"Herobrine Removed" has been added to a number changelogs. Herobrine is a character from a Minecraft "creepypasta" who looks exactly like the player, but has white eyes. It is said that Herobrine is Notch's dead brother, although Notch said himself that he does not have a dead brother. Herobrine never appeared in the game, and it's likely that this line being added to the changelogs is just a joke with the community.

The in-game NPC Villagers, often referred to as Testificates, were originally planned to be Pigmen, much like the Nether mobs. (Except not undead.) They would have the standard player model like Zombies and Zombie Pigmen, but with a Pig's skin. The second Skin Pack for the Xbox 360 version contains a Pigman skin as a slight nod to this.

Originally, zombies used to drop feathers when killed. This was the result of Notch, the developer of Minecraft at the time, not knowing what zombies should drop.

The creepers were based on a failed model of a pig. The length and the height of the pig model were accidentally inverted, resulting in a tall mid section with small legs.
"I don't have any modeling programs to do the models, I just write them in code. And I accidentally made them (the creepers) tall instead of long, so it was like a tall thing with four little feet. And that became the creeper. As opposed to a pig." - Minecraft creator 'Notch'

When enchanting an item, the strange symbols used to describe the kind of enchantment is actually a direct usage of the Standard Galactic Alphabet from the Commander Keen series for DOS.
The texts respectively read "Well Played Internets You Are Good", "These Names Will Be Random And Confusing" and "Each Spell Costs Experience Levels" describing the function of the enchantment table.
