Since the beginning of Minecraft's development, there have been a number of features that were mentioned by developers at Mojang Studios. These features are either currently planned and have not yet appeared in a development version or have simply been dropped entirely.

Note that this page only documents features that were mentioned, but are not yet in the game. Features in development versions are described on the parent version page.

Announced

Planned

These features are planned to come to Minecraft sometime in the future.

Combat changes

Main article: Java Edition Combat Tests

A new combat system is currently in development, containing changes such as the player only being able to attack when their weapon is fully drawn. However, as of 2025, the latest combat test is Combat Test 8c, which was released in August 2020.

Illager variants

In 2017, a jocular suggestion regarding adding more types of illagers was posted. One of them, the pillager, has been implemented in Village & Pillage. The spin-off game Minecraft Dungeons introduced many such illagers, such as enchanters, geomancers, and wind callers. One of them, the iceologer, was an option in the Mob Vote at Minecraft Live 2020. In 2024, an episode of The Story of Mobs implied that even more illagers were planned.[1]

Voted updates

The desert and savanna biome reworks are the two remaining biome frameworks from the MINECON Earth 2018 Biome Chooser vote. Although no date has been given, both are promised to be updated in a future update:[2][3]

  • Deserts will be given palm trees, oases, and meerkats.
  • Savannas will be given baobab trees, termites, and ostriches.

The badlands biome rework is the last remaining biome rework from the MINECON Live 2019 Biome Vote, as the winning mountains rework was implemented in Caves & Cliffs, and the swamp rework was part of The Wild Update. The badlands are promised to be updated in an unspecified future update:

  • Badlands will be given vultures, tumbleweed, and a new cactus based on the Prickly Pear.

Java Edition 25w06a implemented short dry grass and tall dry grass, superficially similar to tumbleweeds, and cactus flowers, superficially resembling prickly pears. It is not known if these were natural evolutions of these concepts or separate implementations, and therefore if said features are still planned; importantly, these are desert features as opposed to badlands features.

Other live votes did not promise that the losing options would be planned; for information on those features, see the "Mentioned" section.

  • Upcoming desert features.

Partially implemented

Mobs

Mob Vote

Main article: Community Vote

More ocean creatures

Markus Persson commented that sea monsters were a possibility on Minecast on July 21, 2010.[4] He particularly noted the possibility of sharks, though Mojang has since then denied that they will be added.[citation needed] At MinecraftCon 2010, he also commented on the possibility of adding sea monsters.[5] Hostile aquatic mobs like the guardian and drowned have been added since then. Another developer hinted about adding mobs involved adding seals/sea lions and/or orcas.[6]

Pigman bodyguard

The original pigman texture.

Development of a male mob which may have had no clothes was also mentioned by Nathan Adams in 2012,[7][8][9] but this is not currently being worked on. On April 14, 2020, Nathan Adams clarified that the mob was going to be a pigman bodyguard, which was naked by default so that the player could provide armor for it.[10]

Red dragon

Markus Persson revealed during the 8th Seecret Friday Update that he was planning to add dragons.[11] Later, he mentioned dragons again during MINECON 2010.[12]

On October 12th, 2011, he announced on Twitter that after the addition of the ender dragon, he was planning to add "slightly less dangerous" red dragons, which would be able to land and wouldn't destroy terrain.[13]

Dragons in the Overworld
Dragons were originally planned for the Overworld.

In a Reddit thread on the same day, when questioned about how ender dragons phase through blocks, Notch went on record saying that "less overpowered" red dragons in the Overworld that wouldn't go through terrain would eventually be added.[14][15] However, the red dragon has not subsequently been added.

Jens Bergensten informed participants of his AMA on Reddit that he would add red dragons, but was unsure exactly how.[16]

On October 22, 2013, Nathan Adams tweeted that the red dragon is "shelved" and not in development.

“

It was never promised, we have no plans to add a red dragon at this time.

„
— Dinnerbone [17]

Later, on December 15, 2013, a Nathan Adams post on Reddit indicated his belief that red dragons likely will be implemented at some point:

“

I'm sure one day there will be. Not right now though.

