Hill declared that Mojang will soon release information regarding Cross Buy and PS3 to PS4 upgrade options. However, Hill did mention that Mojang plans to add features for world-transfer. Hill wrote that the goal was to allow users to transfer data from PS3 and PS4 to their devices. "We are still working out how to do this with the Vita version."

Mojang also demonstrated the PC version's future world-building options. The options will be available in an update.
