Far biome
A version exclusive Far biome, found at the edge of finite worlds was going to be implemented in 0.9.0 but got delayed.

Biome-based difficulty
Tomasso stated on reddit that he would like to add a "difficulty" number that mobs could have depending on their circumstances, such as resource that it spawns from and weather. This would vary the amount of hostile mobs at night and the amount of recources gained from each biome. He also stated that he would like more biome-specific mobs as well as biomes with specific difficulty/mob distributions.

This was partially added with the feature of spiders spawning from leaves.

Other world sizes
Tomasso stated on reddit that there may be other limited world sizes in addition to the current "Old" world type (256x256). These world sizes could be 1000x1000 and 10000x10000. When Realms are re-added, it may have a limit of 10000x10000.

Pocket Realms
Minecraft Realms for the Pocket Edition was available as a trial, but was later removed. It was planned to be added again in Alpha 0.9.1 however was delayed for unknown reasons.

When it was mentioned at MineCon 2015, the response was that it should be in this year.
