Minecraft: Pocket Edition is a very basic form of the original game, meaning there crafting, mobs and other features are not included, but this will soon change.
An update for the Android/iOS version of Minecraft is currently in devlopment and will give players the ability to craft items and some other fun stuff! Here is the full list of features being worked on:
- A new file system – to make sure we can support items and mobs in the world
- Item system – to be able to pick up items
- Crafting – we know you want this :) This will probably need some iterations since the interface will be customized for the touch devices
- Inventory system
- Mobs – animals and enemies!
- Optimizing rendering code – we are experimenting with caves but need to make it work better before we are able to release it
- Clean up of code and overall optimization
There is no official date for when the update is coming out, but it will be here eventually.
