Pocket Edition is 5 Years Old!
We've come quite a distance! When it was first launched, Pocket Edition was little more than an experiment by super-fast Mojang coder Aron Nieminen. It was nothing more than bare bones with the most basic Minecrafty features in mobile form and crafted within just three months.
Aron states, "It wasn’t supposed to have multiplayer The first internal edition only had an ASCII rendering program!"
It has since evolved into one of our most popular versions of Minecraft with more than 40 million players, who can enjoy the rich features of redstone, join with each other on Realms, and across platforms, race each other on pigbacks, sing about witches, and - thanks to the upcoming Ender Update fight the ultimate boss the Ender Dragon.
The Ender Update will bring the game version up to the huge 1.0 in honor of introducing Minecraft's full 'gameplay loop", as the developers prefer to call it. Even while we've delivered The End, we're a far from being done with Pocket Edition. You'll be awed by the variety of exciting and fascinating things we have in store for you!
Watch the trailer above to prepare for the Ender Dragon showdown and learn more about these additional 1.0 features.
World Seed Library! We're making it even easier for you to find fascinating and amazing worlds with this carefully curated catalog of top seeds. - Polar bears! The snowy biomes will be prowled by these majestic creatures - but be cautious about cubs. The parents are extremely cautious.
- Music! The original soundtrack is finally available for mobile versions of the game. It has already graced Windows 10 We do not want our music to jam up your internet connections and so it's available for download separately from the main game.
- Oculus Touch support! Windows 10 players now have the option of using specially designed VR waggle sticks to control the game! It's sci-fi!
