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)

 * 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)

Water Ladders Post 1.6
"Fixed entities reaching water through wall corners " Why do I get the feeling that this might be the final nail in the coffin for Water Ladders? Well, we'll find out after wednesday/thursday for sure. Rage 12:17, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I thought the same thing when I read it. This would only affect invisible water ladders though right? TheTexasHammerMC 22:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It depends... If it just fixes corners, then yes, but it could be larger, to take sides into account too. Then they would all break. -- TheKax 16:19, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I checked it. Water ladders do not break, but climbing them is only as fast as climbing normal ladders :( Raymaniak 22:02, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

"It’s no longer possible to build solid blocks on the top layer of the maps (sorry!)"
Is this a bug or a new feature? user:tygor97
 * It's a bug fix (or more accurately - a measure to fix several bugs related to the top layer of the map). --Warlock 14:39, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Hopefully, though, it won't do anything to blocks that are already on the top layer... 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:00, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Definitely a fix. I still get nightmares of doors and beds placed on top block. -- TheKax 16:17, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Ether/Aether
Doesn't the PC gamer article and Notch's subsequent twitterings effectively confirm this is coming? Would add news/an article to this effect myself, but being a new contributor thought I would ask here first!

Infirm 17:15, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * They confirm that a Sky Dimension is coming, not the Aether. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:26, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, I was searching under the wrong terminology. I still think the Sky Dimension is worth adding to the future section on the front page however. Infirm 17:53, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Reorganize
What about putting the two tables together, and just add TBA for the versions of those from the second table? Sbares 11:05, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Game content section
How would we integrate this? http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/77324091174035456 Drenay 22:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought about adding it, but to be honest he didn't particularly promise the feature. Someone said "It would be cool if..." and he responded "Yup!"  So really it could go either way.  Maybe he wants to add it, or maybe he's just agreeing that it would be cool (even though it's too hard to add, or it would take too much time, or _insert some other reason they aren't going to do it here_).  It may be worth referencing the Tweet under the "more mobs" listing or something though. --Warlock 23:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and added it as a reference there (especially since it had a for some reason). --Warlock 23:55, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Undocumented blocks
What is the policy for blocks or other Minecraft related stuff that is not yet in the game, nor is known if it ever will be? Watching the 20-ish minute Documentary of Mojang (the link is somewhere in the references for this page), I saw a few items that are not in the game, nor have been talked about in twitter as far as I know. The "Obsidian Chest" is an example, and can be seem in the full video. Just wondering if stuff like that deserves a page or a mention at least on the site or not. &mdash; Neithan Diniem   †  15:16, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Labels for Items?
What do you mean Labels for items? The tweet was in "secret pirate language" so I can't get more information from that. What does it mean?

In the EN-US.LANG file, there are a bunch of empty strings (for example, cobblestone.desc). This might be what they're for. FelixGriffin 17:57, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Maybe putting them into just really deep water and unable to attack boats? That would finally give at least some use to the boats. (Now they're just pretty much for waterslides and long water trips, because water elevators got nerfed) -- TheKax 16:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

New Half Blocks
By "New features in the terrain generator; things which will only appear in new worlds/new generated areas.", do you mean the strange half / less than half blocks that can be seen in the screenshots notch has uploaded? http://i.imgur.com/q0YzL.jpg (look at the middle bottom of the picture) http://i.imgur.com/GWfJR.png (look at the right of the picture) Blay09 17:20, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I am not seeing what you're talking about here... --Warlock 17:24, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing anything - I get a 403 Forbidden message on both pictures (this seems to happen for me with a lot of links to imgur, and I have no idea why). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:28, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

 * That's a normal block. It's slightly higher so it obscures some of the block below it. --Warlock 17:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! Alright, I'm seeing that now. But what about the second picture? :/ Blay09 17:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess I was just tricked by the perspective. Notch mentioned that there are spoilers on these pictures, so I tried finding them :P Blay09 17:40, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't see anything on the nighttime one (at least on this monitor) so I can't comment, though I assume it's the same deal. But yeah, I don't know what Notch was really talking about there.  The only thing I noticed that seemed out-of-the-ordinary on those pictures were the obvious lighting differences with the nighttime/torches, and that the ocean color actually seems slightly different.  I suppose maybe notch added water colors to biomes and that was the big change he was talking about?  Or it could just be an artifact of the new lighting system... --Warlock 17:44, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * There are no new lower blocks round there. I think the only spoiler on these pictures is this strange light color. Raymaniak 22:02, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Experience
It seems pretty likely that 1.7 will include experience orbs. http://www.reddit.com/comments/i08ae/the_hidden_stuff_has_been_found_notch_twitter/

Brick texture change?
In the video, the brick texture looks changed.

