So, another new snapshot.
The End and the Nether are fixed again, you can go and visit them now in the snapshots and seeing that they are generalted again, enchanting and repairing items works again and they added cocoa plants to jungle biomes.
These cocoa plants grow on the huge jungle trees (looking like evil parasite eggs), growing through 3 stages (green > yellow > orange) after which they can be harvested for 3 cocoa beans.
You can plant them yourself by right clicking on the jungle tree with cocoa beans in hand.
There is a small bug with it. When you are in creative mode and use the "Pick Block" function on them you get a strange texture which you can use to place cocoa plants almost everywhere. These will pop off (giving you cocoa beans) once something close by updates, but if left alone they will grow.
These plants are considered blocks, so you can stand on them and your way may be blocked by them (when in a treehouse (that you made yourself, they don't generate)).
More changes are a new "Large biomes" world type, torches that spawn around bonus chests, changed cocoa beans textures and specific names for the different sandstone and smooth stone blocks.
Official change log can be found on the Mojang website.
As always you can try the new feature out yourself by downloading the client (with listen server) and the (dedicated) server.
Still watching for new stuff to pop up,
