Talk:Java Edition upcoming features


 * Archive up to 1.0 Release

No longer upcoming
Features have already been release. Should I move the info to version history? Tulaash 22:36, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

lanterns
At minecon notch said that due to negative feedback he is no longer happy with the idea of lanterns, though there may be some new light emitting blocks in the future, there was a video on IGN, but it's moved, if I find it again I will link to it, but I think it would be safe to at least put a note in the lantern section that it's unlikely. Cultist O 02:43, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

For that matter, shouldn't Lanterns be removed entirely?

Eventual Features, etc.
The things in the Eventual Features section have been mentioned or considered, but many of them aren't likely to be added, or have no concrete proof that they will be added for certain. I propose that we either change the name of the section, or separate it into two sections depending on likelihood of a particular thing being added. --Pizza2004 02:32, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I would suggest anything that doesn't have a citation and anything that they have said they are considering, but didn't say for certain should be moved into a 'Possible Features, etc.' section, so that it is easier to see what we know is coming at some later point and what we may possibly get. --Pizza2004 02:37, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

This Talk Page
The talk page is filled with old or junk topics, which makes it a mess and needlessly long. I propose that someone goes through to see which topics still have relevance and clean up the others. --Pizza2004 02:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll archive some of the posts. --Saphireking65 18:47, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Zipline
Notch said he would like to add parts of the Zipline mod into Minecraft. Even though he said parts, he must be adding rope. He MUST be. You can't have any zipline-related stuff without rope. Anyone agree? --ChasmicActivity 21:28, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * While this is true, the information that we have suits what is said just fine for now. --Fishrock123.png (Talk)(c) 21:57, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

I agree what is a Zipline with out rope you can't use string.--Spyman00 14:51, 15 February 2012 (UTC) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Spyman00 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 23:41, 4 February 2012. Please sign your posts with

Easier Server Setup
Swedish tweets between jeb_ and krojbxilef:

K: @jeb_ Kommer ni på Mojang att fixa till servrar så att de blir lättare att starta en egen, jag och många andra tycker att det är för svårt.

J: @krojbxilef Japp, det är planen för 2012

Trans: "Is Mojang going to fix servers so that it's easier to start an own one, me and many others think it's too difficult.

Yeah, that's the plan for 2012."

So, easier server setup for 2012!

 * What is hard about setting up a server? You just need to doubleclick the file!? Please clarify ~Anonymous
 * It is indeed NOT easy to setup a server. You not only have to start the server program, but also port forward, as well as make sure your server can support others. And don't get me started on fixing issues that arise. --Saphireking65 18:46, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

i agree with ^. i can't seem to get it to port forward, easy setup would be great

Well, the problem with making easy port forwarding setup is that port forwarding involves changing system settings that are protected, in most cases, from access from third-party programs. NighttimeDriver50000 21:29, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

C418
C418 has mentioned making music specifically for creative mode in his blog. Should this be included? Link: http://c418.org/blog/post/48 He also included more details in the comments.

Next Version Release Section
With the release of two pre-releases that clearly show upcoming features, can someone who knows the wiki formatting stuff better than I do renable that section (apparently it is hidden) and add the contents that appear here and here for Version 1.0.1? --Sandman 06:34, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

1.5?
Someone reverted the page to 1.5 for some reason, so I undid this so it is now back to 1.1.0. --Mini Munch 17th December 2011 16:40

Mod API Removed?
It appears as though someone removed the mod API listing from the page. The only rationale I can see behind having that done is that it isn't something that is being implemented into gameplay, but it is an upcoming feature to Minecraft regardless. If there are no objections to this statement within a week, I will re-add it to the page. --Sandman 19:23, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

smelt gravel?
troagador has used the last 5 edits to repeatedly add + remove gravel smelting paragraph. why?√Onion=Shallot 09:56, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

a theory would be to grief a part of the page and then hide the edit from direct sight. user:lordcat33 14:44 8 February 2012

