Future Update Rumors

Future Update Rumors


In this section, I'll be putting in some stuff that is rumored to come in
future Minecraft updates. It will be organized according to what it will be
(ex: mobs, items, etc.) and it's probability according to Notch.

So without further ado:

*MOBS*

Wolves - Notch mentioned that he'd definitely put in wolves in the future.

UPDATE: Notch and his crew are now working on wolves for their next update
to Minecraft (Beta v1.4). They will be trainable when you find them in the
wild, and they can attack mobs for you it seems. They need to be fed it
looks like, but all for the bonding experience right? They even shake off
water when they jump out of a lake. It's quite adorable actually. The url for
the youtube video for wolves is:

The video is done by one of Notch's programmers. It's a legit development
video, don't worry. It's not some random Minecraft modder.

Dragons - this is the top 'flying things' rumor. Notch said that he wants to
put in some sort of flying transport in the game. Everyone seems to
think that it's dragons.
Water Monsters - the front runner is sharks. Notch mentioned water mobs that
attack will be put in, but hasn't alluded to what exactly.
Fish - Notch has confirmed these as a mob in the future. Not just a byproduct
of fishing, but an actual mob.
Pigmen - the living, overworld counterparts of Zombie Pigmen. Also confirmed
by Notch.
Whales - the first unsucessful attempt at these was in Beta v. 1.1_02. Notch
has confirmed he will add these.
Bats - Notch briefly mentioned these at some point, but nothing has come of it
since.
Giants - Yep. Giant Hulk-ish zombie mobs. Notch briefly tried these in the
first ever Survival Minecraft. Hasn't confirmed them yet, but they're
still in the code for the game.
Boss Mobs - possibly Boss creatures for players to battle.
Mimics - Notch said that Mimics may be a possibility in the future.
NPC Villages - Notch briefly mentioned that a goblin NPC village may happen.

*GAME DEVELOPMENT*

Achievements - Notch is trying to implement an achievements system for the
game
Stat Tracker - Notch has alluded that he would attempt to put in a stat
tracker system that players can access
Change Spawn Point - Notch has said the next update (Minecraft v1.4) would
give players the ability to change their spawn points

This should be located in 'off topic' maybe?