„
— Dinnerbone[18]

This was also turned into a joke by Brandon Pearce.[19]

Zach and Coco

In November 2018, a poll was held in which users could vote on which cat should be added to Minecraft. There were three options: Jellie, Zach, or Coco.[20][21] Jellie won the vote and was added to the game in Village & Pillage.[22][23] It is unknown whether the other two cats will be added.

  • Jellie, Zach and Coco

Blocks

Spike block

Spikes received a mention in mid-2009 by Notch in a blog post.[24] These were originally planned for Java Edition Beta 1.7,[citation needed] working by extending and retracting spikes (and making them more "spike pistons" than anything),[citation needed] but were replaced by sticky pistons.[citation needed] On May 28, 2012, Nathan Adams stated that he'd like to add spike blocks, but is unsure of how to implement them.[25]

Caves & Cliffs implemented pointed dripstone, which can damage mobs and players that fall on them, or are crushed by them.

Items

Paddle

On September 19, 2014, Tommaso stated that when adding boats to Pocket Edition, he would add a "paddle" item,[26] which would be required to move boats.[27] Paddles were never implemented as items, but rather as part of the boat model. The crafting recipe used to require a wooden shovel to represent the paddle. As of the 1.20.10 update, a wooden shovel is no longer required to craft a boat or raft in Bedrock Edition.

Rare tools/weapons

Nathan Adams said on Twitter he would like to add weapons/tools that cannot be crafted, and could only obtained through treasure chests/trading, etc. For example, bows with faster drawback (somewhat implemented with the addition of Quick Charge), boots that increase health, or night vision helmets. However, the attribute system had to be finished first.[28][29][30][31]

Several later additions that follow this rough idea are the Frost Walker and Mending treasure enchantments, as well as the Curses of Binding and Vanishing, and totems of undying. Furthermore, tridents were implemented in Update Aquatic, and in the Nether Update the Soul Speed enchantment was added and made exclusively obtainable through bartering with piglins. In the Wild Update, Swift Sneak was added as an enchantment exclusive to ancient cities, and Tricky Trials added the mace, as well as making tridents available in vaults, along with the Wind Burst enchantment being exclusive to said vaults.

Steel

Multiple references to steel were made early on in the game's development. Notch had stated that it could be made using coal and iron ore,[24] and that it could be used for armor and weapons more powerful than iron.[32] In-game, flint and steel is crafted using iron ingots, considering the lack of steel and the need of a “fire striker”, despite the name of the former.

Mechanics

Farming nerf

Somewhere in 1.16, developers stated that certain changes would be made to functionality exploited in several farms. In particular:

  • Fortress mobs can spawn anywhere inside of the boundary of a nether fortress rather than only at the roads.
  • Angry zombified piglins drop experience even when not killed by the player directly.

The sculk mechanics introduced in 1.19 may be intended as a replacement.

Sky dimension

Main article: Sky dimension
A plain sky dimension.

The Sky dimension was a planned dimension, intended to be the opposite of the Nether. It could be accessed using third-party programs, but portals to the Sky dimension were never implemented. The idea was ultimately scrapped[33][34][35][36][37][38] and its code was reused to make the End, which can be seen in versions prior to 14w17a as the End's technical biome was still referred to in the debug menu as "Sky".

Unlike the Sky dimension, the End has a dark purple sky, no clouds, and the floating islands are made entirely of end stone.

With the addition of the buffet functionality in Java Edition 1.13 snapshot 18w15a, this can be distantly recreated by using the "Floating Islands" option. The addition of custom world generation in Java Edition 1.16.2 snapshot 20w28a also included a minecraft:floating_islands noise preset offering similar functionality.

Feedback site

This section needs to be updated.
 
Please update this section to reflect recent updates or newly available information.

On the feedback site, several posts have been marked as "under review" by Mojang. These include:

Some of these features have either partially or entirely been added, but are still marked as "under review".

Delayed or scrapped

These features were initially promised to be implemented in a specific update, but were later postponed and have not currently been made part of another update.

