General

 * The "flattening"
 * Numeric block metadata completely phased out in favor of block states.
 * Split, merged, created, deleted, and renamed a lot of blocks, block states, block entities and items.
 * Blocks and items previously differing because of damage value have gotten their own id, for example  instead of
 * Damage has been moved to the tag and is only used by tools, armor and maps.
 * Files and commands no longer use  or.

 * Creative Inventory
 * Because of The "flattening", certain blocks and items have been moved around in their respective groups, for example, the Purpur block is now after Obsidian.
 * Mushroom Blocks, farmland and grass path are added to the inventory, under the Decoration Blocks group; blank firework rockets are added to the Miscellaneous group; and bark, smooth stone, sandstone, red sandstone and quartz are added to the Building Blocks group.

Blocks

 * The upper limit of the block ID has disappeared.
 * Blocks which used to have no bottom texture (like repeaters, comparators, torches, etc.) now have a bottom texture, not including redstone wire.
 * Flicking a lever on now displays redstone particles.
 * Blocks with a collision box now have matching bounding boxes.
 * Affected: anvils, cauldrons, hoppers, fences, iron bars, glass panes, filled ender portal frames, vines, lily pads, stairs, brewing stands, and pistons
 * Updated the collision box of anvils and hoppers.
 * Does not affect blocks with a collision box smaller than their model, such as soul sand and snow layers.
 * Beds now require a block below it as a support. Previously this was only required when placing the bed and the block could be destroyed afterward without the bed being destroyed.
 * Chests and trapped chests can be put directly next to their double variants instead of requiring one block between them.
 * Shift right-clicking a chest or trapped chest next to a chest or trapped chest respectively will not make the two chests or 2 trapped chests combine into a double chest or double trapped chest.
 * Placing pumpkins and fence gates no longer requires a block below them.
 * Silverfish-infested blocks will now break instantly, no matter the tool.