Flame item? Exp Item? Huh?
Plz help, i'm confused: dead end links to the pages but noone's deleted them.From Moi, Ajc_1254 20:34, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

how about chairs?!?!
i just sat there, reading the updates and wondered: where are the chairs, (real) tables, emotes?? When you build a house, you want to life in it, right? not just run through it and think "that tool me quite a while!" a simple wave-animation (yes, im thinking of MMOs right now :D) whould give a huge boost to the longtime-fun of minecraft imo..
 * THIS. IS NOT. A FORUM! --Moxxy 17:35, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

calm down moxxy,that thought came into my head the other day that there are no chairs or tables,i hope mojang will make chairs that you can sit on.--Spyman00 14:57, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

world height
it was the first thing i tested when i got 12w06a and the world height has not been increased.
 * It's not out yet. and sign ur name! From Moi, Ajc_1254 21:11, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Is the taller world a new world type or not?
The curse MC news said something like that but idk. If it is should it be added to the world type page?From Moi, Ajc_1254 17:24, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I was under the impression that the new world height would be a function of the new world save format that Jeb is working on. I have been assuming that when old worlds are converted to the new format, the increased world height would be applied automatically. Kasijjuf 17:37, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought, but then I thought that would screw alot of stuff up, and it would be easier to make a taller World Type Called SupertallFrom Moi, Ajc_1254 21:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

no i disagree its all the worlds NOT a world type--Spyman00 13:44, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * again, proof?√Onion=Shallot 09:38, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

are you talking to me?--Spyman00 13:54, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * the new height appieys to all maps and only makes the map taller without changing sea level anonymous 16:31 06 march 2012

Snow golem bug
Under 12w06a, snow golems are harmed by both rain and snowfall, as opposed to just rain.Firebastard 08:28, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

lol,that is weird snow should heal them or make them grow,yeah that would be cool if snow made snow golems grow.(hint hint)--Spyman00 15:00, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

"redstone operated lamps" could be the "lantern" item planned for halloween update?
on oct 31st 2010, the "halloween update" was supposed to have lanterns that would be infinite light sources when torches burn out. perhaps this is similar. maybe torches won't burn out, but maybe lanterns are going to be implemented as redstone-powered lights instead?

Baby Villagers
When Villagers breed they create Baby Villagers. --Testificate Caterer 11:23, 15 February 2012 (UTC) so why is this a topic?--13:46, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Frog
At minecon notch said he would add frogs to sprucen up swamps and he said they would spawn on lilypads

Lump read?
It's best if we removed the snapshot references and jibber-jabber and just combined it into one giant lump. ajmax8 23:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

The hieroglyph sandstone block(s)
Why is it assumed that the hieroglyph textures in the terrain.png will be the textures of two blocks? Couldn't they be the sides of a single one? MicroBlogganism 21:15, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * IDK. I will change it to 2 new textures, then.From Moi, Ajc_1254 23:56, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

What is LWJGL?
What is it? I know it's coding, but hat does it do?From Moi, Ajc_1254 23:59, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

LWJGL stands for LightWeight Java Game Library, which is used since July 2009 by Minecraft. It's a required dependancy that manages audio using OpenAL and graphics using OpenGL. By default, Minecraft downloads an outdated version of LWJGL which may be updated (fixes stuck keys bug, may improve performance). C ali nou - talk × contribs » 00:15, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

dinnerbones bug fix list, Jeb stating 1.2.4 will be out thursday
I'm using a tablet and so the page refreshed on me while I was grabbing links, so I only have dinnerbones link  just scour Jens Twitter for 1.2.4 confirmation

Internal changes
What means "important internal changes"?

Question
Isn't Citations, references and sources‎ supposed to be used in conjunction with this page in some way? --74.105.185.97 09:14, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Ghost Entities under the command of Lord Herobrine?
W. T. F. ?!!! What is he REALLY fixing when he says that?

Paintings
Can't you already change those via texture packs? heck, I think there is a little space for additional images in the paintings texture file. So what does it mean by custom paintings? 141.225.226.108 00:15, 5 April 2012 (UTC) EliteCreature


 * It means additional ones made in-game independent of the texture pack. -- Fishrock123  (Talk)(c) 00:34, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
