Disambig color.svg This article is about Java Edition features mentioned by Mojang developers. For features that are currently being added, see Planned versions. For mentioned features in other editions, see Mentioned features.

Since the beginning of Minecraft's development, there have been a number of features that were mentioned by Mojang AB developers. 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.

Planned

These features are planned to come to Minecraft sometime in the future, in an update that has not yet been determined.

Combat change

Jeb revealed this to a participant in the MineCon Earth costume contest, who later revealed it to the Minecraft Community on a Reddit post.[1] Blocking will no longer be activated by using; sneaking or walking backwards will activate it instead. This was later mentioned again in a tweet by Docm77, saying that "the combat system will get a major overhaul."[2]

Off-hand changes

Changes with the off-hand slot added in 1.9 are also planned on being added to Minecraft sometime in the future.[1] Specifically, the player will no longer be able to attack or place blocks with any item in their off-hand slot. However, players will still be able to hold items in the off-hand slot, which still makes the off-hand useful for maps and such. Also, blocking will still be able to be activated if the player is holding a shield in their off-hand. However, this regression was later retracted due to massive community backlash.

New settings

Docm77 confirmed in a tweet that sometime in the future, two new graphics settings will be added to Minecraft: "fancy" and "super fancy."[2]

Biome updates

During MineCon Earth 2018, viewers could vote on which biome they wanted to update, mainly between Taiga, Savanna, and Desert. Taiga ended up being the winner, while Savanna, which had been planned to have baobabs, termites, and ostriches; and Desert, with its palm trees and meerkats; all planned to be added in later updates.

Partially implemented

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

Dirt slab

A dirt slab.
Dirt slabs.

Before stone slabs were added to Classic 0.27 SURVIVAL TEST, Notch ran a test using dirt slabs replacing dirt blocks.[3]

Dyed planks

Colored planks.

Dinnerbone asked Twitter how they would feel about colored planks.[4] He announced the results as being, "30% 'please no', 80% 'yes please'. Yes, that's 110%. I don't even know."[5] Despite this, he canceled the idea and instead added hardened clay, which can be dyed. The dyed planks were abandoned after Dinnerbone realized they would also require slabs and stairs. The six existing wood species eventually got doors and fences, fence gates, buttons, trapdoors and pressure plates.

Lantern

Lanterns were crafted blocks originally planned to be added in the Halloween Update. However, they were delayed due to lack of time and were going to be implemented in a future update.[6]

With the addition of the lantern, torches would flicker out and need to be re-lit with flint and steel. The lantern would serve as a permanent source of light. According to Notch, when the update would occur, all torches placed on the map, in the inventory, and in chests (tile entities) prior to the update would be converted to lanterns. To do this, the lanterns would use the (former) block ID of torches along with a re-skin.

On January 13, 2011, Notch claimed that lanterns were "postponed",[7] and added on January 20 that he was "not sure" when they would be implemented.[8] Notch announced on November 18, 2011, at the Mojang Panel at MineCon 2011, that lanterns would not be added to Minecraft due to large negative community response towards the effects the new item would have had on torches. Instead, other types of lighting would be added,[9] such as redstone lamps and glowstone.[10]

Sea lanterns were added in 1.8 snapshot 14w25a, with the addition of ocean monuments. However, these sea lanterns did not make any change to how torches function; they can still be lit up for infinity.

Lectern

The Lectern was an old project of Dinnerbone's. It was meant to be a stand for books so you could easily read them. He was well on his way to creating it when he encountered problems and scrapped the idea, but mentioned that he might pick up work on the lectern in the near future.[11] Dinnerbone stated in his Reddit AMA on December 18, 2013 that he had revisited lecterns, but scrapped them again as "something about them just didn't feel right".[12]

On October 18, 2018, Dinnerbone confirmed that lecterns are again in development.[13] This suggests they'll be added in a near future update.

Sky Dimension

Main article: Java Edition mentioned features/Sky dimension
A plain sky dimension.

The Sky Dimension was a planned dimension in Minecraft, intended to be the opposite of the Nether. It was ultimately replaced by the End.

