Eventual Features, Items, and Blocks
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| More sounds and music | More gameplay music and sounds by C418.[36] |
| A legitimate way to obtain Sponges | It has been hinted that sponges would come back as a fully functional and obtainable block in a future update[citation needed]. Although the sponge block has been available in creative mode since Beta 1.8, it is currently purely decorative. It was not added and is still not obtainable in survival mode. |
| More Enchantments | Jeb liked the idea of having more enchantments added to the game.[37] |
| More Potions | Jeb stated there would be eventually a total of 2653 potions in the game.[38] |
| Skylands/Sky Dimension | While initially replaced by The End, Notch has expressed interest in adding a new Sky Dimension to replace the original idea.[39] |
| Server Portals | According to Get Satisfaction, Mojang has marked a player's suggestion of Server Portals as "Planned."[40] |
| Capture the Flag | Announced on Notch's Blog.[41] |
| Mounting/Controlling Mobs | The ability to mount and control mobs (possibly horses). Notch confirmed it was planned but will take time at Get Satisfaction.[42] Also Jeb said on a reddit AMA in April 2012 that he "more or less promised horses to a friend".[43] |
| Minecarts as lava boats | Notch has suggested making minecarts act like boats when placed in lava.[44] |
| Custom Paintings | Notch has said that custom paintings may feature in a future update.[45] |
| Stereoscopic and/or Green/Magenta 3D | Notch said he would add more options for the 3D mode.[46] |
| More Powerful Powered Minecarts | Notch indicated on Twitter that he wants to make more powerful Powered Minecarts since Powered Rails made them relatively useless.[47] |
| Audio Loops | Audio loops have not yet been added to the game, but may be played when the player is in a specific location (In caves, woods, sea and beside a waterfall).[citation needed] |
| Friends list | The Minecraft documentary team of 2 Player Productions filmed a Keynote roadmap, also containing this line.[48][49] |
| Multithreading | The Minecraft documentary team of 2 Player Productions filmed a Keynote roadmap, also containing this line.[48] Note: Minecraft is multithreaded.[50] |
| Limited maps | The Minecraft documentary team of 2 Player Productions filmed a Keynote roadmap, also containing this line.[48] |
| Video support | The Minecraft documentary team of 2 Player Productions filmed a Keynote roadmap, also containing this line.[48] |
| Email/Name Change | Mojang has planned of adding email/name change to the game.[51] |
| Special biomes | Jeb stated during his Dreamhack presentation that they were planning on adding more reasons for going to specific biomes. |
| Dual-wielding | Jeb stated that Notch is working on dual-wielding of items.[52][53] |
| Portable Fireplaces/Campfires | Jeb responded in favor to a tweet about the ability to make portable "fireplaces/campfires" on the player's travels.[54] |
| Spikes or spike blocks | Jeb hinted a possibility of implementing spikes that would work like pistons but push out Spikes. He later considered making a Spike Block that could be pushed by Sticky Pistons instead.[55][56] Dinnerbone showed interest in adding spike blocks after adding Tripwire[57] |
| Display cases/racks | Notch has stated several times on Twitter that he intends to add some way to display items such as armor and weapons.[58] |
| The ability to name Chests | Notch has stated he will add this feature.[59] |
| Zipline Mod | Notch had stated that he is interested in working with the zipline mod creator to implement parts of the mod into vanilla Minecraft following MineCon.[60] As of 5/28/12, Dinnerbone has reported that he has made string place-able, one of the components present in this mod.[61] This, however, ended up being a new redstone component, tripwire. |
| Red Dragon | Notch revealed during the Seecret Friday Updates(#8) that he would add dragons. One being the Ender Dragon, the other being red.[62] Jeb informed redditors on his AMA that he would add red dragons, but was unsure exactly how.[63] |
| Pigman | User Miclee came up with the idea for Pigmen, and Notch originally planned for them to occupy NPC Villages. They are among the list of planned mobs. |
| More animals | Jon Kagstrom commented on Reddit that he would like to add more animals, such as fish, birds, and tree animals, to make the game seem more 'alive'.[64] |
| Linking Minecarts | Dinnerbone on Twitter described linking minecarts together in a chain as "something to try in the future maybe". [65] |