Alpaca

In 2016, Jeb was planning on adding alpacas, but due to other developers wanting llamas instead, he held an informal poll on Twitter in which the public voted on adding the llama over the alpaca.[39][40]

Colored lighting

Ryan Holtz mentioned in 2013 that colored lighting was being experimented on and might come in the future.[41] Later he shared screenshots and a video of what this unimplemented colored lighting looked like, claiming it was never implemented due to not being performant enough.[42] Colored torches were later added in Minecraft Education, however they do not use colored lighting.

Colored wood planks

Original image of proposed colored wood planks released by Nathan Adams.

Nathan Adams briefly thought about implementing colored wood planks, releasing a test image on his Twitter page. This however never got implemented, as can be seen from the following quotes. The idea was eventually replaced with stained terracotta.

Later updates have since then introduced new wood sets resembling some of the dyed plank colors, with The Update that Changed the World adding orange and brown planks in the form of acacia and dark oak wood, the Nether Update adding magenta and cyan planks in the form of crimson and warped wood, The Wild Update adding red planks in the form of mangrove wood, Trails & Tales adding yellow and pink planks in the form of bamboo and cherry wood, and The Garden Awakens adding white planks in the form of pale oak wood.

Cubic chunks

This refers to changing the chunk format to make chunks 16 blocks tall, allowing for infinite world height. Ryan Holtz discussed it with Erik Broes, but they decided they couldn't implement it, because of the difficulty of solving problems such as the occlusion of sky light.[46] The feature was previously rejected by Notch for similar reasons.[47]

Coral slab

Screenshot of the footage in which coral slabs can be seen.

In early footage of the Update Aquatic seen at MINECON Earth 2017, slab forms of coral blocks can be seen generated as part of coral reefs. These never made it into a released version for reasons unknown.

Dirt slab

The dirt slabs, replacing all the dirt (not grass) blocks.

Before stone slabs were added to 0.26, Notch ran a test of dirt slabs.[48] They proved to mess with the terrain and and they generated on top of each other (right) and, thus, never implemented.

Fletching table functionality

Fletching tables are set to gain functionality in a later update, similar to what happened with smithing tables (originally added as a generic villager job site block and then received player functionality in a future update). Originally, this was planned for "the next major themed update".[49] Later, it was stated that functionality wasn't a guarantee for 1.16.[50] Later, it was confirmed that fletching tables wouldn’t be gaining functionality in 1.16.[51] To this day, they still have no functionality beyond serving as the workplace block for fletcher villagers.

Firefly

Main article: Firefly (mob)

Fireflies were originally going to be eaten by frogs to produce froglights, but this was scrapped due to the fact that some species of fireflies are poisonous to some species of frogs in real life.[52] They would have glowed in the dark and been two pixels in size, which would have made them the smallest mob in the game. It was officially confirmed that they were scrapped for the 1.19 update in an Ask Mojang episode.[53] It was later implemented in the form of a particle generated by firefly bushes in Java Edition 25w05a, rather than as a mob.

Green axolotl

This mob was seen at Minecraft Live 2020 as part of the axolotl announcement. The mob was presumed to be added in the Caves and Cliffs update, but wasn't added alongside the other axolotl colors shown. They also later appeared in the update trailer despite not actually existing in the game.

Sculk jaw

This block was seen at Minecraft Live 2020 as part of the deep dark announcement. Walking on it would change its texture, and it is presumed that it would do damage to the player and that it could be broken with the hoe like with other sculk blocks.

The block was presumed to be added in The Wild Update, but kingbdogz revealed that it was unlikely to be added in the final release.[54] In the end it was not added.

Updates to birch forests and other biomes

At Minecraft Live 2021, it was stated that The Wild Update would focus on biome diversity and immersion, giving a unique identity and atmosphere to different biomes. The birch forest was used as an example to demonstrate this new atmosphere, and concept art pieces depicting an improved birch forest with new flowers, shelf fungi, tree branches and fallen, hollow logs were shown. Also shown was swamp concept art with fireflies and flowering lily pads.

Later it was stated that "concept art is not a commitment" and that this part of the update was now "not something we have continued working with" in an Ask Mojang episode.[53]

The flowers and fireflies were later implemented in Spring Drop 2025 as wildflowers and firefly bushes. The bracket fungi, branches, hollow log blocks, tall flowers and water lilies are yet to see an implementation.