With the addition of the Buffet functionality in 1.13 snapshot 18w15a, this can be recreated by using the "Floating Islands" option.

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 no longer work on Minecraft.

Audio loops

Audio loops have not yet been added to the game, but may be implemented to play when the player is in a specific location (In caves, forests, oceans, and beside a waterfall). This has been partially added in 1.4 with the addition of lava and water ambient sounds. Loop sounds have been partially added for underwater areas in snapshot 18w10a.

Friends list

Notch mentioned on his blog, The Word of Notch, that friends lists would be added after Beta 1.8.[14] The Minecraft documentary team of 2 Player Productions filmed a Keynote roadmap, containing these lines.[15][16] Kristoffer mentioned on Twitter that he is currently working on friends lists for Scrolls, then for other Mojang games. These will be available for players with Mojang accounts. At MineCon 2012 Jeb stated that it would be a large implementation on the server side and will be used for all Mojang games, and that is a big project.[17][18]

Lua scripting

Lua Scripting was a feature mentioned by Notch as a way to create server side modifications.[19]

Players will not have to download scripts within or outside of the client, and therefore no client-side modifications will be necessary.

The server would be able to create custom commands, assign certain server functions to blocks, and create user groups.

Notch has said that he wanted Lua to be an extension for Minecraft. He does not want Lua to turn Minecraft into a game engine. Essentially, Lua, although a nice addition, will not revolutionize game-play in Minecraft.

Resource packs

Erik Broes mentioned that there may be easier customization of chat and sheep colors.[20]

Ryan Holtz stated that he wanted to improve the rendering system to allow for customizable models and animations.[21][22] Dinnerbone later stated that player models would not be able to be changed.[23]

Panda

Dinnerbone once tweeted about pandas in response to the question "If you could code any mob into the game, what would it be?"

Dinnerbone-twitter.png “ Pandas. I already tried playing with them, but I still need to get used to skinning and animating things. „
— Dinnerbone[24]

On December 18, 2013, on Reddit, Dinnerbone answered the question "If you could add one feature to Minecraft without the hassle of coding or modeling, just anything, and you wouldn't need anyone's permission: What do?".

“ Pandas. „
— Dinnerbone[25]

On September 29, 2018, during MINECON Earth 2018, pandas were revealed to be added to 1.14.

Red dragon

Notch revealed during the 8th Seecret Friday Update that he would add dragons, one being the ender dragon, the other being red dragons.[26] Jeb informed participants of his AMA on Reddit that he would add red dragons, but was unsure exactly how.[27] The red dragon has not subsequently been added.

On October 22, 2013, Dinnerbone tweeted that the red dragon is "shelved" and not in development.

Dinnerbone-twitter.png “ It was never promised, we have no plans to add a red dragon at this time. „
— Dinnerbone [28]

Later, on December 15, 2013, Dinnerbone wrote on Reddit that there will be red dragons in Minecraft one day.

“ I'm sure one day there will be. Not right now though. „
— Dinnerbone[29]

Seasons

Dinnerbone mentioned on Twitter that he was experimenting with adding seasons, and varying the length of day and night according to season. He also mentioned it during MineCon 2013.[30][31] Seasons may include changes in color of tree leaves and may also be tied to real time.[32][33]

Spike block

Spikes received a mention in mid-2009 by Notch in a blog post.[34] These were originally planned for Beta 1.7, working by extending and retracting spikes (and making them more "spike pistons" than anything), but were replaced by sticky pistons. On May 28, 2012, Dinnerbone stated that he'd like to add spike blocks, but is unsure of how to implement them.[35]

Inventory changes

An inventory rewrite was originally added in the snapshot 14w17a for 1.8, but a roadblock was hit and they had to shelve it before the release of 1.8.[36] Other changes to the inventory have been mentioned, including spectators can now look at people's inventory, visible health/armor bar on all players,[37], seeing players' GUI when spectating from their POV[38] and the return of shift-double-clicking.[39][40]

Steel

Multiple references to steel were made early on in the game's development. Notch had stated that it could be made using coal and iron ore,[41] and that it could be used for armor and weapons more powerful than iron.[42] In-game, the flint and steel is crafted using raw iron.

