This updates continues bringing  new features and improvements to the 0.9 update, Check out the new Nela biome and tree type, Farming, Natural time progression, new Items, Entity and mob shadows and more!

Beta 3 Changelog:

• Added Nela biome and Tree type: Enjoy the new biome, The new tree type is not exclusive to the Nela biome though, you can find it generating in other biomes too!
• Added Farming: You can turn grassy blocks into Farmlands by right clicking on them with a shovel, Then you can plant seeds on these Farmlands to start farming them. You can harvest the fully grown plant by right clicking on it with a Crop Harvester. You can randomly get wheat seeds while breaking grassy blocks.
• Added natural time progression to the game in the form of game ticks. Now Dirt may randomly turn into Grass or Snow if any of them are neighboring it, Crops may grow randomly or by the scheduled tick. More functionality will be added to other blocks as well.
• Added new shuffler item which can be crafted using Extracted Diamond + Gods Hand. Will shuffle nearby blocks randomly when used, have a percentage of breaking on each use, and can be repaired by combining the broken shuffler with another extracted diamond.
• Rewritten the save system, hopefully for the last time. The new system serializes data into a single save file, instead of saving each entry individually. This also allows the game to save new data into the save file without making it incompatible with older versions. The new system though is incompatible with older (0.9 Beta 2 and before) versions.
• Updated the mouse controller, it should be much more fluid and responsive when looking up or down and turning the camera.
• Revamped dropped entities code, added new animations for them, and improved their performance. Dropped items and blocks now get saved in the save file.
• Improved the Inventory UI, fixed it's bugs, and made the block/item list  accessible in normal (non-creative) mode.
• Seed number now gets stored in the save file, and is shown again once reloaded.
• Holding 'shift' while clicking on items in the creative menu will add 16 of the selected item to the inventory.
• Re-written a lot of backend systems and functions to both extend their functionality and improve their performance.
• Lots of bug fixes and quality improvements.

Also this Beta adds new possibilities for mods, now you can add your own blocks and items to the game, Tutorial and more info on this soon!
