Talk:Java Edition upcoming features

Toggle Touchscreen? YES!
I've been waiting to use my touch screen for MC. I wonder if it uses M.A.T.T.I.S.-like technology?It&#39;s ahme, AJC! 21:49, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see, I don't think Mojang has any short term plans to introduce MATTIS to the Computer Edition.

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)
 * For all details watch the Minecon talks - see Redstone Update

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.

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