Toggle Touchscreen? YES!

Plugin API Obfuscation
I heard that for the Plugin API, the obfuscation would not change. Is this true, and if it is can it be said so in the article? 5.13.16.180 19:03, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

What?
Why are they planning limited maps? Is it like something you toggle or is it just plain out every world is limited? If it's something you toggle I like it, but if it's not then WHY? Zeeman 17:53, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * If it's still happening, it'll be a toggle, no two ways around it. You can calm down. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:42, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Question
this is kind of off topic, but there was something on this page about "a new biome, rumors suggest a city biome" in 1.6 a month or so ago. can anyone confirm or deny this? Lucius101 19:58, 21 February 2013 (UTC)Lucius101


 * A month or so ago? You added that yesterday and it was promptly removed. Rumors, unconfirmed additions, suggestions, and other junk do not belong here.  22:38, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Release date
My phone would not allow me to add an edit summary or select one of my presets, and it submitted the change somehow. Anyways, about my recent edit, the tweet said "early March". Do not guess any dates based on the "roughly two weeks". It is "early March" unless a new reference is used. 21:41, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

The release date of 1.5 is March the 7th, and that is TOMORROW! Meeples10 22:01, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I take it back, the release is the 13th (unless they change it AGAIN). Meeples10 21:53, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Dubious Content
Why are Notch's comments from years ago treated as authoritative statements of Minecraft's future? Very old comments and those from people no longer working on minecraft should not be given full credibility. 108.220.161.85 11:21, 1 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I would agree on this. Especially content which is referenced from Get Satisfaction, which is no longer used. Also, content which claims that Notch is working on something, or that Notch said he would add something, is also fairly dubious, as Notch does not work on Minecraft. –   Goandgoo ᐸ  Talk  Contribs  Edit count 11:48, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Planned features... will they ever happen, mojang?
I was just thinking about all of the planned feature's Mojang has confirmed... it seems that nearly none of them have been implemented.... Red Dragons, dragon lairs, Skylands (which may not be an upcoming feature,but has been stated by notch as " in development"), rainbow crystaline caves,server portals, audio loops, fish, birds... what ever happened to these? did mojang just mark them as planned to satisfy the public? it would be great if we could find out why nothing is happening. I know they are adding new features all the time, but i think it is essential they have an update which will include the feature's marked as planned... would be great to hear some feedback. Sam9801 23:55, 5 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Sign your posts. Also, about the Skylands, they are not a planned feature at all. Gavin79746 22:03, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I kind of see your point with satisfying the public. But what will they do when the public questions them about not putting the features in? PrinceCooshie101 02:09, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

1.5.1 release date
Mojang has announced that 1.5.1 has a tentative release date of Thursday, March 21, 2013. 99.107.199.30 00:04, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Squiggly blobs
I think this a joke...KomaSixx 15:47, 27 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I thought that as well, but it could very well be a weird description of what's coming. Regardless, it's still too early to say either way for sure, so it's fine here for now. Saying it's a joke is more of an absolute than listing it as something upcoming. Being as ambiguous as possible with these mentions strictly using references is ideal.  16:08, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Mojang's April Fools joke: Minecraft 2.0

 * But then why do they have videos on it? -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 22:51, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * They recently announced 2.0 with new features in "a couple months". Please put a section in on 2.0.  See http://mojang.com/2013/04/its-finally-coming-minecraft-2-0/ for more info. Eeddgg 23:37, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I have seen on the Minecraft WIki website that there is going to be a Minecraft 2.0. I was wondering if anyone had any information on when the version would be coming out. Also, I saw in the video that animals can be "fed" to get bigger and eventually they would explode, but i was wondering if they would get smaller if they didn't get "fed". Thanks! SlapShotKing75 00:28, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * To be honest, my head is spinning over everything about 2.0. Some say it is an April fools joke, while others say it is real. The download link is on the forums, although I haven't played it yet. -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 00:40, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * It is 100% a April Fools Joke, They planned this year's joke more than usuall. They coded a whole list of things (most based off of real features) and made a .jar.