Mentioned

These features were mentioned at one point, but later abandoned or their current status is unknown. Note that some of these features were mentioned by developers who either no longer work at Mojang Studios, or no longer work on Minecraft.

Mobs

Camouflaging mob

A mob which camouflages with its environment was a concept considered by Jens Bergensten when designing the shulker, which was originally one of the mob's mechanics during development - the mob would camouflage with the surroundings, but due to difficulties with the code and rendering, he decided to abandon this element of the mob. He stated however that it may happen in the future.[55]

Lava zombie and troll

Before the implementation of hostile mobs, Notch stated that he liked the idea of monsters such as lava zombies or troll infestations which would roam the land and break things. Later, the zombie was implemented.[56]

Prefix mobs

Notch mentioned prefix mobs in a Brocraft stream. He gave examples of mobs such as "Burning Spiders, Giant Zombies, and Cobble Creepers." Some prefix mobs have been added in the form of cave spiders, charged creepers, strays, bogged, husks, drowned, and other mob variants. Giant zombies have technically been added, but are currently unused. In the 3D Shareware April Fools update, the ORDER.txt jokingly mentions "11 new enemy variants including Buff Crepper and Evilshroom II" for a fake game: "MineCraft 3D: Deeper and darker."

Reindeer

Reindeer were another mob acknowledged and suggested initially for Christmas 2015.[57] Minecraft Earth version 0.6.0 added the Jolly Llama, which is supposed to represent a reindeer.

Biomes and environment

Cave and underground features

Many features relating to the underground and caves have been mentioned historically, but are yet to be seen in-game. Some suggestions which were approved by Mojang include rainbow crystalline caves[58] and cave maps, considered "an interesting idea" by Notch.[59]

Seasons

Nathan Adams mentioned on Twitter that he was experimenting with adding seasons, and varying the length of day and night according to season. He also mentioned it during Minecon 2013.[60][61] Seasons may include changes in color of tree leaves and may also be tied to real time.[62] The later released Minecraft Dungeons has a location called Pumpkin Pastures, which resembles an autumn-themed forest biome. Autumn-colored trees also appear in forest biomes in Minecraft Legends.

Nether features

Multiple features relating to the Nether have been proposed and acknowledged, such as utilizing the space above the Nether ceiling for something else,[63] non-rectangular nether portals,[64] and nether portals placing players in front if possible.[65]

During the development of the Nether Update, other ideas were discussed, such as dyeable nether portals, which were dismissed as not being priority by Jeb.[66] As a joke feature in Java Edition 20w14∞, funky portals were added and would change color depending on the text data found in a written book.

Blocks and items

Scarecrows

Scarecrows were mentioned multiple times. In Minecraft: The Story of Mojang, Jeb mentioned the possibility of a scarecrow crafted using a pumpkin, wool block and 3 sticks, which would attract monsters.[67] He brought this up again later in a reddit comment, stating "The reason I haven't added it already is that the mob AI assumes the target is an entity, and not a world block. I would either have to make the scarecrow an entity, or allow mobs to target blocks."[68] Armor stands would later be added as a stationary entity with a similar appearance to a scarecrow. Village & Pillage added pillager outposts, which can generate a scarecrow-like target structure.

Technical

Java Edition

Blaze3D

A new Java Edition rendering pipeline called Blaze3D has been confirmed many times by Searge.[69]​[more information needed] There are also many references to this system in the game files, although it has not yet been fully implemented.[verify][70]

Making Blaze3D open-source has been considered.[71]

Explosion smoke

In Java Edition 1.15 Pre-release 1, black smoke particles which were emitted by explosions were removed due to poor implementation, which was a major source of explosion-related lag. Reintroduction of these particles is planned for an unspecified future version.[72]

Full split of liquids from blocks

Java Edition 1.13 added waterlogging, marking the start of the separation between liquids and blocks. An in-development screenshot showing water occupying leaves and flowers, referred to as having "no water blocks", was released in 2018.[73] However, water and lava still currently exist as blocks, and so far only water sources can occupy other blocks through the waterlogged block state; flowing water and bubble columns cannot occupy other blocks, and both still and flowing lava cannot occupy other blocks at all.

