The 1.8 Pre-Release is available for testing right now! We've done some extensive testing, and discovered the following features:
- Biomes are MUCH larger and uniform than before

- Silverfish
- Creative mode
Allows flying, insta-break, unlimited items from an item palette, no damage, and more
- Abandoned mine shafts
- Endermen
Normally passive, these night-spawning mobs will teleport to (and attack) you if you look directly at them. When defeated, they can drop Ender Pearls, which presently do nothing