They told sethbling about the joke and he got in on it too, and more and more youtubers. If you read over it you KNOW its a joke *made fishing easier* then, *removed fishing*. This year's joke really pumped and pissed off alot of people, but remember, SOME of these features MIGHT be in the game one day (hay bales, horses [but not these stupid ones], coal block.) but others definatly won't (craftable command block, pink derp faced wither, and blocks breaking after walking over them.) Two of the youtubers In their videos said it was an april fool's joke, and just this morning someone tweeted that it definatly was, Retweeted by Dinnerbone. KomaSixx 12:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Limited maps? I think not...
I think perhaps the 1.4 map change giving them limited range may have accounted for th "Limited maps" feature in the Keynote Roadmap. Thoughts? Lucius101 14:28, 7 April 2013 (UTC)Lucius101

Well I think that there should be an option, like Superflat Mode, to limit the world to a set amount of distance. Of course, you should have to set the distance for the world, though. PrinceCooshie101 03:51, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Straw Bales & Focused updates
Since this is a page for confirmed upcoming features Straw Bales shouldn't be in this list since it has not been confirmed and is only speculation. Also, Focused updates isn't really a feature but rather a design goal and shouldn't be on this list, it's like adding 'Make Money' or 'Sell 1 bazillion copies' to the list, Mojang plan on doing those too, but they are not on the list. ADCK 04:21, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not speculation anymore. But you do have a point on the focused updates. &#124; JSan 23:31, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they're confirmed now, but my other point is still valid ADCK 01:58, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Rails
Actualy they did, mobs nolonger walk over rails when not agressive so actually they added --Karstvgl 12:50, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The proposed feature was a type of rail that would remove entities from minecarts that passed over it. Mobs not wanting to walk on rails is completely different. -- Orthotope 18:29, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Villagers getting sounds? More likely to be horses.
In Mob Additions, someone has added that villages will be getting sounds. That's all very well... if the reference actually said that Jeb was adding villager sounds. Jeb's referred tweet actually says, "In the next snapshot, your favourite mutes will no longer be mutes." While it could possibly mean villagers, it's much more reasonable to assume that he means horses seeing as they have no sounds yet and 1.6 is rapidly approaching, so I've made the executive decision to remove the "Villagers will get sounds" point from the Upcoming Features page. Vortex 42 21:27, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I'll admit I was half wrong about the new sounds. They added horse sounds AND villager sounds. -Vortex 42 20:10, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Bug Fixes
What exactly are the guidelines as to what can be listed as a bug fix for 1.6? and came during 1.5/1.5.1, although I'm not sure whether they are on the list or not. Should they be? –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:36, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

 * But not created during the 1.6 snapshots, correct? –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:47, 1 June 2013 (UTC)


 * If the bug only existed in the snapshots, then it's not an upcoming fix. Only changes between the current version of minecraft to 1.6 should be shown. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 09:33, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Does any one know when Minecraft 1.6 will be released? So someone can update the stat from unknown to something like Possibly June 2013. Thanks in advance. 76.0.98.183 13:57, 7 June 2013 (UTC)


 * If we knew, it would already be listed. I'm not sure Mojang even decides on a date before they start putting out pre-releases. -- Orthotope talk 17:45, 7 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay. Thanks Orthotope. 76.0.98.183 02:32, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Resource Packs
So in other words...You can edit/modify your player character (give him invincibility and remove durability of your swords, armor, etc?)-TheBigGreen 17:03, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

No. Resource packs are a new feature that is replacing texture packs. Look in the article to see what they add.--68.117.179.164 04:19, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Minecraft 1.7 - Biome Update?
If some people have watched the Dreamhack live with Jeb. Some have noticed that the 1.7 will be focused on Biomes. Any thoughts on that? I personnaly think they will finally integrates Audio Loops since it really fits the theme of the update.

