General

Inventory hotbar had a smaller look and contained 8 item slots, with a 9th functioning as an Minecraft:inventory button.
Blocks in the item form use their own block texture (if there are several, then side texture).

Older versions

Mojang demo

An older version of the Demo is known to exist.<ref name=":0" /> Made on May 25, 2011, this version has a few differences from the version showcased at E3 2011.

Known differences from the version showcased at E3 include:

This version lacks an inventory button, instead a Minecraft:block of iron is in the 8th slot, with the Minecraft:ladder on the 9th slot instead of the 8th slot.
When the crosshair is facing a block in this version, a white overlay is not shown.
The Minecraft:water texture appears to be different from the version showcased at E3, however this might just be due to hardware.
TNT is obtainable in this version, despite being unobtainable in the E3 demo.

Sony Ericsson demo

A separate Sony Ericsson development version was shown on June 2, 2011.

Changes from the earlier Mojang demo include:

Inventory buttons added
TNT can be placed without edits and explodes

Trivia

The inventory and hotbar block icons were seen in 2D instead of 3D.
The rose was going to be identical to Minecraft:Java Edition's rose, but was replaced with a cyan texture because of hardware issues.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> Using the red rose texture on an Xperia Play device causes noticeable ghosting of red pixels.
The first internal version only had an ASCII renderer.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>
