What could be next?

Since this update brings out a lot of things that Xbox and PC Minecraft have, there is not much left to release. Or is there? Some Minecraft PE players don't know much about what you can get on PC and Xbox Minecraft so they don't know what to expect. Here is a list of new things that could be added in a further update:
  • Tracks and minecarts (often used for rollercoasters).
  • Mobs: mooshroom, ocelot (cat), squid, villager, enderman, wolf (dog), zombiepigman, blaze, cave spider, ghast, magma cube, silverfish, slime, spider jockey, snow golem, iron golem and ender dragon
  • New furniture
  • Minecarts and Tracks
