Planned features, items, and blocks
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Mod API | Minecraft will eventually have an official modding API. The release was originally planned for 1.3, and then for 1.4, but has been delayed since then.[90] |
| Virtual Reality Compatibility | Notch stated that he might make Minecraft compatible with Oculus Rift.[91] |
| More sounds and music | More gameplay music and sounds by C418.[92] |
| More Enchantments | Jeb liked the idea of having more enchantments added to the game.[citation needed] |
| Server Portals | According to Get Satisfaction, Mojang has marked a player's suggestion of Server Portals as "Planned.[93]" |
| Mounting/Controlling Mobs | The ability to mount and control mobs (possibly horses). Notch confirmed it was planned but will take time at Get Satisfaction.[94] Also Jeb said on a reddit AMA in April 2012 that he "more or less promised horses to a friend.[95]" |
| 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.[96] |
| Limited maps | The Minecraft documentary team of 2 Player Productions filmed a Keynote roadmap, also containing this line. |
| Video support | The Minecraft documentary team of 2 Player Productions filmed a Keynote roadmap, also containing this line. |
| Rainbow Crystalline Caves | A player's suggestion of Rainbow Crystalline Caves on Get Satisfaction had been marked by Mojang as a "Planned" feature.[97] |
| Dual-wielding | Jeb stated that Notch is working on dual-wielding of items.[98] |
| The ability to name Chests | Notch has stated he will add this feature.[99] |
| 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.[100] As of 5/28/12, Dinnerbone has reported that he has made string place-able, one of the components present in this mod.[101] 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.[102] Jeb informed redditors on his AMA that he would add red dragons, but was unsure exactly how.[103] |
| 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.[104] |
| The Allocator | Jeb stated he had considered adding a "funnel block"[105] |
| Online Sync of Achievements and Statistics | Notch's aim was to synchronize Achievements and Statistics online, but issues prevented this to happen. Still, there is no apparent reason for this featured to have been abandoned.[88][89] |
| 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. |
| 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.[106][107] Dinnerbone showed interest in adding spike blocks after adding Tripwire[108] |
| 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. |
| Custom Paintings | Notch has said that custom paintings may feature in a future update.[109] |
| Snow that piles up | It is unknown if this will be added but snow is already able to be at different thicknesses without using a mod. It can be obtained by using a world editor such as wordedit or mcedit.[110] |
| More World Types | There will be more World Types in the future, with the current ones being Default, Superflat and Large Biomes (As of Minecraft 1.3.2.)[citation needed] |
| New Fishing Content | Dinnerbone has stated on twitter that he has plans for new fishing content, stating that fishing isn't fun at the moment.[111] |
