What is something that was added in an update that is no longer in the game, that you miss?

Before posting don't just go an say "everything before update ________"
just a few features that were taken out or overwritten that you miss.

for me:
green swamps(1.8.1)
soft obsidian(1.9 pre-release)
feathers as a zombie drop(beta 1.7.3 and earlier)

Peaceful mob spawning, old tree decaying, zombies dropping feathers and pigmen dropping porkchops.

infinite burning logs
lololol

The old no-biome terrain generator. From Alpha. And the old light green leaves. Those I miss :'(

Automatic rapidfire bows... with a good triggerfinger.
Old terrain generation with huge cliffs and mountains
Infinitely powered looping minecarts
Food healing HEALTH
kindof miss the redstone + glowstone combination
and zombies dropping feathers

edit: not to mention all the world generation options from indev and infdev such as island, mainland, skyworld, hell, tall world, and i think there was a only daytime generation

Finite burn, and glowstone + redstone

Unerfed fire spread, the Alpha terrain generater, gravel beaches, and spamming arrows.

1.6.6 Beta Terrain Generator, most of all.

And also when passive mobs actually spawned. Now one of the first things you have to do is make a wheat farm. :/

biome like gravel lakes and the frist house i ever made

I started in 1.2, but I probably would hate before 1.7 when there weren't any generated structures (well other than dungeons).

The ability to actually plant and grow mushrooms in the Overworld

Gravel beaches and green swamps. I was so sad when I downloaded 1.9 pre release and my beautiful swamp house suddenly looked disgusting from the brown grass.

zombies dropping feather

because now you need either a skeleton farm
or a chicken farm

for arrows

I miss not having single player commands so i wont cheat on survival mode!

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who misses gravel beaches. I started in 1.6 right before 1.7 got uploaded and I spawned on a beautiful gravel beach that I really enjoyed. I played on that world for a long time but then 1.8 came. My world ended up getting corrupted and that was before I understood the importance of making a backup :'(

*Gravel beaches
*Zombies dropping feathers
*Infinite peaceful mob spawnings when I could actually walk into my forest and be lucky enough to run into a pink sheep :')
*The world generation before 1.8
*A world before biomes came around. I miss having ALL-green grass. 1.8 swamp biomes were okay.
*I for one really enjoyed the armor calculations.
*Pre-Enchantments/potions: I think enchantments only came around because of mobs having a higher health. Things were fine before.
*1.7.3 in general. Once 1.8 hit, my game crashed if I tried to run minecraft with far render distance and/or fast graphics. I haven't found a fix for this yet.
*Most of all, I miss the first save file I started with. I always remember it when I play.

Needless to say, I still play the current version because I don't want to be left behind. If there was a 1.7 server with a good amount of players though, I'd play on it. All these are reasons why I'm tempted to buy a refurbished Xbox 360 just for minecraft 1.6 without bugs.

- Old Pre-Halloween-Update Grass colours; It was so happy and inviting
- Zombies dropping Feathers
- The not having an...End. (No pun intended) It was almost a bonus in an odd sense knowing that the game never has an end, and that you craft (pun intended) your own adventure.
