Other planned features, items, and blocks

Feature Description
Better controls for larger devices [18] Tommaso said via reddit/r/mcpe that more reachable controls for larger devices would be something "cool" to add in the future.
Camera implementation[19] 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 [20] Tommaso mentioned that he would like to add "some rocky texture" to the buttons, as the current texture is "too plain".
Chat Scrolling [21] Johan said he would keep it in mind for future versions.
Commands[22] Since 0.7.4, if you type in anything preceded with a / like a command from the PC Edition, it will say "Command [whatwasaftertheslash] not found", hinting that there may be pre-programmed commands in the code, but not fully implemented. Tommaso hinted that Commands might be fully implemented in 0.9
Crafting Improvements[23] Tomasso said that the crafting system would need to be changed in order to accommodate blocks and items with lots of variations, such as carpets.
Day-night cycle in Creative Mode[24] Tommaso has stated that a day-night cycle is being experimented with and has officially confirmed that night will not be in creative in 0.8.0, because it is still extremely buggy.
Enchanting [25] 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.
Flat Worlds [26] Tommaso tweeted that he was working on flat worlds.
Increased Height Limit [27] 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 [28] With no specific date implied, Johan mentioned via reddit.com/r/mcpe that they'll be adding more difficulty modes.
In-Game Music [25] Johan answered in a question in the 0.7 livestream that In-Game Music will be added in the next 2-3 updates, which at the time would have been either 0.9 or 1.0.
New Survival Menu[29] Johan mentioned that a new survival menu would also be seen in the future updates.
OpenGL ES Upgrade[30][31] According to Tomasso, sometime after 0.9.0, MCPE will use OpenGL ES 2.0, which will allow for new changes such as an updated sound engine and mipmaps on Android.
Redstone[19][32] Johan said that redstone will be mineable in 0.8.0, however, it still can't be placed as redstone dust. They are planning to add it slowly per update starting in 0.8.0.
Replacement of the Nether Reactor[33][34] 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. in reply to a comment on reddit, Tomasso stated he has thought about it for 9.0
Wolves [35] Johan mentioned on the 0.5.0 livestream that wolves will possibly be added in the future. More recently, Jeb stated that wolves would require a new AI system, which has begun to be added in 0.8 .[36]