Having water only occupy one side of a block like a glass pane, but not the other, is also something that has been considered.[74]

Phasing out of NBT-based crafting recipes

In Java Edition 1.14, numerous new blocks were implemented as replacements for certain "complex" crafting recipes, with the replaced crafting recipes relying on NBT data. This included moving inventory tool repair to the grindstone, banner modification to the loom, and map modification to the cartography table. However, several more NBT based crafting recipes still exist (such as fireworks, dyeing leather armor and tipped arrows), and these are planned to be phased out.[75] Certain blocks that may be added in the future to further this goal include a dedicated fireworks customization block.

In Java Edition 1.14.3, tool repair crafting recipes were reimplemented.

Java Edition 1.20.5 adds data components to replace the non-strict item NBT format, all item data is still stored in NBT but uses a stricter way to access the data to keep the data structure consistent.

Shaders

On the feedback site, shaders (resource packs that override the vanilla shaders) were marked as announced, meaning that they were going to be implemented. This feature was partially implemented in 1.16 and 1.17, as resource packs can enable similar effects.

While core shaders can be modified with resource packs, this is not considered a supported feature by Mojang. Different methods to change the game's graphics to the extent that overriding core shaders allows may be implemented at some point.[76]

Super Fancy graphics

Docm77 confirmed in a tweet that sometime in the future, a new graphics setting will be added to Minecraft called "super fancy". It is unknown whether it is the "Fabulous!" graphics setting added in Java Edition 1.16 Pre-release 1 or another new one. The use of OpenGL 3.2 for rendering in Java Edition 1.17 may lead toward the Super Fancy graphics. This could also be a reference to the Ray Tracing functionality in Bedrock Edition or the scrapped Super Duper Graphics Pack.[77]

Inventory changes

An inventory rewrite was originally added in the snapshot 14w07a for Java Edition 1.8, but a roadblock was hit and Mojang had to shelve the change before the release of 1.8.[78] Other changes to the inventory have been mentioned, including spectators being able to look at other's inventories, visible health/armor bar on all players,[79] seeing players' GUI when spectating from their POV[80] and the return of shift-double-clicking.[81][82]

Lua scripting

Lua Scripting was a feature mentioned by Notch as a way to create server-side modifications.[83] The server would be able to create custom commands, assign certain server functions to blocks, and create user groups. Players would not have to download scripts within or outside of the client, and therefore no client-side modifications will be necessary. Notch said that he wanted Lua to be an extension for Minecraft, but did not want Lua to turn Minecraft into a game engine.

Lua scripting has been further hinted at by Searge.[69]

Certain plugins such as Spigot or Bukkit support Lua scripting implementation into servers, however these plugins are not created by nor affiliated with Mojang Studios and thus are not an official means in which to implement Lua scripting.

Off-hand changes

Changes with the off-hand slot added in Java Edition 1.9 were planned on being added to Minecraft sometime in the future.[84] Specifically, the player would no longer be able to attack or place blocks with any item in their off-hand slot, similar to Bedrock Edition. However, players would still be able to hold items in the off-hand slot, which still made the off-hand useful for maps and such. Also, blocking would still be able to be activated if the player is holding a shield in their off-hand. However, this regression was later retracted due to massive community backlash.

Workbench (Plugin API)

For the current implementation of modding API made by the community, see Mod.

The Plugin API,[85][86] dubbed "Workbench", was a feature that would have allowed mod developers to easily add more content to the game. In contrast to mods, plugins will not require any alteration of the minecraft.jar file itself, although they will also be slightly limited in their feature set.[87][88] The Bukkit team was to help make the official Plugin API.[89]

Plans for official game customization date back to July 5, 2010, with the Modding API planned after the release of Java Edition Alpha v1.0.1_01.[90] It was then stated to be released in Beta 1.8.[91] The Modding API was then rebranded as the Plugin API,[92][93] with the release originally stated to be planned for 1.3, then for 1.4, and then it was accidentally stated by Curse that it would be implemented in 1.5.[94][95]

At MINECON 2012, Mojang shared their vision for the future of the Plugin API.[96] The API was to be developed by the Bukkit team[88] and intended to simplify the modding[97][98][99] and downloading process,[100][101][102] although containing a slightly limited feature set.[103][88] After initially publishing a developer website (http://dev.minecraft.net) and GitHub page, these were both taken down within a year.

