New post: New improved 1.7
Orginal post: 7/30/13
**Updated 8/7/2013**
So I did a little poking around and came up with they finally updated the wiki. (if you didn't know they never update the wiki at mojang)
The things in BOLD are "planned changes".
The other things in Italic are not 100% but planned in the future
Planned changes.
- **Jeb shows off NEW biomes (https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/364788427570429953 & http://instagram.com/p/crbx7MpMHr/ )**
- **DinnerBone added Alpha verisons of the game to the launcher (https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/364699262233223169 )**

- 1.7 may contain new biomes, the main planned thing is work on the ocean.
- Possibly a new type of tree (cherry tree). *has a pink sappling* (Maybe how it would look http://i.imgur.com/q7qe9J3.jpg)
- Planned season for 1.7 where the color of leaves will change every so many days.
- A community feature (not sure what they're planning with this).
- Chest mimics (Chests that change into "monsters").
- The "blackspots in terrain" fixed (https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/362559336033165312)
- The buggy torches in strongholds and abandon mines are fixed (https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/362873008840376321)
- You can now keybind more things. (Such as sprint and screenshot etc.)
- Made it so you can backdate the launcher to beta verisons. (<3 Mojang)
- Spruce trees being added to "extreme hills biomes".
Future planned items, blocks, mobs etc.
- Rendering engine rewrite (helps a lot for older machines and make fps increase)
- A new "indestructable enchantment" (Makes armour if book is found unbreakable)
- A cauldren enchant rumored by Jeb
- Expanding on enchantment books (adding new unenchantable books to loot chests)
- A friendslist system (so you know where your friends are playing and if there online)
- More villager updates
- Hopefully a red dragon (but there not sure how to bring it to minecraft)
- More animals (to make the game feel more alive)
- New and more complex fishing
- Ha modding API (not even gonna start...)
Plan is to update this, as I find out more info to add it. To keep everyone on there toes :) -Fish
I almost forgot to add that :O thanks man..
removed herobrine?
I think we all know that one :P
Oh good question here. When this this "Ocean Update" coming out?
The rumor is late September, but hopefully before Minecon.
Hopefully
Oh nice I guess
Yeah but knowing how Mojang works they'll push it back and start changing the update completly. So I'll keep updating this as I see more info.
- Hopefully a red dragon (but there not sure how to bring it to minecraft)
Where are you getting that info? As far as I know, that's something that was said aaages ago and never happened.
I got it from the update wiki in planned things.
Link is a picture of the red dragon feature.

Knowing how a witch is just a retextured villager, I bet the red dragon is just a smaller red version of the ender dragon.
That would make sence, but I do belive I read Jeb putting something on Twitter about it being smaller so good point.
Buckets are supposed to be fillable from cauldrons now.
Do you have a link to this, I haven't read anything about that. From what I know cauldrons are 1 bucket to fill why would you take out a source you put in?
Added some bug fixes and Jeb's tweets to back them :)
I really hope the cherry tree will be added. It would make my world do much more fab :3
I can tell you now, the red dragon thing has been speculated about since 1.0.0 with no real information about it added. Fairly safe to say it probably won't show up in the new update.
You never know, though.
@JFO Yeah it's great having new tress we haven't had some new tress in forever.
@Sonardo They keep talking about here and there on Twitter and AMA's on Reddit. So will just have to wait and see :D
:DDD
Disco mountains?
I think it was a reference to Disco the map maker or something I have no clue about lol.
Odd, I just realised that in the picture of the new biome the desert next to it still had water pools.
Small update on extreme hills
New Biomes and readded alpha versions :)
Could somebody post the pictures of the biome overview on here? I don't have instagram.
He didn't say he was showing off new biomes, just the generation.
Ive seen some things noted here that are confirmed, but alot is stuff unconfirmed, where are you getting so many rumors, that I don't even think are real.
I link where I get the majoirty of my info, but as for most other things I get them straight from the official "upcoming features" wiki.

Fish, some people were talking about this on SMP the other day. Rumor is that Mojang is planning on adding a mimic (an agressive chest) to the game.
