This article is about features mentioned by Mojang developers. For Features currently being added, see Planned versions § Pocket Edition.

Many features have been mentioned for inclusion in the Pocket Edition. These features are either currently planned for the next update, but have not yet appeared in a development version, or have simply been dropped or forgotten about.

Note that this page only documents features that were mentioned but are not yet in the game. Features in development versions are described on the parent version page.

Skins & capes

Skins will have the same format as in PC and will be customizable.[1][2]

Far biome

  • A version exclusive Far biome, found at the edge of finite worlds was going to be implemented in 0.9.0 but got delayed.[3][4][5][6]

Replacement of the Nether Reactor

Johan mentioned on the issue tracker that the Nether Reactor may be replaced in the future.[7][8][9][10] Via the MCPE subreddit - Johan stated that the next iteration of the Nether Reactor will be some kind of "super dungeon" and that the Nether dimension is not currently on their radar. In reply to a comment on reddit, Tomasso stated he thought about it for 0.9.0. When the topic was brought up in the BlockTalk Q&A, Tomasso stated that he doesn't know how to deal with the Nether yet but that it “shouldn’t be that bad in the end… could be doable”.[9] He stated that if the nether is implemented, the “Nether Reactor will do something different to what it does right now” On Tomasso's todo list, the Nether is listed.[6]

Paddles and improved boats

Boats were initially going to be completely overhauled from the PC version, initially slated to be added in 0.10.0.[11] They were to include paddles for moving the boat[12][13]. The new boats would also have a different crafting recipe.[14]

Biome-based difficulty

Tomasso stated on reddit that he would like to add a "difficulty" number that mobs could have depending on their circumstances, such as recource that it spawns from and weather.[15] This would vary the amount of hostile mobs at night and the amount of recources gained from each biome. He also stated that he would like more biome-specific mobs as well as biomes with specific difficulty/mob distributions.
