Mojang has set up a poll to say what you think of the Nether Update which you can find by clicking here. Feel free to answer it, it may help the developers.

Additions and modifications :

* Addition of an option to set the distance of the entities.
- It can be set from 50% to 500%.

Improving the Blacksmith’s Table interface

The ruined portals generate less often.
The “Soul Fire Torch” and the “Soul Fire Lantern” have been renamed to “Soul Torch” and “Soul Lantern”.

The loot from the remains of the bastion has been altered.
The low walls now create pillars under more elements, such as pressure plates and banners for example.
The “Solo” button on the title screen will redirect directly to the world creation screen if there are no worlds to select.
The chat component style can now select the desired font using the “font” property
- Custom fonts can now be put in the “font” folder in resource packs in “.json” format.* The storage format of 0 blocks has been slightly changed to speed up various tasks, such as rendering, pathfinding or world generation.
Addition of the “/attribute” command
- It allows you to modify the attribute of a single entity
The “color” attribute now accepts the RGB value using “#” (like #55ff55 for example)
The “Force Unicode Font” option (in the language options) no longer requires reloading the game.