Brief mentions

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

It's just cleaner to have generic support for the off-hand slot than adding a special-case the player class only."[124]
  • Making it so shields are used to block attacks from the side the shield is held on.[125]
  • A mob which camouflages with its environment - when developing the Shulker mob, Jeb initially had it so that the mob would camouflage with the surroundings, but due to difficulties with the code and rendering, he decided to abandon this element of the mob, but stated that it may happen in the future.[126]

Joke features

Snapshot 12marc40awesome, a joke snapshot by Marc Watson.

Notch and other Mojang AB employees have frequently joked about adding various features to the game.

  • Searge jokingly stated that due to the fact that people didn't dislike the changes in the 15w42a snapshot, he would add a fuel requirement to crafting tables.[153]
  • Koalas in tanks riding on planes with laser rifles was jokingly added to the "maybe later" list by Searge.[154]
  • Hot dogs.[155][156]
  • Herobrine. In every new major Minecraft update like Halloween Update, Adventure Update, Pretty Scary Update, Redstone Update, Horse Update, The Update That Changed The World, The Bountiful Update, The Combat Update, The Frostburn Update, The Exploration Update, The World of Color Update, and Update Aquatic, it says "removed Herobrine", but Herobrine was never implemented. This has also appeared in the changelog for Scrolls version 0.103.0.[157]
  • When Hardcore mode was announced, a joke screenshot of "Ultra Hardcore Mode" was shown, where death would revoke an account's premium status.[158]
  • Jeb joked about adding chips if 100% of the community agreed on what type the chips would be.[159]
  • Marc joked about adding Top Hats for 1.4.[160]
  • Partially implemented: A snapshot named 12marc40awesome containing various joke features such as volcanoes, more dragons, coral, fish, and fish blocks.[161] Partially added in 1.13 with fish mobs and corals.
  • Pine cones.[162]
  • Dinnerbone joked about adding dwarves when asked about it.[163]
  • SethBling mentioned a downside of command blocks on one of his livestreams, and Dinnerbone joked about removing command blocks to accommodate him.[164]
  • Dinnerbone joked that Minecraft pizza would be a good idea to add, and as a joke KrisJelbring states pizza is confirmed to be added.[165]
  • Mojang has made several April Fools jokes:
    • In 2011, the locked chest or "Steve Co. Supply Crate" was temporarily added which "allowed" various micro-transactions in the game.
    • In 2013, Mojang released Minecraft 2.0 which contained features such as pink withers and redstone bugs.[166]
    • In 2014, the default sounds were replaced with a voice (specifically, that of ElementAnimation, a famous YouTuber group known for making several popular videos about Minecraft) saying the name of the sound's source, the music was replaced with a rendition of the title theme of the TV series Game of Thrones (consisting of the word "door" repeated to the tune of the music), and everyone's skins were replaced with modified versions of the villager textures, edited to fit the player model. This was all blamed on the villagers.
    • In 2015, Mojang released 15w14a, which made all the mobs in the game friendly and loving.
    • In 2016, Mojang released 1.RV-Pre1, which added trendy items of 2016.
    • In 2017, the Mine & Craft Digital Leisure Device was announced on the Minecraft website.
    • In 2018, Mojang released an 8-bit resource pack to 1.12.x and versions from 17w43a to 18w11a clients.

