Now I know what you're thinking. How can this guy be thinking about what will come in 2.0, when 1.8 isn't even out? Let me put a rest to that skepticism by saying that this article is pure speculation, the only reason I thought about writing it is because I was thinking about how much the gaming industry has changed this millenium. In particular indie games like minecraft. 


 


Nowadays, in minecraft 1.7.9 , we have horses whom of which we can encase in diamond armour and gallop through biomes in mere seconds on. Although once upon a time in another 1.7 minecraft was still in beta. In a time even prior to that, zombies dropped ... feathers.


As of 1.8 , which is due to be released soon, we will ourselves using slime blocks as trampolines, zipping through the water at an unnatrual speed whilst dodging lasers fire from the eyes of  the hostile sea-life! Exciting, isn't it?


 


Now with all the change occuring in a relatively short period of time, it gets me wondering what changes might come about in the summer or two to 2.0? Perhaps we shall be able to ride an uber-rare Pegasus through the sky, periodically batting birds from the sky with our enchanted emerald sword! Or perhaps something less adventurous, and more realistic, maybe Mojang shall overhaul the nature system. Trees shall drop seeds and those seeds shall grow on their on, forests shall slowly expand creeping into plains biomes and required the now advanced villager AI to cut them down. I sometimes devote hours to just ... wondering about the endless tweaks and addittions that could be brought up the game. Some perhaps good, but some inevitably bad.

2.0 will never come, after 1.9 comes 1.10. (not one point one zero, one point ten) The point is not a decimal point, it does not mean 1.5 (1,5 in other languages) as a mathematical number that is the same than 3/2. the point is a point. We also don't have 1.7.9.1, we have 1.7.10.

Mojang clearly focuses on redoing the engine of Minecraft and on making interaction with the game easier for map creators, modders and more.
In 1.9 or 2.0 Mojang will most likely release the Plugin API, which will then replace Bukkit and also bring Map Development for Minecraft on an entirely new level.

Such tiny things like Slime Blocks and Endermites are classifieable as minor changes.
