- A new type of dungeon with new blocks and mobs.[20]

- The ender dragon now breathes purple particles.[27]
- The dragon will be able to respawn without resetting the End if it has already been killed.[28]

- New cloud rendering system.[29]
- New GUI[30]
- Will contain tab to complete.
- A way for mod/plugin makers to implement new commands and register them in a simple way.[31][32][33]
