This page covers a release version that has a major issue under certain conditions.
The dedicated server for this version has
a security vulnerability in the
Log4j library that could be used to perform a remote code execution exploit. It can be addressed by appending a certain JVM argument to the server startup command line.

Glass can be dyed into all 16 colors.
This is done by putting a colored dye in the center of a crafting table and surrounding it with 8 pieces of normal glass, yielding 8 stained glass.
Stained glass can be crafted into stained glass panes using the same recipe as normal glass panes.
Water, nether portals and other stained glass blocks remain visible when looked at through a stained glass block.
Looking through a solid wall of glass blocks is equivalent to looking through a single piece (this does not apply to glass panes of any kind).
Air blocks make the view blurrier each time.
Adjacent glass of different colors ignore each other's colors, and render only the terrain behind, with the color of the outermost piece of glass.
Other translucent blocks may have different effects.

Can be success tested by going over a detector rail connected to a redstone comparator . Trees
Biomes
Mesa
Composed of multiple colored hardened clay that are layered in a way that resembles sedimentary rock.
There are seven colors including normal, orange, red, yellow, white, light gray and brown.

Dead bushes spawn in this biome.Occasional dying forests spawn on top of the clay mountains.
There is no rain in this biome. Savanna
Generate with acacia trees.
Horses can spawn in this biome.
Villages may generate in here.
There is no rain in this biome.
Very flat with plateaus and the occasional giant mountain. Roofed forest

Extreme hills+
Lacks stone on the surface and generates more trees and ground vegetation than the normal extreme hills.
Goes considerably higher than the normal extreme hills. Deep ocean
Is about ten blocks deeper than normal oceans; the maximum depth is in the low 30 blocks. Biome variants/Technical biomes
Sunflower plains
Exactly the same as plains, but can spawn sunflowers. Flower forest
Forest variant with several of the new flowers including peonies, orange tulips, white tulips, oxeye daisies, rose bush and allium.
Very densely packed with the various new flowers, including dandelions, but excluding sunflowers. Ice plains spikes
Mesa (Bryce)
A rare variant of the mesa biome which works similar to ice spikes, with tall clay spikes generating from the sandy mesa floor. Jungle edge
It generates around jungles, slowly leading into them.
It has considerably less foliage than the normal jungle. Mutated biomes – Biomes with an M variant are much rarer than any other variant.
Plateaus – Biomes with a plateau variant are like the hills technical biome, but flattened at the top.
Savanna plateau and mesa plateau are the only examples.
These are landforms which are raised by up to about 30 blocks and have flat tops. Mesa plateau F – A variant of the mesa plateau with trees and a grassy and dirty ground.Hills – More technical hills biomes have been added to fit with the new biomes.
Beaches – New variants have been added to fit with different biomes.
World type
AMPLIFIED
It scales up all world generation rules, so it uses the entire world height.
Almost all biomes can generate huge mountains that reach well above Y=200.
Extreme hills biomes frequently reach the world height limit at Y=256.
Swampland and ocean biomes are unaffected by this world type.
Extremely resource intensive and requires powerful computer to run.
Ravines here can reach down to bedrock.
Contains numerous various landforms that are very rare or non-existent in default generation.
Some examples include floating islands, overhangs, large water and lava falls and huge indents.
Taiga biomes reach such altitudes that snow starts generating (about Y=130).
It was created to test a fix, to reduce the number of lighting glitches, but it was kept as a feature on request of Notch . Commands

