Bedrock Edition mentioned features

Many features have been mentioned for inclusion in the Pocket Edition.

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.

World generation
There have been a number of mentioned changes to world generation from the developers. Tomasso had planned a Far biome, found at the edge of finite worlds was going to be implemented in 0.9.0 but was delayed for unknown reasons. He also proposed a unique underworld underground structure and a dream dimension, 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. 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.

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 better progression over time with harder biomes further from spawn, more space underground, possibly raising sea level to y=96 and making the terrain less predictable.

In addition, Cave Culling 2.0 is one of the items on Tomasso's to-do list.

Interface/controls
At Minecon 2016, the developers mentioned the goal to unify the UI between the Windows 10 and Pocket Edition versions. They mentioned the ability of moving items and classic crafting being a possibility in the Pocket Edition.

They also 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.

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

Other world sizes
Tomasso 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. The addition of different world sizes was again mentioned at Minecon 2016.
