This thread is for discussion of the 1.7 snapshots! The current snapshots released are 13w36a and 13w36b. Dinnerbone and Jeb decided not to give us an official changelog so the following is we, the community's, findings.
EDIT: 13w37a is out! Hold your horses while we research!
Also, if you would like to tell Jeb, Dinnerbone and the rest of Mojang what you think of these features please visit this website and vote! Minecraft Updates!
Gravel Beaches have been reimplemented!
Sugar Cane texture has been modified
EDIT:
There also appears to be variants of Sugar Cane. (Maybe biome dependent?)
New Biome: Sunflower Plains
New Biome: Roofed Forest (A.K.A. The Dark Forest)
New Biome: Stone Beach (A.K.A. Cliff Biome)
Changes to Extreme Hills
Spruces now spawn somtimes in Extreme Hills. Also note that a new variant of Extreme Hills (Extreme Hills +) exists which appears to include more drastic elevation changes.
Taiga Biome no longer has snow!
What we previously knew as the Taiga Biome has been renamed to Cold Taiga.
New Biome: Birch Forest
New Flowers (Along with the new Packed Ice Block and the new Podzol Block)
(Left to right: Poppy, Peony, Double Tallgrass, Large Fern, Rose Bush, Orange Tulip, White Tulip, Pink Tulip, Oxeye Daisy, Blue Orchid. Packed Ice Block is featured behind the flowers)
(I apologize for the mislabeled in-game signs on this pic)
(Left to right: Lilac, Azure Bluet, Red Tulip, Sunflower with the new Podzol Block featured in the front)
New Fish! And a new potion!
New Falling Particle Animation!
Fishing Rod Enchantments!
New enchantments for Fishing Rods that can change your luck when fishing.
Lure - increases chance of catching fish
Luck of the Sea - increases chance of getting treasure
New Savannah Biome!
Right now Savannah Trees are Jungle wood with Oak Leaves. I hope this will be changed soon.
Swamp Colors have been changed!
Priority Resource Packs!
Lots of Volume Controls!
Sprint can now be activated by double tap w or left control. This is also now changeable!
A Super Secret Settings tab which is unclickable at the moment. Doubtless one of Dinnerbone's many jokes
New Redwood Forest Biome!
I have given you guys the seed ^ for the redwood forest biome because they are pretty rare. This one is right at spawn no problem.
New Mesa Biome!
New Deep Ocean Biome!
New Ice Spike Plains Biome (Unconfirmed name)
New Flower Forest Biome!
Packed Ice Research (thanks to minihilly and edited by king_tnerb)
Packed Ice does not melt, and does not yield water when broken (although it CAN be broken in Adventure mode, like regular ice can be).
Packed ice can be broken with any tool but must be silk touched to get the item (like regular ice)
Packed Ice also acts like a solid-block, unlike regular Ice - you can, for example, pass a redstone-signal through it:
New Jungle Edge Technical Biome with Melons!
Melons spawn in Jungles now!
Command Blocks now display a Previous Output box
New Amplified Terrain World Generation Option
Custom Lore for Items (Research by minihilly)
This is the test code used above:
give @p 268 1 0 {display:{Name:"minihilly",Lore:["This is a test","This is another test"]}}
Creepers can now be blown up with Flint and Steel in Creative Mode.
EDIT: Apparently you can do this in survival too. I hope they change this....

13w37a 9/12/13

What are your thoughts on 1.7 so far? (BTW this is probably not even half the features. Just all the features I have found)Alright I think we have almost everything. Please post if you find anything else!
Guys if you are having problems with fps(AMPLIFIED biomes) just install FpsPlus. It works with the snapshot. Just remember how to install it correctly. Also the experimental version of this mod doesn't work. You can also install this mod on a server too(not tested yet).
While fishing, I managed to catch an enchanted book with Bane of arthropods IV on it. The rod was enchanted. But it didn't show with what. I did put 8 levels in to it anyway.
NICE! Do you happen to have a screenshot to give me so I can post it?

I found two new biomes, Extreme Hills+ and River. Unfortunately I can't post screenshots so you'll have to find them yourself.
I need to tell you, they're insane though.Actually, I have the seed right here:

Sorry if it's wrong.

Mesa spawn.
Thanks for the seed. Hope they get that glitch fixed soon!
Nice find! I'll add that to the OP.
I couldn't find one, but thanks for putting this up!
Oh man. All I could think of was Adventure Time and The Ice King with that biome. lol
Right here my friend! https://s3.amazonaws...rver.13w36a.jar
That link will download the jar for you!
I know right? It looks epic!
Or Ice Age! Now all we need is some sloths and a saber tooth. lol
Welcome!
NICE! Do you happen to have a screenshot to give me so I can post it?
Evil ideas.
I am also happy because this might get the "DId the Terrain Become BORING?" threaders to shut up.
LOL. But why do you use such a weird font?
Already found that. Thanks though!
