What is new in Minecraft 1.9pre2?

Question

What's new in the 1.9pre2 update?

I have noticed that there is more Enderman roaming about and that tooltips are purple now, but wanted to know what was new in this specific update over the pre1 update.

Answer

Here is an ongoing list of changes from reddit between 1.9-pre and 1.9-pre2.

Currently, these changes have been found:

New items

  • Nine new music discs (11 in total, one "broken")
  • Blaze powder
  • Magma cream
  • Glass bottle
  • Spider eye (dropped by spiders)
  • Fermented spider eye

Game mechanics

  • Hardcore mode: game over when you die, hearts have new icons
  • Golden apple now has a shining animation
  • Pressure plates on top of fence posts now make sound when you walk on them or next to them
  • Villagers has no names (No more TESTIFICATE)
  • Holding the spacebar allows you to jump continuously again
  • The enderman pearls now teleports you when thrown
  • Endermen teleport to dodge arrows. Endermen teleport out of water when they touch it.
  • Endermen teleport a lot more
  • Item repair! Put two damaged items in the crafting grid (arrangement doesn't seem to matter)
  • F5 view cycling
  • Fences now attach to adjacent blocks, has an interesting outcome when used certain ways
  • Pumpkins can be “crafted” into 4 Pumpkin Seeds
  • Zombie Pigmen now randomly drop rotten flesh or gold bits instead of everytime
  • F8 cinematic mode is back

Animal breeding:

  • Feed passive mobs wheat to make them breed with each other
  • Passive mobs follow you when wheat is selected
