Minecraft: Maret 2017

Minecraft: Pocket Edition is the mobile version of Minecraft developed by Mojang AB. It was initially launched exclusively for the Xperia PLAY on Google Play^[18] for US $6.99 on August 16, 2011. It was later released for other Androiddevices on the 7th of October 2011.^[19] Minecraft Pocket Edition for iOS devices was released on Thursday, the 17th of November 2011^[20] on the iOS App Store. On September 13, 2012, the Pocket Edition was made available for purchase on the Amazon Appstore. A demo/lite version of the game, which was essentially version 0.2.1 without world save functionality, was available until October 21, 2013. On December 10, 2014, the Windows Phone version was released on the Windows Store^[21], for which the Pocket Edition 1.0 release and newer are only available for Windows 10 Phone and newer. Since then, four adaptations of Pocket Edition have been released for Windows 10 (Windows 10 Edition), the Samsung Gear VR (Gear VR Edition), the Apple TV (Apple TV Edition), and the Amazon Fire TV (Fire TV Edition).

POCKET EDITION IS 5 YEARS OLD! HAVE A TRAILER FOR 1.0!

What a long way we’ve come! At its inception, Pocket Edition was little more than an experiment by mega-brained Mojang coder, Aron Nieminen. It was pretty bare bones - just the most minimal Minecrafty features in mobile form, hammered together in a mere three months.

As Aron says: “It wasn’t even supposed to have multiplayer at first, and the first internal version only had an ASCII renderer!”

It’s since grown into one of our most popular versions of Minecraft, with over 40 million players, who are now able to enjoy the rich features of redstone, join each other on Realms, and across platforms, race each other on pigback, wail on witches and - with the upcoming Ender Update - battle the ultimate boss: The Ender Dragon.

GOT TIME TO SPARE? TRY OUR HOUR OF CODE 2016 EDITION!

Posted on Nov 15, 2016 by Owen Hill

What could you learn in one hour? A little maths? A smattering of English? Some “science”?

Nothing of significance, basically. That’s why you should be delighted that we’ve created a second Hour of Code tutorial, designed to teach you the basics of coding in a mere 60 minutes. We introduce concepts of game design and computer science in easy-to-understand steps before giving insight into mob behavior and more. Of course, to be a master coder like Jens takes more than an hour’s training, but this is a great place to start.

Last year’s hour of code has been played over 31 million times, making it the most popular on the Code.org platform. Despite that, we’ve rebuilt the thing so it’s even better than last year’s.

Both the 2015 and 2016 tutorials are now available at code.org/minecraft so head over and give them a try. Oh, and if you’re still not convinced, watch the chirpy video below.

Thanks for reading, everyone! Enjoy your hour of code!

POCKET AND WIN 10 GETTING 1.0 - THE ENDER UPDATE SOON!

Posted on Nov 11, 2016 by Owen Jones

There comes a time in every Minecraft edition’s life when they evolve from being a mere percentage into a fully fledged number. For Pocket Edition and Windows 10 that time is almost here. 1.0 - The Ender Update is coming!

We didn’t pick that number for the lols. Our next update is packed with features but most significant is probably The End and its iconic inhabitant - The Ender Dragon. Though you can carry on playing after defeating the misunderstood beast, for many, taking it down is the ultimate goal in Minecraft. Something to aim for and achieve after hours of play. A tangible end-game for Survival players.
