Joke features



Joke features are features that were either confirmmed by a Mojang employee, but not added or features that were temporarily added as jokes. Notch and other Mojang AB employees have frequently joked about adding various features to the game.

Hot dogs
Notch mentionned on Twitter that hot dogs were confirmmed for 1.6, but eventually, they weren't added.

Herobrine
In every new Minecraft update like Halloween Update, Adventure Update, Pretty Scary Update, Redstone Update, Horse Update, The Update That Changed The World, and The Bountiful Update, it will say "removed Herobrine", but Herobrine was never implemented. This has also appeared in the changelog for Scrolls version 0.103.0.

Locked chest
The Locked Chest or "Steve Co. Supply Crate" was temporarily added as the 2011 April Fools' Day joke.

Ultra Hardcore Mode
When Hardcore mode was announced, a joke screenshot of "Ultra Hardcore Mode" was shown, where death would revoke an account's premium status.