  61. ↑ “@OhHaiMe It will not update if you leave the map area. It only maps the top level now, but cave maps is an interesting idea..” – @notch, April 27, 2011
  62. ↑ a b “The code I write to support that will also be possible to reuse in the future for things like books and notes written by players, and possibly even custom paintings/hand drawn signs.” – Notch, April 27, 2011
  63. ↑ “@Maxwilso As soon as I've made preparations for more texture space” – @jeb_, February 9, 2012
  64. ↑ “I haven't looked at this yet. I'm afraid it will add a lot of complexity to the redstone code, but it's definitely doable. It's one of those "later" things.” – u/jeb_, April 4, 2012
  65. ↑ “Question: "Is there going to be an external folder we can just drop the 'schematics' in?" Answer: "That would have been very neat. Would also be cool if the schematics were online and shared automatically, kind of like Spore's creatures. On the question of when, I don't know."” – u/jeb_, April 4, 2012
  66. ↑ “@MinecraftTeachr Let me guess the 'worse': You can only edit at the end of a page =( Didn't have time for multi-line editing this week” – @jeb_, April 26, 2012
  67. ↑ “Silk touch yields two single slabs from a double slab block, equivalent to normal pickaxe usage. This may or may not change. #Minecraft” – @EvilSeph, May 3, 2012
  68. ↑ “*If* we add it for multiplayer, it'd probably be an op-only /pause with an optional automatic pause when everyone's in a menu.” – @Dinnerbone, May 4, 2012
  69. ↑ “@Puremin0rez Pause the whole server. Everyone would see a screen saying "the server is paused because so and so", with chat until unpaused” – @Dinnerbone, May 4, 2012

  74. ↑ “Coding some new mobstuffs. This is hilarious. He has no clothes! :(” – @Dinnerbone, August 13, 2012
  75. ↑ “Working on a very old but popular minecraft suggestion that keeps popping up every so often; I put my new mob on hold for now.” – @Dinnerbone, August 14, 2012
  76. ↑ “@123sendodo No. I've shelved that mob for now.” – @Dinnerbone, September 14, 2012
  77. ↑ “I'm considering a change to maps to allow them to support more colours and texpack customizations, but back-compat would be difficult... Hm.” – @Dinnerbone, August 27, 2012
  78. ↑ “@Brail4 Hard to do "properly". Working on it, but no guarantees.” – @Dinnerbone, August 28, 2012
  79. ↑ “@crash_nick Likely not, but I was considering reusing that space for something else!” – @Dinnerbone, September 26, 2012

  88. ↑ “@BlackDragon17x I've actually done so in a separate branch, but it's buggy and needs work still. Won't say no, but don't expect it for 1.8.” – @TheMogMiner, November 7, 2013
  89. ↑ “@WesCook There's plans to!” – @Dinnerbone, November 19, 2013
  90. ↑ “@ShuraShpilkin not yet, but you just made me realise a nice feature I could add that should make that possible with a ResourcePack. Thanks!” – @_grum, December 1, 2013
  91. ↑ “Analyzing block placement creates some really hard-to-read and slow code... That's the main reason why a "village house" is just a door. We hope to add better systems for analyzing constructions in the future, but changing the bookshelf layout is not our main priority.” – u/jeb_, December 17, 2013
  92. ↑ “Enchantment that changes blocking could be fun, but I think that could better fit a different system I hope to be working on soon.” – u/Dinnerbone, December 18, 2013
  93. ↑ “I hope so, but it's really taxing from a technical standpoint.” – u/Dinnerbone, December 18, 2013
  94. ↑ “Yes, with the plugin API. I'd love emotes, I'd love to include support for them (with animations) but they're tricky to do right now. I tell you what; I'll look into a hug animation when I can!” – u/dinnerbone, December 19, 2013

  98. ↑ “@SaiferMc I plan to!” – @Dinnerbone, February 7, 2014
  99. ↑ “I do have an Ultimate Plan™ with endermites, but it will wait. May also include dragon egg but I haven't discussed this with the team yet.” – @Dinnerbone, March 13, 2014
  100. ↑ “@Brail4 No problem! We're rewriting the inventory system + the keybind system to make stuff like this possible, but I can't guarantee when..” – @Dinnerbone, March 20, 2014
  101. ↑ “@cazzar99 Which bug? Building our own soundengine is on the todo list :(” – @_grum, April 9, 2014
  102. ↑ “@stonepa11 Challenge accepted!” – @TheMogMiner, April 13, 2014
  103. ↑ “I hear you there. It would be nice to make the terrain generation and terrain rendering multithreaded, but the code isn't quite decoupled enough yet to make such a thing easy. It's somewhere on the road map, though.” – u/TheMogMiner, April 24, 2014
  104. ↑ “Yeah, chunk loading is a pretty personal bugbear for me. ...” – u/TheMogMiner, June 7, 2014

