So far there has been no more information if Mojang will be adding anymore features into 1.7.
If any information gets released I will update it ASAP. I have the old 1.7 list backed up if this is due to change. Also I will be happy to do the Beta 1.8 Discoveries and Discussion if you guys would like me to.

This sounds good!
I can't wait for the adventure update, but it seems that it won't be released for a while.

EDIT: Looks like he is changing diodes.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

[Omgkenishere]

Wonder what the Adventure thingy is about. I just wish Notch would add some bugs back to the game :[ Those bugs were awesomeee....

[Wombat_H]

I hope he adds new mobs or improves the nether.
Whats the point of going in SMP when theres only 6 blocks?

[nameless023]

I just wish he brought back the old Fire Spread speed... New one sucks, it can barely burn down a single tree (burning down entire Forest Biomes is just impossible now).

Oh well... Waiting +1

[Sparky1779]

Your avatar is so awesome

[PhysicsProp]

Well, Notch has been playing a lot of Terraria recently... We may see some influence from that.

[Sparky1779]

Updated the release dates.

[Sparky1779]

Added another thing onto Possible Category.

[Lighthouse]

1.6.6 is being released today.

[ihazsammich]

I think he's going to add some incentive to move around. Maybe new mobs that only spawn in certain biomes like the wolves?

Oh please, let held torches give off light
That would be so awesome

[eddiefivespeed]

Features from Terraria?

love this idea. It would be great to have bosses in minecraft. guarding dungeons and chests. I hope dragons and giant eye and snake monsters.

[Xenumason]

Swedish summer vacation is usually 5 weeks. I don't think we´ll see 1.7 before late August-mid September. Will this be the last big update before the game release (not counting the release version.)?

[Sparky1779]

Updated again!
