Revision as of 17:56, 3 March 2021

This article is about features mentioned by Mojang developers. For features currently being added, see Planned versions § Bedrock Edition.
Information icon
This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition. 

Many features have been mentioned for inclusion in in Bedrock Edition.

This page documents features that have been mentioned but are not yet in the game. Features in development versions are described on the parent version page.

Planned

Mojang plans to implement the following features, although a particular version has not been announced.

RenderDragon

Main article: RenderDragon

A new graphics engine called RenderDragon is planned to be added. It adds more graphics options and improve the performance of the game.[1] Minecraft Earth, as well as Bedrock on Windows 10, PS4 and Xbox One, currently run on RenderDragon.[2]

On Windows 10, the game will allow ray tracing.[3] They also plan on expanding it to other platforms capable of DirectX, and if RenderDragon gets implemented to Java Edition, it may also get ray tracing.

Minecraft may be ported to the Xbox Series X|S, which would support ray tracing.[4]

Frogs/Swamp Update

On January 5, 2016, Tommaso tweeted that it might be cool to add frogs.[5] This idea was mentioned again in the biome vote at MINECON Live 2019, as part of the Swamp Update so frogs will come in a later unknown update.

Flattening

Main article: Official pages/Bedrock Edition flattening

In Java Edition 1.13, many IDs were changed, and numerical IDs were removed. This process, known as The Flattening, is also planned for Bedrock Edition. Certain items and blocks will be added as well such as spectral arrows and air variants.

Combat changes

See also: Java Edition Combat Tests

Changes to Java Edition's combat system is planned for Bedrock as well.[6]

Fletching table functionality

Fletching tables will gain functionality in a later update, planned for both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.

Voted updates

The desert and savanna biome reworks are the two remaining biome reworks from the MINECON Earth 2018 biome chooser vote. Both biomes are promised to be updated in a future update:[7][8]

  • Deserts will be given palm trees, oases, and meerkats.
  • Savannas will be given baobab trees, termites, and ostriches.

The badlands and swamp biome reworks are the two remaining biome reworks from the MINECON Live 2019 biome vote. Both biomes are promised to be updated in a future update:

  • Badlands will be given vultures, tumbleweed, and a new cacti based on the Prickly Pear.
  • Swamps will be given frogs, mangrove trees, and boats with chests.

The Moobloom and the Iceologer are the two remaining mobs from the Minecraft Live 2020 mob vote. Both mobs could come in an unknown future update as stated by LadyAgnes.[9]

Partially implemented

These features had been shown by a Mojang staff member, but either had no further development or were canceled shortly after.

Paddle

On September 19, 2014, Tommaso stated that when adding boats to Pocket Edition, he would add a "paddle" item,[10] which would be required to move boats.[11] Paddles were never implemented as items, but rather as part of the boat model. Additionally, the crafting recipe requires a wooden shovel to represent the paddle in Bedrock Edition. It is not part of the crafting recipe in Java edition.

Minecart with Furnace

On January 23, 2016, Tommaso stated that he'd like to add minecart with furnace, but is unsure of how to implement.[citation needed]

Mentioned

These features were mentioned at one point, but later abandoned or their current status is unknown. Note that some of these features were mentioned by developers who either no longer work at Mojang, or Minecraft.

World generation

There have been a number of mentioned changes to world generation from the developers. Tommasso had planned a Far biome, found at the edge of infinite worlds was going to be implemented in 0.9.0 but was delayed for unknown reasons.[12][13][14][15] He also proposed a unique underworld underground structure[16] and a dream dimension,[17] however none of these ideas came to fruition.

Tommaso stated on Reddit that he would like to add a "difficulty" number that mobs could have depending on their circumstances, such as resource that it spawns from and weather.[18] This would vary the amount of hostile mobs at night and the amount of resources gained from each biome. He also stated that he would like more biome-specific mobs as well as biomes with specific difficulty/mob distributions.

Many of these ideas were reiterated again at MINECON 2016, where the developers stated they could either port the world generation changes from PC or create a new world generation altogether. They said this new world generation system could have a better progression over time with harder biomes further from spawn, more space underground, possibly raising the sea level to y=96 and making the terrain less predictable.[19]

Interface/controls

At MINECON 2016, the developers mentioned potential future improvements to the controls to make them vector-based, allowing full mouse support on Android and having better in-built controller support.[19]

In addition, at a previous panel, they also mentioned the ability to remap long touch to hardness-based touch (3D Touch) for capable iPhones.[17]

In a Twitch stream previewing the Nintendo Switch version, the developers mentioned that they would like to look into adding motion-controlled aiming, but currently have no plans to add it.[20]

Other world sizes

Tommasso stated on reddit that they may make other limited world sizes available, in addition to the current Old world type (256×256). Mentioned world sizes were 1000×1000 and 10000×10000.[21] The addition of different world sizes was again mentioned at MINECON 2016.[19]

Loading external files on console

Roger Carpenter talked about this in a stream of the 1.2 beta for Xbox One.[22] They would like for the console versions to support the loading of files from external media such as a USB stick. This would allow the use of Add-Ons, custom worlds, skins and resource packs, etcetera, like on the other platforms. However, console companies are worried about "security issues" that this could cause. Other games that loaded content from external media have sometimes been exploited by hackers to run unauthorized code on consoles. If loading Add-Ons from external media is not an option, they will "work it out some other way".

These features were briefly mentioned, but no further information was given after that.
