Holy crap. That was a long freaking list. I must say, well done (sort of) Mojang.
Ok, guys, I have a lot of comments about this; just basic, first thing I think of thoughts. Here it is if you're interested:

Ok, nice...always like more blocks.
Yes! More iron stuff!
Cool lantern blocks...
Wtf is an Ocean Monument
Armor stands AND banners! Wonderful.
Ah, the guardian mob...such creativity.
Endermite? Sounds terrifying.
OMG OMG! Freaking rabbits!......................................................................(Look what Smegal caught! Nice and JUICY)LOTR
MUTTON FINALLY! Sheep are now useful!
Doors and fences stuffz. Very nice. Cool.
Sponges did that before?
Spectator mode? Alright. Fair enough.
Oooooooh! One new achievement! You're so fancy, Mojang.
World barriers? Finally....
You can customize your seperate limbs. Actually, that's pretty sweet.
Alex? Really? Alex? Ok, I'll give her a shot. But why smaller arms? Why isn't she a wrestler chick? That seems appropriate.
Lapis Lazuli has a real use now, besides wonderful carpets?
Oh! Praise to Steve! Block ID NAMES!!
Buttons...buttons everywhere!
Oh I sees there's LOTS of changes.
Yeah, sure you removed Herobrine. For the 50th time!!!!!!!!!!
