1.14
1.14 is an upcoming major update with the possible release date at the beginning of 2019. The theme is "Village and Pillage", and it will introduce many new stairs and slabs, and update the taiga. It will not overhaul combat.

Texture Update
The Texture Update is an upcoming major update that will change most of the textures in the game, except for a few iconic textures like the creeper. The update currently has no planned released date. After release, the old textures will be available as a separate download. The new current new textures beta pack can be downloaded through this link.

1.15 and 1.16
1.15 and 1.16 are upcoming major updates that are planned to be released at an undetermined time after 1.14. The details of these updates alone have not yet been revealed, aside from that one of them will revisit combat, and the other gameplay mechanics. A new "Super Fancy" graphics setting is also planned.

1.7
1.7 is an upcoming major update for Bedrock Edition with no set release date which will add features such as a command and the ability to eat food in Creative mode and Peaceful difficulty.

4K Update
The 4K Update is an upcoming aesthetical update for Bedrock Edition with no set release date. It will add a 4K HDR graphics option. The Super Duper Graphics Pack will be added to the marketplace at the same time.

The update is delayed and will not be coming out anytime soon due to some internal issues."Minecraft developer here. The Graphics Team is still hard at work on this (it ended up being a ton more work than initially anticipated). The graphics part of our engine was quite honestly simply not built for this, and when we tried to put all the new features in piece by piece things went bad. Performance, even on the Xbox One X, was between bad and inconsistent during all the internal play sessions we had.

It will come, but we don't have a date yet. The gameplay team has been hard at work on the Update Aquatic, while the rest of the Engine team has been working on the Switch release alongside fixing performance issues on Xbox One. Those fixes are much closer than Super Duper :)"
