Fixes
From released versions before 1.8


 * – Player can be pushed around by mobs while on horseback
 * – Nether Fortresses are ignoring "Generate Structure" setting at world creation
 * – 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
 * – Mooshrooms lose their name (from name tag) when sheared
 * – when the disk is put in jukebox the name does not appear

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.
