 * – Horse tries to breed with another horse that is not yet in Love mode
 * – Double plants cannot be broken by placing a different block on the block it occupies
 * – Statistics doesn't resize / Buttons missing after resize
 * – Falling / Landing particles / particles applied to the player centered on the block rather than the player

 * – when the disk is put in jukebox the name does not appear

From the 1.8 snapshots

Trivia

 * The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog does not start with that name, but if you try to rename it, it will get the name, no matter what you try to rename it to.
