Feature Description
3D clouds + Larger render distance and transparent hot-bar [13] Tommaso tweeted "So with this setting you can see the whole of an MCPE world at one glance" also stating you need an "uber-phone" for this setting (meaning that the device must be up to date and probably recently purchased). Along with this tweet was a picture taken in game from the corner of the world which shows the far render distance, 3D clouds and the transparent hot-bar.
Camera implementation[14] At the Minecraft Pocket Edition panel at MineCon 2012, as well as one of Jbernhardsson's livestreams, it was stated that future plans include trying to have a proper use for cameras, perhaps an easier way to take screenshots and share them with others. Since the addition of toggling the GUI on and off, the camera has become useless except for taking a frontal picture. It's possible that they may never implement the camera because of this feature.
Infinite worlds[14] Johan says that infinite worlds will possibly be added in 0.9.0.
Redstone[14] Johan said that redstone will be mineable in 0.8.0, however, they still won't have any use. They are planning to add it after the 0.9.0 update.
Customizable skins[15][16] Johan tweeted, in response to a question, that customizable skins will be available soon.
Skin packs[17] Johan mentioned on the 0.7.0 livestream that Skin packs will probably be added soon, or maybe they will go with customizable skins instead, or maybe even both.
Caves[18] Johan said that caves will possibly be added in 0.9.0.
Replacement of the Nether Reactor[19] Johan mentioned on the issue tracker that the Nether Reactor may be replaced in the future. However, if the Nether does get implemented, it will most likely be next year because of preparations for the Beta Release. More recently via reddit.com/r/mcpe - Johan stated that the next iteration of the Nether Reactor will be some kind of "super dungeon" and that a PC like nether is not currently on their radar. [20]
Foods [17] Johan mentioned on the Live Stream "Minecraft Pocket Edition MCO Beta" that in a future, more foods will be added.
Wolves [21] Johan mentioned on the 0.5.0 livestream that wolves will possibly be added in the future.
Breeding [17] Johan answered a question that Breeding will be added in a no-distant future (possibly this year)
Endermen [17] Johan mentioned in the Live Stream Minecraft MCO Beta that Enderman will be added soon.
In-Game Music [17] Johan (Livestream) answered in a question that In-Game Music will be added for the next 3-4 updates more.
Enchanting [17] Johan said in the Live Stream Minecraft MCO Beta "I think we will get that in the future", it is planned but he isn't sure if he can implement Enchanting.
Chat Scrolling [22] Johan said he would keep it in mind for future versions.
IP Address Join [23] Johan said on twitter before 0.7.0 released, that they need to get out the 0.7.0 update of Pocket Edition before they can consider the join by IP idea.
Add Realm to Your Worlds Menu [24] Amir said to a reply that he plans to add a option available to add the current Realm your in onto your worlds menu, making it playable. It is on their features list and is planned to be added in Beta.
Change of texture to buttons [25] Tommaso mentioned that he would like to add "some rocky texture" to the buttons, as the current texture is "too plain".
Flat Worlds/Shadows [26] Tommaso tweeted that he was working on flat worlds and shadows.
More Difficulty Modes [27] With no specific date implied, Johan mentioned via reddit.com/r/mcpe that they'll be adding more difficulty modes.
