This is my Collaborative Guide to The Redstone Update. Please note that I wrote this during Minecon meaning some of there's things are already implemented, such as Fireworks. This is a list of everything on Mojang's future list from the panel presentation and the discussion and Q&A session afterwards:
This is my Collaborative Guide to The Redstone Update. Please note that I wrote this during Minecon meaning some of there's things are already implemented, such as Fireworks. This is a list of everything on Mojang's future list from the panel presentation and the discussion and Q&A session afterwards:
- Comparator Block and Signal Strength - One input, one output; similar to Repeater
Click to reveal
- Weighted Pressure Plates - Output signal strength will depend on pressure applied
Weighted Pressure Plates
- Automated Item movement - Transport massive amounts of items including automated movement of items; from chest into cart, from ground into chest
The Hopper
- Minecart coupling - Transport massive amounts of items including automated movement of items; from chest into cart, from ground into chest
- Daylight Detector - Solar Panels
Daylight Detectors
- Book Portable Paper Enchantments - enchanting a book piece of paper then using Anvil to transfer enchantment to an item
Book Enchants
- Waypoints - Maybe
- New 'Nether Ore' Block(s) - Possible addition of 1 or 2 new Ore blocks, probably a Nether Ore (to craft Capacitor Blocks or anything else new).
Nether Quartz
- Nether Brick Slabs - Yes
Nether Brick Slabs
- Red Dragon update - Big plans but the physics are complicated
- Advanced Combat system - Makes Fighting more interesting. May include Spear (longer reach) and Crossbow (rapid fire) - but not planned.
- Friends system - It is in planning stage, hopefully released next year. It will be Mojang-server-side and linked to Mojang accounts.
- Depth Detector - like a compass for underground
- Biome updates - Biome updates are planned; some updates will focus on specific Biomes and some will add new Biomes.
- Fireworks - Fireworks before/for New Year's Eve
Fireworks

- Mod API will be released with the 1.5 Update, which has a tenative release date of January, 2013.
- Mods can have config files that, when initialized, will be able to dynamically print text in a variety of ways.
- The API will eliminate the need to write to the engine directly, allowing modifications that affect the game (as any mod will), without altering the game code itself. Among other things, this will greatly simplify mod installation.
- You will be able to modify Vanilla block behavior
- There will there be official community resources (tutorials, forums, etc) for modders.
- Players will be able to download mods from the game client itself.
- The API will be able to add new mobs to the game through mods and it will be possible to modify animated blocks (water, lava) as well as custom animated blocks.
- The API will be integrated into the vanilla game, hopefully bypassing the need for exernal APIs.
- Not at this time, Will client-only mods be supported, but as the biggest client-only modifications are already covered (texture packs, splash screen text etc), it didn't seem necessary.
- Mods don't need to be re-written from the ground but will need to be changed to accommodate the API. Even if a mod requires an overhaul for the API, it would only be a one-time occurrence.
- Physics be modded.
- The API will not be on the XBOX or Pocket Edition unless the developers of each game, wish to.
- Something even better than Optifine will be added to vanilla. Overall, the game engine is being simplified, taking most of the load off of the client, and having the server doing the heavy work, greatly improving SMP.
- Smoothstone stairs are not planned.
- No new mobs are planned.