Emetophobic 21:16, 23 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Think what you want, but don't add any speculation to the article. Please. –  Numbermaniac Talk  - Contribs 08:18, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

I really like the idea of introducing new Biomes. Adding some fresh content to the game will help keep people interested,right? PrinceCooshie101 02:06, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Native Backup support and save management
Due to a bunch of new items in the translation project, it seems clear that backup/restore support, along with game save disabling is an immanent feature-set. There are also ones about invitations, templates and publishing, though some of this could have to do with minecraft realms. Cultist O 11:42, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Spelling mistake
"Texture pack support is replaced to resource pack in 1.6 release, but some of the planned features are not impremented." Should be "implemented" 81.152.153.229 10:11, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Mod API
Why can't they just stop adding new features, fix old bugs and work on the Mod API? THEN, add new features... They are working on the Mod API and they are fixing stuff, everyday update they fix thousands of bugs.TheWombatGuru 14:04, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Implementation of Seasons - More Evidence
More evidence that seasons in Minecraft has arisen from a line of tweets by Dinnerbone to a user by the name of @DechlanBurrell involving seasons.

@DechlanBurrell tweeted Dinnerbone on Twitter stating, "hey dinnerbone bring back seasons if not it'll understandable". The tweets continued with mentions of "we never had to bring seasons back :)" as well as "bring back the idea and some development maybe".

Dinnerbone finished this Twitter conversation with a tweet stating, "The idea never went (away). It just isn't done yet :)" This is more evidence to the fact that seasons are still in development and will likely come to Minecraft in the future. --Komain72 19:57, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

What does "Community Feature" mean? No explanation at all, maybe i'm ignorant, lol Mokiki 00:21, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Confusion.....
Where it says "A new "Select Resource Pack" menu", what exactly does this mean? Are they implying that you can still use Texturepacks, but can also select a Resource Pack?

Just confusing me.

PrinceCooshie101 23:04, 1 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Since the addition of resource packs, texture packs have become outdated. What this new Select Resource Pack menu will allow for is the quick and easy merging of multiple resource packs. For more information, check out the Minecraft Forums thread on it here.


 * Hope this helps!

Is Dinnerbone adding new features?
I was reading Mojang's home page when I found these posts hinting new features?

"Brewing a Pufferfish into a Water Breathing potion makes sense, right?" https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/375180262407417856

"Don't worry, eating the pufferfish will be strongly discouraged through the use of deadly neurotoxin." https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/375182927245901824

"Fishing rewards in 1.7 are split into 3 piles: treasure, junk, fish. There are enchantments to change your luck between the piles." https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/375226996206628864

"The zombies become married to the pufferfish? ;)" (Not shure about this one) https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/375197205671727105

These are posted by Dinnerbone and might be hinting a new feature

Oxeye Daisy
Oxeye Daisy (implemented in 1.7) are probably a reference to Oxeye Game Studio, a studio with which Mojang made some collaborations (Cobalt is one of these.) --Deritof 21:16, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Illuminating mushrooms for 1.7?
"Roofed/Black Forest


 * -Has dark grass and giant mushrooms with 2 by 2 spruce trees
 * -Has extremely dense trees and leaves; dark and dangerous under the canopy even during :the day
 * -Monsters will most likely be able to spawn during the day and the night
 * -This is the first biome aside from the Mushroom Island that naturally spawns with giant :mushrooms
 * -It appears to have yellow illuminating mushrooms"

I haven't found any of those mushrooms on 13w36b snapshot, nor does anywhere say there'll be a new block/item. Where does this info come from? 188.76.56.188 15:11, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

All technical blocks aren't removed after all?
This page says: Technical Blocks All technical block items removed, including Locked chest

Technical blocks says: While they are still available in the current version of 1.6, the ability to obtain the item form of most technical blocks (block IDs 34, 36, 59, 74, 75, 94, 95, 104, 105 124 and 150) was removed in snapshot 13w37a of the pre-release version 1.7. Fluid blocks, Portal blocks, Farmland and Burning Furnaces remain available.

