Larger Biomes
Rivers flowing through/inbetween biomes.
Deeper Oceans
New combat Mechanics Critical hits
Hold-to-charge bows

Plantable pumpkins and melons, each with a central stem that grows to max size and spawns a fruit next to it.
Animal breeding.

There is now a food meter. The food meter is possibly optional since Notch has said that it will be possible to play without food.
Food will be stackable.
Food takes 1.6 seconds to consume.
There is now a food eating animation.
There will most likely be sound effects for consuming food.
5 new food items. Cooked Chicken.