Slightly improved durability from lily pad impacts.
Boats have been reverted to the previous "WASD" controls.
The and keys can be used only while the key is pressed. 👁 Image Comparison between biome maps of Minecraft 1.6 and 1.7. Biomes
Jungle
Melons can now be found in patches similar to pumpkins.
Jungle biomes have been made much rarer.
Has a jungle edge which has less foliage, but slowly leads into the main jungle.
Jungle trees now generate with branches. Swampland
Grass is greener and fluctuates more in color, depending on biome temperature.
In shallower parts, the coast is covered in staggered dirt block with lily pads between them.
Spawn with blue orchid flowers. Plains
Generates three of the new flowers – azure bluets, oxeye daisies and sometimes tulips.
Double tall grass can also generate here. Extreme hills
Snow at high elevations of over Y=95.
Contain stone and large dirt patches.
Flat valleys near sea level.
Can generate up to Y=150, slightly above the clouds (previously Y=124).
Has much more height variation and has flat parts as well, as opposed to the previous extreme hills which forced endless high peaks to generate.
The extreme hills edge variant no longer generates. Taiga
Now generates without snow.
Snowy taigas have been implemented as a separate, new biome called "cold taiga". Ocean
Oceans are smaller and take up much less of the map.
Contains only gravel on the floor instead of sand, dirt and gravel.
The frozen ocean variant no longer generates. River
Gravel can now generate in disks . Biome categorization
Four main categories based on temperature:
Snow-covered, cold, medium and dry/warm.
Biomes avoid getting placed next to a biome that is too different to itself. Biome elevation
Much greater variation of elevation in general.
Most biomes can generate to Y=100.
Hills technical biomes have been made taller. Temperature
Each biome has a base temperature that determines whether the biome is snow-covered, whether it rains or snows, or whether it rains at all.
Biomes are grouped according to their temperature and attempt to generate next to biomes with similar temperatures.
Temperature decreases by 0.05 every 30 blocks increase in altitude. Caverns
Are less dense and interconnected. Witch huts
Now generate with a witch inside.
They formerly generated empty, with witches spawning inside later. Bonus chests
Can now contain acacia logs. World boundary
All blocks beyond X/Z 30 million (±30,000,000) from origin now act as solid blocks.
This includes air blocks.
This creates essentially an invisible wall at the boundary.
This boundary and blocks beyond it cannot be selected, and are unbreakable by any means.
Despite functioning like a solid block, it cannot be placed using the /setblock
As all blocks function as solid, if the player is moved outside the boundary via external tools, they are unable to move outside the block space they are within.
Despite that, the camera can still move normally.
Ghost chunks still generate.
Spiders can climb this boundary, since all blocks function as solid. Fishing
Items other than fish can be obtained by fishing.
These are divided into three classes.
Fish: raw fish, raw salmon , clownfish and pufferfish .
Treasure: enchanted fishing rods , enchanted bow , enchanted books , name tags , tripwire hook , lily pads and saddles .
Junk: damaged fishing rods, water bottles , rotten flesh , string , leather , bowls , sticks , bones , tripwire hooks , ten stacked ink sacs and damaged leather boots . Enchanting
"Unbreaking" can now be applied to any item with durability.
New enchantments for fishing rods that can bias the outcome of fishing.
Lure – reduces wait time to catch an item; increases the chance of catching fish and decreases the chance of junk and treasure.Luck of the Sea – increases chance of getting treasure and decreases chance of getting junk.
Enchanted books can receive multiple enchantments at once. Nether portal
Can now have different width and height, to allow for design variations.
If the one in the Nether is big enough, ghasts can go through them.
Portals can be activated when any fire block appears inside the frame.
Before only the bottom-most blocks would work.
New nether portal building rules: Any rectangular size from 4×5 to 23×23. Fog
Fog now covers 25% of the view distance instead of 75%. Death screen
If the player dies and selects the 'Title screen' button, a prompt asks if they are sure they want to quit, and give the player the options to go to the title screen or respawn and continue playing. Scoreboard
Can now use statistics and achievements to create objectives.
Added 744 new objective criteria that were previously tracked only through statistics and achievements. Commands
/time set day Sets the time to 1000 instead of 0. /time set night Sets the time to 13000 instead of 12000. Custom NBT data can be added via commands.
Works with /give /summon /setblock
Syntax examples:
