Ok, to clarify a few things:

-Clouds have ALWAYS been 3D (Fancy Graphics)
-The chest opens, that's obviously the first thing, the second thing IS NOT a second chest ¬_¬ (we've always had more than one chest)

-Lighting looks different to me and there wouldn't be any other reason to take the screenie at dawn/dusk unless it was to show them.
-There is no red creeper
-There is nothing new hidden behind the cacti ¬_¬;
-The sand 'pressure plate' is unlikely (anyone think the screenie has just been cut down or something, that's far more likely)

-Speculating won't make it any more real, try waiting for like, 3 days for the possible release, sheesh! ¬_¬;

yay...circleposting. "hey dude maybe i shouldwrite something that has already been posted about a hundret times in this topic!" "oh! thats a great idea lets do it twice. it would double the fun." -.- seriously guys

things that have been mentioned (several times) before:

-he is holding sand in his left hand
no he is not. the sand is supposed to be holding has a width of more than 16 pixels. HUD being turned off is not an
argument here since the upper or lower part of the picture have been cut out (1920x1056 instead of 1920x1080) and we*can't say if it actually is on or not.
+HUD is turned off (no cross in the middle of the screenshot

-the clouds changing colour, the lighting of the sky and so on...at has been confirmed and shown several times that the
lighting was changed and the daynight circle got smoother...so it would not be a "new" thing notch just finished up.

-four hi cacti and cacti standing next to each other
first off...none of those two are to be seen in the picture. secound, four hi cacti are most of the times bugs, which
can already happen in the current version

-chest not looking to the east...could be but i can't determin if the sun is setting or rising

-the thing behind the cacti...yep could also be but it could just be nothing, we don't know

and to all of you who try to find the secound thing in the vines screenshot. the vines screenshot was added later...AFTER he mentioned that there are two new things in the screen.

okey i know this is kind of sensless but maybe it'll help just a little
Stop writing the same things over and over again!

Yes, we can confirm the HUD is 100% defiantly turned off, because there is also no crosshair!

The picture is not 'cropped' as such, it just not 1080 pixels tall because the windows 'start bar' at the bottom of the screen and the Title bar at the top takes up some of the vertical space. So when the screenshot is taken the 'Windows bars' are hidden, resulting in a slightly smaller verticle resolution compared to the native resolution.

ah thanks havent thought of that since i always play in fullscreen mode. Since all the other screenshots where also made in fullscreenmode it didn't come to mind...will edit it

Ther's a cluster of 4 cacti together just right of the chest, and a little brown "thing" behind them that isn't a bush. Could just be another chest, but when I blow it right up under Gimp, it doesn't look like one.

I think its the new lighting system. Notice how it seems color corrected.

does this mean that chests will be taken out of the terrain.png and put into the items folder as (possibly) chest.png?

Clouds have always changed color at sunset for me >.< idk if it's the fact that i play on fast graphics or something, but that doesn't look new at all

Holding a sand block in his left hand, but i see something waving in the distance

Are you all ****ing kidding me ?

The 2th thing is-

You can change the hand witch is holding the block

Just look in the left side of the chest and you some some pixels that are bigger then normal, count them
and its 16pixel so 1 block = 1 Holding block in left hand!

I like the way grass gets browner without sunlight(look under the floating island)

with the vines, will there be tarzan? lol

This gives me hope for locked chests!

I KNOW!!! IT'S HORIZON LINES!!!!

I thought it was the new Biome. Look at the sheer size of that desert. Notch said he made the biomes much larger, as oppose to now where it takes 10 seconds to walk through a biome.

look behind the mosh pit of catus thers a mob or sumthing!!!!

I am so sick of seeing "OMG LEFT HANDED! AHHHH!" or "Don't be an idiot it is obviously left handed." First of all read the rest of the thread, stop looking and saying the first thing on your mind, when that that first thought has already been proven wrong. Also, read the wiki! I am just so sick of seeing people write the same dis proven comment again and again.

you can barely see it, but its there. notch does appear to be holding sand in his LEFT hand instead of his right. diamond sword dual wield time!

the clouds are orange durning sun set/rise due to the new lighting.

so orange fog