Jeb tweeted this. http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/85688617967685632 It says that the brick texture is changed. Guess I am correct. --Peturd158

Fence blocks made opaque?
As we can see from the video, torches can be now placed on fences. AFAIR, torches cannot be placed on transparent blocks. And then there's one thing I thought about, that vid has a lot of stacked fences, and fences aren't placeable on eachother as well. So maybe Notch just made fences opaque blocks? OR made it somehow that it's not the transparency that decides what can be placed on what... Of course, pure speculation. --HTMLCoder.exe 23:35, 16 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Fences can already be stacked, but torches cannot be placed on them. Father  Toast  18:32, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they can be stacked, but the process needed currently to do it is time-consuming and annoying IMO. If you just could stack them the way you could stack, say, cobblestone, that would be great. -- TheKax 16:12, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

TheKax: bukkit plugin exists for that. I think Notch made an exception, otherwise fences would have a strange look.

Guns, DRM, MMO?
Hey guys, from readying Notch's twitter; he's adding guns, DRM (?), some pre order DLC things and making Minecraft an MMO. Is this supposed to be like a joke or something? I'm confused. Nanosoldier 17:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Obvious joke is obvious ;) --Lordebon 17:53, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Supposed 1.7 updates
Two items in the wiki are linked to an interesting post by Notch. It goes as follows: Poperorfofekoktot! Jojagog fofixoxadode coclolayoy-bobugoggogenon, soskoka lolägoggoga totilollol lolabobelolsos popå itotemomsos nonu This seems rather useless as a reference link, and thus it seems likely that "the clay bug will be fixed" and "labels for items will be added" are likely. Also, it should be noted that "labels for items will be added" is rather odd, as there already are text labels for items. If there is an intelligible explanation, please reference that rather than this tweet. Darkid 14:24, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Can't somebody simply translate it and put somewhere (forums?)? Raymaniak 22:02, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Redstone fixes
With the redstone/repeater connection fix coming (THANK THE LORD!!!), can we expect similar fixes for redstone/note blocks in the near future? Any tweets? Weckar 04:04, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing for now. Raymaniak 22:02, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yay, it always forced me to make bigger circuits because of not connecting --TakeruDavis 16:40, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Release date for 1.7
Why not simply change it to TBA with proper [29] and [30] references? Current version is slightly outdated and unnecessary. Raymaniak 22:02, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Outdated announces
Some of the announces are very old. I think the oldest is the "More underwater content!" announce from the main page, which refers to the tweet from... 04.02. Maybe really somebody will consider making a page for the things that "maybe may be in game"? Raymaniak 22:02, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Leaves....
How do yout hink will Leaves placed(without adding wood) after cutting them behave? I hope they dont decay as they do now when you cut wood from tree. --TakeruDavis 16:58, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Curved World??
The reference is to Notch's twitter post here:, and presumably he's talking about this image:. I see nothing to indicate a curved world; instead, I see the camera POV getting distorted due to the wide angle of the MC window. You can replicate this effect by running MC windowed, and shrinking it vertically. Instead, this screenshot tells me that Miner Steve's true identity is actually none other than Luke Skywalker. Sandwich 17:43, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree, no world curvature. Put back the "flying" description. <font color="Blue">C <font color="Orange">ali <font color="Purple">nou - talk × contribs » 19:20, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

The world is definitely NOT curved in that image-- just the normal distortion. We don't even know for sure notch posted that. He could have been trolling and sombody else took advantage of his vague statement to post that. Eleazzaar 11:04, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

"World curvature" - what? No, that's just the 3D
Obviously in the picture the 3D makes the world 'look' curved. Just open Minecraft, go into any world, and look on the edge of the screen - it's all stretched. Obviously the real thing is flight, unless everyone is blind? LB 21:46, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

1.7 update to be just Pistons
Correct me if im wrong, but didnt notch say it was going to be ONLY pistons?


 * Yes, Notch stated on tumblr than 1.7 will only contain pistons and possible bug fixes. Yandols 07:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, but then Jeb_ threw in shears at the same time--DarkAuk 15:52, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Physical Copy?
The "Full Version" 1.0 description says that a physical copy of the game will be sold. I've never heard of this before, and it seems mighty unlikely that it will be released on a physical disk. Has anyone got an actual source for this, or should it be removed? IVI4tt 21:16, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It has been listed on there for quite awhile now with the tag and no one has added a source.  I'm guessing someone made an personal assumption that retail=physical :P --Warlock 21:28, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Features not in 1.8
On notch's blog he says "To come is more interesting farming, bigger incentives to explore, and npc villages." He says "To come" after he talks about whats in 1.8, suggesting these features won't be in 1.8 and instead will be later.
 * "Already implemented are new complex terrain features, at least one new mob, some interesting new combat mechanics, a new lighting engine, and some experimental new gameplay ideas. To come is more interesting farming, bigger incentives to explore, and npc villages."


