No need to say anything else
Get the Jar from 1.9 PRE RELEASE 2
( Every thing from Minecraft Forums)
Jeb has provided us with the last Pre-Release version of 1.9 - get it here! Remember, this cannot be obtained via the launcher, and must be installed manually. Don't forget to report any bugs you find here, so they can be properly documented and fixed!
Server hosters can get the new SMP jar here.
Found so far:
Nine new music discs (11 in total, one "broken")
Blaze powder
Magma cream
Glass bottle
Spider eye (dropped by spiders) and fermented spider eye
Hardcore mode: game over when you die, hearts have new icons
Golden apple now has a shining animation
Pressure plates on top of fence posts now make sound when you walk on them or next to them
Villagers have no names (No more TESTIFICATE)
Holding the spacebar allows you to jump continuously again
The enderman pearls now teleports you when thrown
Endermen teleport to dodge arrows. Endermen teleport out of water when they touch it. Endermen teleport a lot more
Item repair! Put two damaged items in the crafting grid (arrangement doesn't seem to matter)
F5 view cycling
Fences now attach to adjacent blocks, has an interesting outcome when used certain ways
Pumpkins can be “crafted” into 4 Pumpkin Seeds
Zombie Pigmen now randomly drop rotten flesh or gold bits instead of everytime
F8 cinematic mode is back
Feed passive mobs wheat to make them breed with each other
Passive mobs follow you when wheat is selected
Note: "There's a hardcore tooltip remaining in the world options menu. Please ignore it, hardcore is a game mode, not world option."
Notch also noted that there will be at least two more major additions to the game, followed by a code freeze (restricted code changes) prior to the official launch of Minecraft in November. Very exciting changes - keep an eye out for updates right here!