  107. ↑ “It's not easy to make it work in survival, will discuss options tomorrow to see if we find a nice solution.” – @SeargeDP, June 9, 2014
  108. ↑ “The plan is to eventually have every text that can be displayed on the screen use the text component system, then using § won't be necessary anymore. But that's still work in progress and I don't know exactly when we will finish this task.” – u/Searge, August 7, 2015
  109. ↑ “@TABII98_1911 Yup, can you send me a DM with the pictures?” – @TheMogMiner, July 12, 2014
  110. ↑ “@TABII98_1911 Probably not in this snapshot, but remind me on Friday.” – @TheMogMiner, July 2, 2014
  111. ↑ “@Summanistweets won't be cubic chunks perse. But that will be the unit of storage.” – @_grum, July 17, 2014
  112. ↑ “Yesh yesh y'all http://i.imgur.com/bgm4lpW.png” – @TheMogMiner, June 17, 2014

  117. ↑ “@joshnoodle98 No idea what you are doing, but I'm definitely hinting at a marker entity in the future.” – @SeargeDP, August 25, 2014
  118. ↑ “OAuth is still on our todo list, but it's not a high priority right now (or rather, we have a bunch of higher priority things which need to come first) sorry” – u/Dinnerbone, November 25, 2014
  119. ↑ “Next xmas?” – u/jeb_, December 14, 2014
  120. ↑ “Question: @Dinnerbone Is it or will it be possible to set the world border center-point to slowly move? Travelling UHC mode would be cool. Answer: @WorkdayLobster I do want to add this.” – @Dinnerbone, April 24, 2014
  121. ↑ “@Spenny1425 Well, maybe not nachos, but corn could be a fun food source” – @jeb_, Jan 13, 2015
  122. ↑ “@searous Maybe, but we also like the mystery” – @jeb_, February 10, 2015

This will be fixed fully in a later release." – Dinnerbone, April 17, 2015
  124. ↑ “There are no plans right now for entities to use that slot, but it might be a potential change in the future. It's just cleaner to have generic support for the off-hand slot than adding a special-case the player class only.” – u/Searge, June 15, 2015

  130. ↑ “I have plans, prototyped them, ran into problems, might have a solution ... but can only work on it after the structural changes I want to do in 1.10 :D Also no spoilers! Though those would be fun on a minecart, along with some flame decals =D” – u/_Grum, October 21, 2015
  131. ↑ “Question: "Will seamless slabs and bark blocks be obtaineble in 1.10?" _Grum: "With setblock? Yes. As item? Perhaps if we find a good recipe."” – u/_Grum, November 29, 2015
  132. ↑ “@alphaxseven @Dinnerbone @SeargeDP I think we will phase out the furnace minecraft” – @jeb_, February 15, 2016
  133. ↑ “I like this idea! That doesn't mean it will get added right now, though. Two issues; maybe a little too niche, and where would it live? ;)” – u/jeb_, May 16, 2016

  138. ↑ “Just posting this here so you don't think we nicked the idea from the community: There is a "Pillager" illager on our planned TODO list. It's not going to be a pirate, though.” – u/jeb_, March 27, 2017
  139. ↑ “Other ones we considered:
    • Drillager, he comes and pokes holes in things.
    • Fillager, he fixes the previous guys stuff.
    • Thrillager, really likes heights and scary things.
    • Killager, but we kinda already have that.
    • Spillager, prevents you from drinking potions.
    • Stillager, just stands around blocking important doorways.
    • Millager, the only hard working one of the bunch.”     – u/Dinnerbone, March 27, 2017

    “But after 1.13” – u/_Grum, May 15, 2018
  149. ↑ "Would you really not consider holding off 1.13 until customised worlds are finished? Seems pretty crazy to set a precedent for the chance of losing features for several updates.
    We came so close to having access to customising structures in world gen this update too, a shame that hasn't made the cut" – u/DaUltraMarine