Which one is correct? --Robotkoer (talk) 21:11, 15 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I was the one who added that line to technical blocks, my "source" was User:Orthotope when they changed part of Version History to say:
 * "Removed most technical block items (block IDs 34, 36, 59, 74, 75, 94, 95, 104, 105, 124, 150); they can no longer be obtained with /give, but can be created with /setblock."
 * Before that it looked much the way this page does now. I don't know where they got their information, but I trusted them :p  Cultist O (talk) 22:51, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I got it by trying /give with all the technical block IDs. Things may have changed in later snapshots; it never hurts to verify information yourself, especially when it's as easy to test as this. -- Orthotopetalk 02:09, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

The Bug Fix MC-37106 (Texture Render Error) Confirmed for 1.7.3, not 1.8
A recent comment by Grum confirmed this: [Mojang] Grum (Erik Broes) added a comment - 40 minutes ago No, we fixed it 5 minute after the release was out in the wild. It will be in the next future release. Be it 1.7.3 or 1.8 that doesn't matter. We always mark the future release as the next major release as we never expect to make a minor one. In this case it is very likely it will just be 1.7.3 as we've also said. Also we didn't quickly 'shut out mouths about the fix' – we fixed it and then flew out to Minecon, things take a bit of time. You'll see a snapshot soon with the issue resolved. From here.

Limited Maps
Optional Limited Maps should probably be removed now, for one it was implemented in the XBox versions, and another it was implemented in PC 1.7 with the 30 million block limit, so instead of an optional limit it is enforced. Perhaps one day they'll add a server setting for how far the limit is, but that and any further discussions on the subject are just speculation. ADCK (talk) 23:51, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Done, you're totally right. Also, you can limit maps through command blocks (tp the player back if he moves out of a certain range, not sure how it works, but as far as I know it works.) --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)
 * The 30 million block limit has always been there, it has just been written on the release notes as moving outside it is now blocked (before there was a no-clip effect). --Robotkoer 18:42, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Why can't there be any PE-exclusive features without the PC team stealing them?

 * cause PE-exclusive netherspawner & cyan flower is enough for this "port" :P

Inserting the latest update via a template
Hi,

I've inserted the latest update, 1.8, via a template, I hope that's ok, it seems like a good idea to me, there are some thing on the 1.8 page that should actually not be included here. -- TheWombatGuru   <sup style="color:#00F">t undefined<sup style="color:#00F">c  NL Admin  22:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Looks incredibly ugly having one page pasted into the middle of another, and it screws up the references. However, the 1.8 link it used previously before your edit was also ugly, looked very amateurish. Having two pages for upcoming features is unnecessary, If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 1.8 should only need its own page when it actually exists. I suggest keeping upcoming features the way it was before these changes until the snapshots are released, then have a link to the development version page with perhaps a blurb with the prominent features, and make the link stand out more, perhaps use an icon/image as a link.

 * Which is why we got rid of it on here, we don't want the duplicated information. Upcoming features was very much broken, resulting in an entire loss of edit history when a version gets released. –Matt ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs ⎜ 01:26, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Why not break this page in two? One page for all of the ambiguous semi-announced crap, (most of which has been around for much too long to be considered planned anymore), and the other page being the 1.8 page. Change the "Upcoming Features" link to link to the 1.8 page, and presto, everyone is happy. 24.22.58.0 05:11, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I was considering renaming this to Planned features, but since most of this stuff is something that was just mentioned at some point and probably won't even happen, maybe it should either be called Mentioned features or just merge it with Unimplemented features. I hadn't considered changing the upcoming features name to redirect to the upcoming version. That might work well to not lose the discoverability of it. I was also considering adding upcoming versions to the main page. –Matt ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs ⎜ 05:50, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Makes sense to move them to (or merge them with) Unimplemented features, since the word 'unimplemented' doesn't just mean things that were not added but also means things that may not be added or have not been added yet. I also agree with redirecting upcoming features to the latest version page. As for adding a link to the main page, it's going to happen eventually when the snapshot is released, or do you mean that there will be a change to the development version link that appears there into a future patches link? Just curious. ADCK (talk) 00:14, 10 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I mean adding upcoming versions in addition to the current ones. Currently, the only way to discover the upcoming version without reading tweets is to come to this page. The page for the development version does link to the upcoming version it belongs to, but I feel it might be good to have a direct link as well. –Matt ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs ⎜ 00:19, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
