Talk:Java Edition upcoming features

To do
Okay. When I proposed this page, I had something very great in mind but this article feels very lacking. I do not have the time and dedication to do it right now but I thought I should leave some hints on how this page should be. An example is in the RS Wiki: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Upcoming_updates

The reason I wanted this page was so that the semi-confirmed upcoming updates, which might have very little information on how it will turn out and without a good timeframe. Some of these pages are Adventure, Zombie Siege, Capture the Flag, Realistic Mode, Pigman, Trap Block, Scarecrow and Lantern. This will avoid useless stubs which might be left in this Wiki forever if they are not implemented at all.

Also, there should be a more specific mob section, where we can then take them out from the mobs page, instead of just a general "More mobs" statement. Updates which have been implemented should be removed, instead of letting them linger around here.

This is just a suggestion, and hopefully someone with enough dedication will make this article turn into something great. --Scykei 09:46, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Wolf
Are you sure the release date is April 1st? I hope nobody's lying. I'll blow up like a Creeper if anyone's lying. R ocĸetor talk  06:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Ssssssssssssss...... R ocĸetor talk  05:24, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

*flees* :O Yea, the date seems to have been removed. I really hope they fix the 2-5 minute SMP delay in the next update... It makes SMP nearly unplayable :( --Zkyo 13:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

That's alright. An extra two days is fine at the max. R ocĸetor talk  05:54, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Note: Sorry Zkyo, they are pretty much only focusing on Singleplayer. R ocĸetor talk  06:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Inventory default key
It will take a 100 years to get used to the new key.

So change it in the controls menu ._. --Zkyo 13:08, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Pistons
I was watch a YouTube on the Mincecraft modification 'Pistons', which allows the player to shoot eachother or sand and gravel into the air. With floating blocks, it will push the block up one and leave it there. Now the creator of this mod was asked by Jeb_ if he would like to post it for future ideas. So the creator did this, and since Jeb_ asked him to submit it, it may well be a candidate for a future update. --R ocĸetor talk  20:26, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Booster Tracks
Jeb tweeted that Booster Tracks will be added to the game today. I wanted to add this to the page, but I don't know how to quote a single tweet. Somebody help me out please! Metonymia 20:22, 9 April 2011 (UTC) Metonymia

Occlusion Culling?
What is occlusion culling and what effect would it have in game?


 * Occlusion culling is basically one method for not rendering stuff that isn't seen (because it's behind other stuff that *is* seen). It should speed up the game by a decent amount (in theory, at least). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:21, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

At far and normal viewing distances, It doubles your FPS! The disavantage is that if you turn rapidly your mouse, you may see "empty" zones.

refereces
I know how to make references, but how do i make those big tweet page references? like ? how do i get the link? --R ocĸetor talk  01:57, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Hotdogs
Okay, hotdogs are OBVIOUSLY not going to be in the game. Notch was clearly re-trolling when he clarified that he was joking with his first tweet. Can we agree to remove references to hotdogs?--Rockerest 16:01, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

im just happy no one took the hydra-pig joke seriously either.--Higbey 16:04, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Apparently, you haven't looked at the page recently *facepalm*--Rockerest 16:07, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

oh for the love of creepers....--Higbey 21:03, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

When pigmen come out, i bet they will get electrocuted into zombie pigmen and pigs that get struck by lightning will turn into hydra-pigs. --R ocĸetor talk  21:47, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Whatever Does This Mean???
"Notch has stated several times on Twitter that he intends to add some way to display items such as armor and weapons"??? What? Can't we already see armour and weapons in your inventory and on other players? Is this a residue from older versions? Vincent2128 04:56, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * No, I added it fairly recently. It refers to a display case or rack block that can be placed like other blocks, and would "hold" otherwise-unplaceable items such as armor or weapons/tools. It's a popular request, and I've seen several tweets in Notch's feed stating that he intends to add such a block at some point. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:59, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * There are already mods that do this, such as the shelf mod, which is why Notch probably wanted to add it. --R ocĸetor talk  06:29, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Notch likes to prank us

Gates

 * Didn't notch say he was adding fence gates? Nosrepa 02:41, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * He has said that, though I seem to recall him saying more recently that he was rethinking it or something. I really wish I knew an easy way to search old tweets. =/ 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:41, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
