The game will be updated soon to the 1.8.2 version, which includes the hunger bar, other foods, endermen(and the story mode) NPC villages and strongholds, xp orbs, etc.. 4j studios has not announced a specific date, but did say it'll be about another month as they are adding stuff from v. 1.9 to the v. 1.8.2 release.
