Planned versions

This page is about planned versions of all editions of Minecraft. These updates either have major sources to their existence or have received development versions.

Note that only editions with known planned updates are listed here; if no known planned updates exist the edition is left out.

1.16.2
1.16.2 is an upcoming minor update to Java Edition with no set release date, which adds piglin brutes, adds support for custom biomes, and fixes bugs.

Combat changes
The combat system is planned to be reworked in a future update, keeping the cooldown but only allowing the player to attack when fully charged. It is not known yet when those changes will be made, as they are developed in parallel to other features and will make it into the game "when they're good enough". The update in which they are included will also not be a combat-themed update.

1.16.20
1.16.20 is an upcoming minor update to Bedrock Edition with no set release date, which adds piglin brutes, as well as changes to sounds, block behaviors and bug fixes.

RTX Update
RTX ray tracing capability is planned to be added to Bedrock Edition in a future update. It will be available on Windows 10, using a NVIDIA graphics card. It is not known yet when this will be implemented, but beta versions exist.

1.14.0
Education Edition 1.14.0 is an upcoming major update to Education Edition and adds compatibility for Chromebooks as well as adding features from the Village & Pillage and Buzzy Bees updates.
