Changes

Banners and signs

• Now replace replaceable blocks, instead of trying (and failing) to be placed on them.

Experience

• Now is collected at the feet rather than at the head
  • This means that if a large amount of experience is collected, it will no longer block the player's view.
• Blocks no longer drop XP when the doTileDrops gamerule is false.

Farmland

• Mobs smaller than 0.512 cubic blocks can no longer turn farmland to dirt by jumping or falling on it.
  • This includes rabbits, chickens, bats, ocelots, wolves, cave spiders, endermites, silverfish, all current baby mobs, small slimes, and small magma cubes.

Filled buckets

• Now replace single snow layers when used on the top, instead of placing the water or lava in the air above the snow layer.

Mob spawning

• Mobs can no longer spawn inside blocks that block movement but are transparent, such as leaves.
• Mobs can no longer spawn on rails, powered rails, detector rails, or activator rails.

Rabbits

• Smaller than before.
• Chance to drop the rare drop, rabbit's foot, is 4× what it was before.
• Now only spawn in deserts, flower forests, taiga, mega taiga, cold taiga, ice plains, ice mountains, ice plains spikes, and "hills" and "M" variants of these biomes. Even in these biomes, spawn chance is somewhat reduced (weight 4 out of 44–52 rather than 10 out of 50–58).
• Rabbits are faster when panicking.
• Rabbits no longer prefer begging for food to mating.
• Non-killer rabbits now avoid players within 8 blocks and most hostile mobs within 4 blocks (except slimes, magma cubes, and ghasts), and move faster when doing so. Also, avoidance range for wolves was reduced from 16 to 10 blocks.
• Health reduced from 10 to 3.
• Naturally-spawned rabbit's skin depends on the biome. When breeding rabbits, there is a 5% chance the baby will match the biome rather than either parent.
  • In a snowy biome, 80% white and 20% black & white.
  • In a desert or desert hills, 100% gold.
  • Otherwise, 50% brown, 40% salt & pepper, 10% black.
• MoreCarrotTicks no longer has any effect.
  • When destroying crops, MoreCarrotTicks is set to 40 rather than 100.
• Destroying carrot crops now reduces the growth stage by 1 level, only removing the crop block entirely if the growth stage was 0.

Redstone

• Hitbox for redstone is now smaller based on the connections, similarly to fences

Snow Golems

• No longer leave a trail of snow if the game rule doMobGriefing is false.

Wolves

• Collar when tamed is now red, as it had been in releases before 1.8, rather than orange.

Iron Bars

• Texture of a side-ways oriented bar now includes an edge texture.
