14 Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected.

Introduction

Minecraft has won the hearts of many with its sandbox gameplay and it’s fascinating to know that some Minecraft ideas were rejected by Mojang. Join us in this article to learn the list of Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected and the reasons for doing so.

Minecraft being an open-world game gives its players numerous options to play the game however they want incorporating things they like or the strategies they choose. The endless possibilities in the world of Minecraft that Mojang has created have always been interesting. Exploring the world in Minecraft that its developers have created using their creativity the most is the thing that players have liked all these years. After all, it’s all part of the creative process that Minecraft is today.

The popularity of this vast open-world game has also a huge community. The Minecraft community is also so into the process of creativity, adding much more to the game that they have also made many suggestions that can be added to the game, making the game cooler and more convenient. However, all these suggestions did not make it to the game. Let’s dive in more to find out the Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected.

14 Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected

Miners Helmet

The caves in Minecraft have become much bigger and darker. To explore these caves, a light source would be very helpful for the players built seems that the Minecraft developers are not yet impressed by their needs. Even though there are torches available, what would happen if you run out of the torchlight? Having a miner’s helmet to have around for light would have made our lives much simpler, isn’t it? The reason why Miners Helmet was rejected is that Mojang thought that it would be “too modern” to incorporate it into the game even though there are many modern things already present in the game.

Bedrock Biome

“A new biome under the bedroom”, doesn’t it sound cool? Breaking bedrock in Minecraft is almost not possible. But what if it was possible? Interestingly, Minecraft came up with an idea to fall into another dimension when you crack open the bedrock but later this was also rejected and the Bedrock remained the same.

Stone chests

Next in the list of Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected we have the stone chests for which the players were seriously disappointed. The Stone Chests were supposed to be in the Ancient City. After all, who doesn’t love a loot box with pretty interesting things in it? Minecraft wanted to make it a rare item for which they included much space for it but later this Minecraft suggestion was also rejected. However, the reason for it is not known.

Horse Saddle

Finding a saddle in Minecraft has been always a tricky one. As it is a manmade tool, you may be also wondering to craft it, however, this is also not possible. Minecraft developers did add a DIY horse saddle that could be crafted but this was also removed after some weeks in favor of using the normal saddles for the animals and this also became one of the Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected.  

Redstone Villages

Redstone Villages was again one of the Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected. Many villagers in Minecraft create different types of items varying in their roles. But there aren’t any who would provide Redstone components. This idea was one of the coolest as players would not have to go mining and could simply get the components by trading them for other valuables.

Ruby

Trading is an important activity in Minecraft. Initially, Ruby Ore was actually planned for the game for trading and crafting items but then Emerald Ore took its place. This was rejected before its implementation as one of Mojang’s developers was colorblind and hence was not able to differentiate between Rubies and Redstone.

Blue Stone

The Blue Stone was accidentally revealed by Minecraft in the Pillage update but then later they confronted it as a mistake that will not be coming in the game, tricking us all. They also confirmed that the game will continue with the Redstones only.

Furniture

Furniture was also among the Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected. Minecraft rejected it as they thought it “inhibits creativity”. The developers that adding furniture would stop the players from being creative. That one was an odd reason indeed.

Mushroom Villages

The Mushroom Biomes and islands could have mushroom villages but it’s not that likely. These have appeared before but have been removed. Mushroom villages would have been one of the cool Minecraft suggestions. Imagine houses being made on top of mushrooms or with mushrooms, creative, isn’t it?

Potion of Silence

The Potion of Silence would make your footsteps inaudible giving an advantage of being unnoticed by the warden mob and skulk sensors. This Minecraft idea was also rejected as it failed to impress Mojang.

Illager’s golem

In Minecraft, Villagers have Golems for their protection who are very powerful. But does Illager’s also have Golems? Of course not. The Illagers have Ravegers. Although this was also an idea it ended up being one of the Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected. As the Illagers also had one of the most powerful mobs, this idea was rejected.  

Sky dimension

Minecraft has endless biomes and landscapes for its players to explore. With the 1.8 Beta Update, the Sky Dimension came to notice. This was supposed to be a ‘dream world’ for the players, accessible only after the player goes to bed. But this idea came to an end as it was technically difficult.

Undo Button

An Undo Button was also one of the Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected. You may face problems while building that could be difficult to correct and an Undo Button would surely help to fix that. Even though there is time travel in the game concerning the change of dimensions this idea was particularly changed as it involves time travel. Strange, isn’t it?

Mummy

Last, in the list of Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected, we have Mummy. The Desert Pyramids in real life and Minecraft do not have one thing in common. You know what that is. Mummy, definitely. As the Desert Pyramid only has TNTs as a danger and even noob players can pass through it now, Mojang initially thought of adding Mummy in various sizes inside the Desert Pyramid along with mazes and traps. But this was rejected as the developers thought it would be too difficult for the players.

Conclusion

So, these were some of the Minecraft ideas that Mojang rejected according to their reasons even though some of them don’t make sense to the players. Despite this, there are also some things Mojang will add to Minecraft or is likely to put into the game which sooner or later will be known to us by their future updates which is most likely the Trails & Tales.
