop [[birch sapling]]s and [[spruce sapling]]s, respectively.

* Texture has now been removed from {{mono|[[terrain.png]]}}.
; [[Fire]]
* Now spreads much slower than before.
; [[File:Grass Block JE4.png|32px]] [[Grass block]]s
* When using fancy graphics, the sides now use the same color as the top (example of a grass block in [[Java Edition Alpha 1.2.0|Alpha v1.2.0]]: [[File:Grass Block JE3 BE1.png|32px]]).
** Old grass block can still be enabled if the graphics are set to "Fast".
; [[Ladder]]s
* Its [[crafting]] recipe now produces 2 ladders to offset the fix of the staggered-ladder exploit.
; [[Sapling]]s
* Can now serve as fuel in [[furnace]]s.
** Have the same smelting time as [[stick]]s.
; [[Redstone wire]]
* Fully off redstone wire is no longer black.
* Several changes in redstone wire rendering.

; [[Control]]s
* Pressing {{key|Tab}} switches between input boxes.
* {{key|Shift}} + {{key|F2}} no longer creates a 36450×17700 pixel screenshot.
; Performance
* Huge performance improvements for old and slow computers.
== Fixes ==
; 14 bugs fixed
* Players are only 'on' a ladder (can climb it/fall slowly) if the lower half is in the ladder block, rather than any part of the player.
** It is no longer possible to climb with a one-block gap in a ladder, or a ladder that starts at eye level.
* On fancy graphics, the sides of grass blocks are now biome-specific and match the shade on the top.
* Player movement through water has been fixed to previous speed.
* Wolves' pathfinding now has a better understanding of doors. They go through doors most of the time, but sometimes get stuck on the 3-pixel thickness of the door.
* The lighting on portals and ice has been fixed when using smooth lighting.
* [[Stairs]] are no longer transparent to light.
* On multiplayer, the health of wolves are now synchronized between server and client, causing wolves to only whimper when low on health, as opposed to all of the time.
* Redstone in off state is red again.
* Crops hit with water now drop seeds and wheat, as opposed to just wheat.
* Moving minecarts continue to move if the world is closed.
* The Mojang logo is the correct size when the client is maximized.
* The exploit to make chests three or more side by side by placing a water source and placing a chest in that source has been fixed.
* {{key|Shift}} + {{key|F2}} doesn't attempt to create massive .tga screenshots, which are more than 1GB in size, anymore.
* Sugar cane can now only be placed on dirt.