Developers on numerous occasions have mentioned that many changes made in the game's code were in preparation for the Plugin API, including Nathan Adams on July 29, 2014,[104] Grum at the "The Minecraft Team - Behind the Scenes" panel on July 5, 2015[105] and Nathan Adams again on October 19, 2015 while working on the loot tables for Java Edition 1.9.[106] A user replied "I think an official "we're working on it" would really help a lot"[107] to which Nathan Adams replied, "We're working on it."[108] Since then, no further developments have been made regarding Plugin API.

Bedrock Edition

These features are exclusive to Bedrock Edition.
 
RTX

Minecraft may be ported to Xbox Series X|S, which would support ray tracing.[109] However, as of March 31, 2022, there are currently no plans of adding ray tracing support for Xbox Series X|S.[110]

World generation

The Far Biome.
Unimplemented waves effect.
Unimplemented 3D grass effect.

There have been a number of mentioned changes to world generation from the developers. Tommaso had planned a Far biome (probably changed Far Lands, made into its own biome), found at the edge of infinite worlds was going to be implemented in 0.9.0 but was delayed for unknown reasons.[111][112][113][114][115] He also proposed a unique underworld underground structure[116] and a dream dimension,[117] however, none of these ideas (other than the "unique underground structure", which was added as the ancient city) came to fruition.

Tommaso stated on Reddit that he would like to add a "difficulty" number that mobs could have depending on their circumstances, such as resource that it spawns from and weather.[118] This would vary the amount of hostile mobs at night and the amount of resources gained from each biome. He also stated that he would like more biome-specific mobs as well as biomes with specific difficulty/mob distributions (Partially added with more biome-specific mobs added in the last couple updates).

Tommaso also experimented with several other unimplemented world generation related features that were either not implemented or else only implemented much later, such as much larger caves,[119][120] waves in water,[121] short 3D grass on top of grass blocks,[122] and worlds over 400 blocks tall.[123]

Many of these ideas were reiterated again at MINECON 2016, where the developers stated they could either port the world generation changes from PC (added in Caves & Cliffs) or create a new world generation altogether. They said this new world generation system could have a better progression over time with harder biomes further from spawn, more space underground (also added in Caves & Cliffs), possibly raising the sea level to Y=96 and making the terrain less predictable (also added in Caves & Cliffs).[124]

As the world generation got completely overhauled in Bedrock Edition 1.18.0 for the first time since Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha, and with the new caves, Terrain port from Java Edition, and the addition of ancient cities, four of the mentioned changes were/are officially added into the game, with one being partially added (more biome-specific mobs).

At MINECON 2016, the developers mentioned potential future improvements to the controls to make them vector-based, allowing full mouse support on Android (added in 1.17.0) and having better in-built controller support.[124]

In addition, at a previous panel, they also mentioned the ability to remap long touch to hardness-based touch (3D Touch) for capable iPhones.[117]

In a Twitch stream previewing the Nintendo Switch version, the developers mentioned that they would like to look into adding motion-controlled aiming, but currently have no plans to add it.[125]

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse support was added to iOS and iPadOS devices in 1.19.10[126]

Other world sizes

Tommaso stated on Reddit that they may make other limited world sizes available, in addition to the Old world type (256×256). Mentioned world sizes were 1000×1000 and 10000×10000.[127] The addition of different world sizes was again mentioned at MINECON 2016.[124]

Loading external files on console

Roger Carpenter talked about this in a stream of the 1.2 beta for Xbox One.[128] They would like for the console versions to support the loading of files from external media such as a USB stick. This would allow the use of Add-Ons, custom worlds, skins and resource packs, etcetera, like on the other platforms. However, console companies are worried about "security issues" that this could cause. Other games that loaded content from external media have sometimes been exploited by hackers to run unauthorized code on consoles. If loading add-ons from external media is not an option, they would "work it out some other way". (Partially added with full add-on and behavior packs support for Xbox One)

Brief mentions

These features were briefly mentioned, but no further information was given after it's mention.

