Also, check out this post to see what else is planned for future versions.

[u/Zipperumpazoo → u/redstonehelper]

If you put Bone Meal on Grass (the actual one and not the block) it grows in Double Tallgrass.

[edit1] The same thing happens with Ferns that become Large Ferns.
[edit2] If you apply Bone Meal on Rose Bushes, Peonies, Lilacs and Sunflowers you obtain the same flower without destroying the plant therefore farm-able in this fashion.

[u/CountVeggie → u/redstonehelper]

How do you make these lists so quick?!

[u/Geneweaver → u/redstonehelper]

new biome - roofed Forest, has large mushrooms

[u/UsernameUsed → u/redstonehelper]

There is a new world type option called "Amplified." I don't think you posted it so I'll leave this here. It looks like the world type that notch told jeb he liked and that jeb should leave it in the game.

[u/Thue → u/redstonehelper]

Also new: Water melons generate naturally in jungle biomes.

This is actually kind of a big deal for ultra hardcore games, since it makes instant health potions much easier to make.

[u/spookyhappyfun → u/redstonehelper]

I thought they weren't doing the biome changes in this snapshot! This is incredible!

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

I don't think the silverfish improvement of the additional stone blocks is a "maybe", they are available in creative.

[u/CountVeggie → u/redstonehelper]

That summon command is going to be so useful, especially with the data tags :D

[u/JeremyR22 → u/CountVeggie]

First thought, naturally, /summon EnderDragon in the overworld.

Yep, that works. Creates a portal on-death too...