/give @p 1 1 0 {display:{Lore:["Hi,","How are you?"],Name:"Nice Stone Block"},ench:[{id:1,lvl:10}]} /summon Pig ~ ~ ~ {Saddle:1,CustomName:"Babe",CustomNameVisible:1} /setblock ~ ~ ~ 397 3 replace {SkullOwner:MHF_Pig}
This removes the need to use external tools.
/give Prints renamed items' name by default in chat. The chat shows the corresponding tooltips when hovered over. NBT format
Unbreakable tag.
Applies to items with durability.
Nullifies any usage dealt to the item. List tags no longer need to be named.
No longer crashes when given the wrong type (integer/short).
Added <structure>.dat files in data folder for storing structure data.
Contains .dat called Village.dat, Fortress.dat (Nether Fortress), Temple.dat (Desert temple, jungle temple and witch hut), Stronghold.dat, Mineshaft.dat and others.
NBT structure consists of the individual parts of each structure, labeled "children", the chunk it originates in, a tag called BB, and an ID for what type of structure it is.
The children tags have information on each part of the structure and the type of part it is. Block/Item IDs
Can be referred to by their names, instead of numbers in commands.
Named references are planned to be the only option in the future.
Necessary for the Plugin API . Block and entity bounding boxes are now completely black instead of dark gray.
The entity hitbox toggled with + is now completely transparent, with a thin white outline. Resource packs
Complete menu overhaul with two columns, for selecting which of the downloaded resource packs should be rendered.
The ability to select multiple resource packs at once.
Resource packs at the top take precedence over those below, if files appear more than once.
Allows for non-manual merging of multiple packs.
For example: a sound pack and a different texture pack, etc.
Servers can now offer default resource packs.
Can be configured to be "enabled", "disabled" or "prompted".
The player is now able to add new sounds using resource packs, rather than replacing previously existing sounds.
Resource packs can remove, supplement, randomize and group sounds using JSON.
Maximum total size increased to 50 MB. Sounds
Sounds and music are stored together in the new .minecraft/assets/sounds folder.
Music now pauses when pausing the game. Lighting
Several lighting issues fixed.
A lot fewer "black spots" in terrain generation.
Some black spots occurrences have to be kept, in order to avoid a bug in world generation, associated with a complete removal of them.
Torch bugs in strongholds and mineshafts have been fixed.
The light level actually falls to 7 during thunderstorms.
Before it stayed at 12 like normal rain, but hostile mobs could spawn as if the light level was 7.
The clouds go black and the sky goes much darker. Chat system
"Saved screenshot as" messages can be clicked to open the screenshots .
It takes the player out of the game and into the ".minecraft" folder.
Ability to open a URL from the chat by clicking on it.
Names can be clicked to DM people.
Support for both hover and click events on the chat through /tellraw <player> <raw json message> Syntax example: /tellraw @p {text:"Daytime? ",color:"green",extra:[{text:"Click here!",color:"blue",clickEvent:{action:"run_command",value:"/time set day"}},{text:" Nighttime? "},{text:"Click here!",color:"blue",clickEvent:{action:"run_command",value:"/time set night"}},{text:" Have fun!"}]}. Inventory
In Creative mode, the display symbol for the "Decoration Blocks" tab was changed from rose to peony.
The armor boxes go black when the cursor is away from them.
Putting the cursor over an armor box causes it to display what armor is put there. Title screen
👁 Image Old graphics card warning in the title screen. A warning message now appears on computers with a graphics card that does not support OpenGL 2.1, warning the player that their configuration may prevent them from playing a future version.
Clicking on the warning will take the player to a page on the Mojang Support website, with more information about Minecraft 's system requirements.[ 5] Options
Grouped a few options into the controls section:
Allowed rebinding of 1–9 hotkeys, screenshot key, cinematic camera toggle (can be rebinded and no longer has a default key) and camera switching.

The player can remove the shader by pressing F4.
Language selection
Added 'Force Unicode Font' toggle, which allows the player to change whether Unicode font, is forced for text or not. Network code
Completely rewritten – uses Netty .
Most packets won't change, handshake and ping procedure redone.
There is now a packet length header. Logging
Now done using Log4j 2
Default logging location is now in logs/latest.logs ; older logs are archived in logs/<year>-<month>-<day>-1.lg.gz with the number at the end increasing each startup.
The way logs are saved can be changed, for example: html pages, databases, errors only, or no logging at all. Server list
Can be refreshed using .
Added server icons.
Added support for multi-line MOTD comments, which do not go off-screen.
Hovering over the player count shows the names of up to 12 online players. Minecraft Realms