General features
  • More dimensions.[129]
  • Partially implemented: More rare structures and terrain changes.[130]
More specific features

Mentioned in 2009

  • In early development, Markus Persson mentioned two more gamemodes, Team Survival Mode and Fortress Mode, which would include the ability to play Capture the Flag.[131]
    • Additionally, difficulty modes were mentioned on of which were: "Walk in the Park" being the easiest, "Easy" which was added, and "Armageddon" being difficult even with 32 people.[132]
  • Partially implemented: Cobweb blocks being created by spiders[133].

Mentioned in 2010

Recreation of what swinging doors could have looked like.
Notch briefly considered adding a "white eyed creepy mob" in response to the popularity of Herobrine.
  • Animated swinging doors.[134]
  • Partially implemented: Megabeasts were mentioned as a potential addition for late-game challenges along with ill omens followed by "a night of absolute horror". Ideas of ill omens were flickering torches and a big red eye appearing on the moon which would look around.[135][136][137][138]
  • A realism slider for difficulty.[139]
  • Colliding clouds.[140][141]
  • Server portals.[142]
  • Partially implemented: Dungeon Mode: Same as Survival mode, except players can't craft or modify the world. Planned to have been used to play missions on pre-made maps.[143]
  • "Clan" mode. Most likely the same as Team Survival mode mentioned in 2009.[143]
  • Server-side scripting.[143]
  • Land claim flags: planting a flag (possibly costs gold in Survival mode) claims an area of land. No monsters can spawn or die from age in that area, and only selected players can build in that area.[143]
  • Smoke block: would be generated by fire, be passable, cast shadows, float upward and disappear after a short time.[143]
    • Village & Pillage added campfires, which generate smoke particles similar to what was mentioned, but they are not blocks and do not cast shadows.
  • Gravity; all blocks except possibly obsidian would be affected by gravity. Floating islands would need obsidian blobs to stay afloat.[143] Markus Persson later stated that he disliked the idea.[144]
  • In-game anti-cheat; make the server check for flying, no-clip and increased speed. Add those options to the client, but only enable if the server says it's okay.[143]
  • Partially implemented: Make moss grow on rock (likely means that mossy cobblestone would spread to cobblestone)[143].
    • In 1.17, glow lichen was introduced which functions similarly to the idea growing on stone in caves and spreading with bone meal.
  • Herobrine.[145][146][147]
  • Omelettes and cheese.[5]
  • Friendly/evil goblins in villages.[5]
  • Furniture.[5]
  • Floodgates.[5]
  • Light level at night being affected by moon phase.[5]
  • Clouds as entities with shadows.[5]
  • Teleporters.[5]

Mentioned in 2011

  • The ability to choose what work saves to the level files.[148]
  • Scarecrows.[149][150]
    • Village & Pillage added pillager outposts, which can generate a scarecrow-like target structure.
  • Partially implemented: Custom paintings.[151]
    • Partially implemented as data-driven paintings with datapacks
  • Hand-drawn signs.[151]
  • "Stone chunks", which would be obtained by smelting gravel and would be used to craft stone bricks.[152]

Mentioned in 2012

Giant spiders in a village.

