Jump to navigation Jump to search

Many features have been mentioned for inclusion in Minecraft Earth.

This page describes features that were mentioned but did not appear in the game.

Mobs[edit | edit source]

Goodbye poster[edit | edit source]

Minecraft Earth's goodbye poster, which shows many original game mobs that went unused due to Earth's discontinuation. Notable examples include an enderman, a ghast, and cats with the Jellie and Tuxedo coats.

These mobs appear on the goodbye poster[1] from the Minecraft Earth Twitter account, but were not present in the game. Three of them, the teacup pig, entangled sheep, and undead rabbit, are brand-new mobs never seen anywhere else, which presumably would have been implemented into Minecraft Earth had the game not been discontinued.

Reverse chicken jockey[edit | edit source]

Sticky note sketches[edit | edit source]

In three images that the Minecraft Earth developer Flexology shared on the Minecraft Earth discord server, there are concept sketches on sticky notes for several unimplemented Minecraft Earth mobs, including the Mooboom, the Fish in Chaps, and a Deer-like mob. The Mooboom seems to be the most developed of the concepts. It appears to be a cow made out of TNT, with dynamite sticks for horns, a fuse for a tail, and the letters "TNT" written on its sides. Some of the concept sketches depict it being ignited and exploding, alongside various puns on its name, including and limited to Moo-Boom, Cow-Booooom, and Mooboooooooom.[4] One of the sketches was confirmed to be the Pokémon, Wooloo[5].

World of Minecraft concept mobs[edit | edit source]

In The World of Minecraft, concept art pieces for many unimplemented Minecraft Earth mobs can be seen:

Spawn Eggs[edit | edit source]

One of the game's artists shared the inventory icons of several unimplemented spawn eggs:

Minecraft Earth: Apple WWDC Gameplay Reveal[edit | edit source]

A player head in the inventory.

During the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference of 2019[6], an early version of Minecraft Earth was showcased. Some of the items or mobs that were shown didn't make their way into the game or were changed between the presentation and release.

Player head[edit | edit source]

A player head is present in Saxs Persson's inventory. The head resembles Lydia Winters' Minecraft skin.

Villager[edit | edit source]

A blacksmith villager can be seen on the top of the tower. They couldn't be obtained in the retail game and were absent from the files. Villagers were also seen in a Twitter video[7] and post[8] respectivly.

Baby mobs[edit | edit source]

A baby muddy pig can be seen at the end of the presentation. In the released version of Minecraft Earth baby mobs cannot be spawned; throwing a chicken egg causes an adult chicken to hatch instead of a baby one.

One of the game's artists also shared the inventory icons of several unimplemented baby mobs:

Other items[edit | edit source]

Other smaller items seen in the events are:

Texture changes[edit | edit source]

Mob of Me[edit | edit source]

The mob of me summoned in the event has the agent spawn egg texture instead of its inventory icon.

Discord Q&A[edit | edit source]

The developers answered questions on the game's Discord server. It turned out that they planned to add a lot of content from Minecraft to the game, in particular:

Villagers[edit | edit source]

It was planned to add villagers and trading in some special form to the game.[9] Perhaps players could get emeralds, the textures of which were already in the game files.

Enchanting[edit | edit source]

The game, according to the developers, could have featured the ability to enchant player's weapons.[10] Obviously, the developers would not have done it directly as in Minecraft, but perhaps a new tab appeared in the Make Stuff menu where the player could enchant their weapons.

Day/night cycle[edit | edit source]

The developers planned to add a day/night cycle to the game that could last 20 real minutes. However, this was not the final result, and they did not make a final decision.[11]

Nether[edit | edit source]

It was planned to add the Nether and all the blocks necessary for this, including unused obsidian. According to the developers, the user interface was to turn red and the map was to change as well.[12]

Map and tappables updating[edit | edit source]

According to the developers, they planned to add a lot of new tappables and map biomes to the game. However, it was not clear whether the biomes would depend on a real natural area or would appear randomly.[13][14]

Fishing[edit | edit source]

It was also planned to add fishing to the game. The game already had an icon of cod and buckets of cod and pufferfish, but there was no icon of the fishing rod itself, nor of the fishing mechanics.[15]
