Feature Description
Breeding [36] Johan answered a question that Breeding will be added in a no-distant future (possibly this year)
Camera implementation[37] 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.
Change of main menu button texture [38] Tommaso mentioned that he would like to add "some rocky texture" to the buttons, as the current texture is "too plain".
Chat Scrolling [39] Johan said he would keep it in mind for future versions.
Commands[40] There have been rumors of commands existing in the 0.7.4 Pocket Edition update and after. If you type in "/gamemode 1" or any other command in the chat like you do in the PC version of Minecraft, it will say "Invalid Command", hinting that there may be pre-programmed commands in the code, just not fully implemented.
Customizable skins[41][42] Johan tweeted, in response to a question, that customizable skins will be available soon. He later mentioned on the 0.7.0 livestream[36] that Skin packs will probably be added soon. It is unknown if we will be having both user-created skins and skin packs, or just one of them.
Day-night cycle in Creative Mode[43] Tommaso has stated that a day-night cycle is being experimented with and has officially confirmed that night will not be in creative in the 0.8.0 , because it is still extremely buggy.
Enchanting [36] 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.
Endermen [36] Johan mentioned in the Live Stream Minecraft MCO Beta that Enderman will be added soon.
Flat Worlds [44] Tommaso tweeted that he was working on flat worlds.
Foods [36] Johan mentioned on the Live Stream "Minecraft Pocket Edition MCO Beta" that in a future, more foods will be added. Carrots, potatoes, and pumpkin pies also appear to be planned for 0.8.0.
Increased Height Limit [45] Tommaso has said that right now, a 256-block height limit causes too much lag to be added. He has considered it for the future.
More Difficulty Modes [46] With no specific date implied, Johan mentioned via reddit.com/r/mcpe that they'll be adding more difficulty modes.
In-Game Music [36] Johan (Livestream) answered in a question that In-Game Music will be added in the next 2-3 updates, which at the time would have been either 0.9.0-1.0.0
New Survival Menu/New Controls[26] Initially planned for 0.8.0, new controls allowing for sneaking and sprinting were pushed back to later versions by Johan. Also mentioned by Johan, was that a new survival menu would also be seen in the future updates.
Redstone[37] Johan said that redstone will be mineable in 0.8.0, however, they still can't be placed as redstone dust. They are planning to add it slowly per update starting in 0.8.0. A screenshot posted by Johan shows the textures for redstone repeaters and pistons, possibly hinting those blocks.[25]
Replacement of the Nether Reactor[47] 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. [48]
Wolves [49] Johan mentioned on the 0.5.0 livestream that wolves will possibly be added in the future.