Mentioned in 2013

A dispenser minecart.
  • Minecart with dispenser.[164]
    • The image may have just been showcasing the custom tile displays in minecarts which were added in the next snapshot, 13w02a.
  • Nathan Adams's original demonstration of the .mcmeta format for resource packs contained a sample properties file for fonts to determine character size and spacing.[165] Despite the game code containing the code to read the files, it never actually uses them leaving character width and spacing to be determined dynamically. Partially implemented in 22w11a and 23w17a with the technical changes for fonts.
  • Enchanted items apply attributes on use.[166]
    • Original tweet's goal was implemented with the addition of slowness inflicted from Bane of Arthropods, enchantments applying attributes more generally was implemented with the addition of data driven enchantments.
  • Adding more places to display scoreboard scores.[167]
  • A better UI for server admins/ops, inspired by the Twitch user moderation menu.[168]
  • Better construction analysis.[169]
  • Partially implemented: A new system that could alter weapon behavior.[170]
    • This has been partially implemented in Java Edition 15w34a with the implementation of attack speed.
  • Easier way to implement terrain changes.[130]
  • Portable light (e.g. holding a torch in the hand which provides light).[171]
  • Blocks of charcoal, mentioned as something that would need to be implemented as to not complicate the existence of blocks of coal.[172]
  • Smelting red sand into red glass.[173]
  • Demo/lite version re-release[112]

Mentioned in 2014

Unimplemented red glass smelting recipe.
Screenshot of the cloud height slider.

Mentioned in 2015

  • Corn.[189]
  • Partially implemented: In-game lore.[190]
    • Implemented in the April Fools' update Java Edition 20w14∞, where books written by "§kDeepest Lore" would appear in End Ship chests, containing short, obfuscated and unserious "orders".
  • Making it so shields are used to block attacks from the side the shield is held on.[191]
  • Allowing mobs to have additional random skins, similar to the kind of variation seen in horses, cats, wolves and rabbits. With the addition of the 1.21.5, the pig, chicken, and cow got additional variant. [192]
  • Partially implemented: Giving /clone the ability to rotate and mirror structures.[193][194] Structure blocks were later given the ability to rotate structures.

  • If a piston gets powered and is unable to push, showing a smoke particle effect and playing a small "clunk" sound.[201]
  • If the bow used to craft a dispenser is enchanted, making the arrows fired from the dispenser to act accordingly.[202]

Mentioned in 2017

  • Ability to edit the skybox and biome/foliage/light colors in resource packs[203]
  • A set of prismarine blocks with a color scheme matching that of the elder guardian, similarly to how regular prismarine imitates normal guardians.[204]

Mentioned in 2018

  • Nether pearls[205]
  • Data-driven world generation using .json files, allowing for custom structures. Partially added in snapshot 20w28a with the addition of experimental support for custom biomes.[206]
  • A portal that would teleport the player to a different place in the Overworld.[207]
  • A special block for crafting fireworks.[208]

Mentioned in 2019

Mentioned in 2020

  • On Minecraft Feedback Mojang announced that they would implement the idea for making hopper and chest minecarts able to ride boats.[citation needed] The idea was so that it would be easier to transport items across water. Partially implemented: the boat with chest was added in Java Edition 22w12a, which allowed chests to be combined with boats for easy item transport through water.

Joke features

Snapshot 12marc40awesome, a joke snapshot by Marc Watson.
"Ultra Hardcore" mode.
Skis texture.

Mojang Studios employees have frequently joked about adding various features to the game.

  • Koalas in tanks riding on planes with laser rifles was jokingly added to the "maybe later" list by Searge.[236]
  • Hot dogs.[237][238]

  • Pine cones.[246]
  • Nathan Adams joked about adding dwarves when asked about it.[247]

  • SethBling mentioned a downside of command blocks on one of his livestreams, and Nathan Adams joked about removing command blocks to accommodate him.[249]
  • Nathan Adams joked that Minecraft pizza would be a good idea to add, and as a joke KrisJelbring stated that pizza is confirmed to be added.[250]
  • After the announcement of pillagers (over a year before the actual announcement of Village & Pillage), Nathan Adams and Jeb joked about several more villager portmanteaus:[251]
    • Drillager: he comes and pokes holes in things.
    • Fillager: he fixes the previous guys stuff.
    • Thrillager: really likes heights and scary things.

He said it could have lasers, fly with jet engines, make lots of noise, have a holographic HUD that tells the player where to dig for diamonds, gives the player +400% health, and powered by rabbits' feet to keep it balanced.[256]
  • During the development of 1.19, kingbdogz joked about that wardens would ask the player really, really nicely for it to get down and then they would offer some tea and invite it over for some cake. [257]
