Feature Description
Camera implementation[31] 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.
Redstone[31] Johan said that redstone will be mineable in 0.8.0, however, they still can't be placed as redstone wire. They are planning to add it slowly per update starting in 0.8.0
Customizable skins[32][33] Johan tweeted, in response to a question, that customizable skins will be available soon.
Skin packs[34] 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.
Replacement of the Nether Reactor[35] 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. [36]
Foods [34] Johan mentioned on the Live Stream "Minecraft Pocket Edition MCO Beta" that in a future, more foods will be added.
Wolves [37] Johan mentioned on the 0.5.0 livestream that wolves will possibly be added in the future.
Breeding [34] Johan answered a question that Breeding will be added in a no-distant future (possibly this year)
Endermen [34] Johan mentioned in the Live Stream Minecraft MCO Beta that Enderman will be added soon.
In-Game Music [34] Johan (Livestream) answered in a question that In-Game Music will be added for the next 2-3 updates now.
Enchanting [34] 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 [38] Johan said he would keep it in mind for future versions.
Add Realm to Your Worlds Menu [39] Amir said to a reply that he plans to add an 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 [40] Tommaso mentioned that he would like to add "some rocky texture" to the buttons, as the current texture is "too plain".
Flat Worlds/Shadows [41] Tommaso tweeted that he was working on flat worlds and shadows. More recently, he tweeted that shadows were planned for 0.8.0.[10]
More Difficulty Modes [42] With no specific date implied, Johan mentioned via reddit.com/r/mcpe that they'll be adding more difficulty modes.
New Blocks [13] On The Formal Friday screenshot, there appear to be textures for different colored Wooden planks, and a Redstone Repeater, possibly hinting those blocks.
