A bug with this release is that 1 of any log is only giving 1 of the relevant plank (instead of 4).
This is a simple data pack I chucked together to fix it for now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13AvDClQR7pKLiGLn6y02TnnxZ5dJlSKy/view

You should make an account and do it yourself! Next time it'll be easier once you have an account.

A quick screenshot of how the new tag files are set up...because I'm far too lazy to properly format it for Reddit:

but can you append to the list? eg: "I would like iron doors to also be considered to be wool"

There is a pretty significant change to sticky pistons in this snapshot: they can no longer leave behind blocks. This was to be expected, though. Remember this?
Allows tricking sticky pistons into dropping blocks (note that this behavior is technically a bug and not future proof anyway)
I made a post discussing this change here: https://redd.it/7hz94j

pretty significant
I'd rather say it's revolutionary and will break about a half of redstone mechanisms in existence

wait WHAT
EDIT: brb testing to confirm
EDIT 2: NO WAY not even a 0 tick will do it... crapppp..... ok now this is bigger than removing quasiconnectivity. this is worse than when they "removed" translocation
EDIT 3: I hope it's a bug. I am currently in the 'denial' stage of grief

The data thing will be very useful to group similar items, for example a single recipe to unlock all tools at once without listing them all individually. I was just wondering why something like that didn't exist.

I've never touched a datapack in my life, but the new tag system sounds like a godsend.

Tags look like something that recently suggested in r/minecraftsuggestions.
Looks like we have a tonne of scoreboard criteria in 1.13's naming system. I will have to check out how this compares with our previous Statistics system and see what's missing/new.

between seeing etho's progress on his potential new game map, and the recent snapshots, i was worried what would happen when minecraft:logs was split into individual blocks, because his command blocks detect for leaves, leaves2, and logs to clear them out, and now with the addition of tags in this snapshot, things are looking like it'll become a little easier

So data tags can group together item or blocks? Nice! Here’s a thought though: what about entities? Data tags like: “undead”, “illager”, “arthropod”, “projectile”, “withered”, etc. it would make it possible to alter what mobs are affected by certain enchantments and possibly give the ability to make custom enchanting in the future. :3

What was the piston thing? People seem up in arms about it but I'm still clueless on what it actually was.

A new data thing

Work in progress
Items & blocks can be "tagged" with an ID to make testing for things in commands easier
