I mean I believe when they added pistons they took inspiration from a mod; however didn't copy it. So I would agree with smoregoth.

As to newer updates, from actually playing them I would say the biggest things about them are actually being able to swim (something I think looks amazing, and feels awesome as well), the concrete (cause it allows untextured blocks for huge builds) and elytras. I dislike the combat a bit in 1.9, but don't abhor it. I personally think that people normally don't like change unless it is change that is for sure positive, which is the reason why I feel people don't like newer updates. I know they aren't super cool, but there are definitely some good things that come from em.
