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

Goodbye poster

These mobs appear on the goodbye poster^[1] from the Minecraft Earth Twitter account, but were not present in the game.

Reverse chicken jockey

The reverse chicken jockey is a scrapped jockey or mob. It was part of Mattel Minecraft Earth series 19. It also appeared in an image in the files, alongside normal chicken jockeys.

Sticky note sketches

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].

Llama variant 1
Llama variant 2
Llama variant 3
Llama variant 4
Llama variant 5
Wooly Wolf

Spawn Eggs

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

Minecraft Earth: Apple WWDC Gameplay Reveal

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

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

Villager

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 X (formerly Twitter) video^[7] and post^[8] respectively.

Baby mobs

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

Other smaller items seen in the events are:

Texture changes

Mob of Me

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

Discord Q&A

A question and answer was hosted by the developers on the Minecraft Earth Discord server, allowing users to ask questions. In turn, the developers answered the majority of these questions which revealed many features that were in progress or future ideas, particularly from Minecraft.

Villagers

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

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

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

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

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

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]