 * He's listing what he has already done first, and what he plans to do second. Seems pretty self-explanatory to me. Shellface 18:50, 30 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes but remember, he hasn't finished 1.8 yet, or else he would of released it within 1.7. The "to do's" are things he hasn't finished for 1.8 not for a later update ~Enjoy Life 18:55, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Ruins Screenshot: Another New Block?
So in the Ruins Screenshot released by Jeb on his Google+ page, I think I see another new block not mentioned yet. On the right side, seperating the right "room" and the middle area, there appears to be a barred doorway or grate of some kind. I'm not seeing things am I? --Warlock 15:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Good eye, I didn't notice that until you made note of it. A dungeon variation, perhaps? --DarkAuk 15:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * My personal guess is that Ruins will be generated similar to dungeons, but largely on the surface. Hopefully they will be more complex as well (based on the screenshot it looks that way :) --Warlock 15:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

1.7.3
It is possible that a new update will come to fix some piston dupe glitches according to Jeb. Is it worth it to add it in the article? Fwd 12:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Watermelons? Keep on trolling.
Jeb is trolling, that's obvious. Fwd 11:44, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Something strange on stronghold pictures
On a pictures Notch posted on Google+, you can see zombie standing next to kind of a lake. At the left side of a zombie, there is... what? There is a strange brown thing, which looks for me mostly like broom lying on the floor. Anybody knows what this thing is? EDIT: It appears to be a dying Skeleton. Look at it closely.PS why would it be dead?Ajc 1254 18:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC) Raymaniak 15:00, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * It's a dead skeleton that had a Meta glitch, or the guy taking this picture had good timing (probably Notch). It probably attacked the zombie, and the zombie killed it. But if its something new, we'll find out. &#124; JSan 15:38, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Mob spawn change?
I herd that mobs will no longer spawn randomly? How will they spawn then?

Window Block in 1.8
jeb_ has released a screenshot of windows in 1.8.



I tried to squeeze as much info out of him as possible :D 

All I got :( Man, they are keeping this secret.

Stained Glass
Unfortunately I have no way of backing up this claim at the moment with sufficient evidence, but I have reason to believe that the introduction of glass panes are part of an effort to bring in colored or stained glass into Minecraft. This feature has been hinted at through some of Notch's posts and comments regarding a new lighting engine and specific color hues now being emitted by objects in the game (ie torches giving off orange light). Placing a light source behind these colored panes may give off a similar colored light that can be manipulated by melting sand with the appropriate dye somewhere in the glass-making process (creating glass through a new process is not too hard to digest, and it seems there has to be a new way to make glass to even manufacture glass panes). Again, I have no way of proving that this will be added, but if someone were to prod about and question Notch regarding the technical aspects of the new lighting engine, I'd be more than willing to bet he'd provide some solid evidence on this matter. --Sandman 04:40, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * If you were looking for some "disproof", here you go: Jeb_'s twitter Cool12309(T 04:55, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, I wasn't aware Jeb had made that comment, thank you for finding that. That rules out the colored light theory, but it is still possible that there may be standard colored glass in the future (which I personally doubt now, as my suspicions for the presence of colored glass were based entirely off of talk of the new lighting engine). --Sandman 05:31, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Spikes
Ok, so in the 1.8 section of the Upcoming Features, There is new combat mechs. So, why does it say Spikes under that as a sub-topic? I tried to delete it because I saw Spikes somewhere else on the page. Can some one delete it?

EDIT: Wait, I deleted it. But if it comes back, then someone delete it.

5 New Food Types
There will be 5 new food types in 1.8: And it is listed that raw chicken is one of them where I am sure it isn't. Meaning that there is Chicken, Cow (beef) and Melon (possibly) so there is 2 more new food type.
 * Actually, 1. Raw Chicken, Cooked Chicken, Steak, Possibly Melons, and one untold one.Ajc 1254 12:07, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The last one may be chocolate bars. It would make sense because cocoa plants may be implemented. That's just speculation on my part. &#124; JSan 13:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

New Mob Screenshot
In the New scary mob screenshot you can see it holding a block! Plus, there is a huge mushroom in the right side, looks like a tree.

Organization of the Upcoming features page
Mad props to Kroc for the revamping of the 1.8 features list. I come daily to see new changes.

 * IMO, as long as it says "probably" it's fine - Notch said it was something he wanted to do. It might not happen - maybe he can't get it to work, but I see no reason to remove it as long as it's indicated that it's not definite. --Warlock 18:00, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Clouds not able to go trough buildings
Well I added the info to this link and to be honest I just waited for it to be reverted. I don't know why, but I felt it. Maybe the source isn't really trusted or it is because it's german. But the key info is english. Well ok, it sounds unrealistic. Because colliding clouds would use a lot of ressources. There was a discussion about that on GetStatisfaction. So Notch could have moved the clouds in fancy graphics over the top layer of the map. Well... one more thing... this fact is on the german upcoming features page. so if it's beeing removed here, it should be removed there too.--freaktechnik (w 19:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I did notice that it is marked as implemented in the Get Satisfaction English page Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 20:09, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
