Oh Minecraft, how crazy popular you are. Microsoft is ending the year with a bunch of updates to Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
Here’s a sampling of all the spiffy things you can do in Pocket Edition now:
- Upload your own custom skin, or try one from the various packs that we’ve made!
- Ride in a boat with your doggy companion!
- Throw things at mobs from inside your boat! (So antagonistic!)
- Catch fish from inside your boat! Or from not inside your boat!
- Make your old worlds infinite in size!
- Decorate with all sorts of stone brick variants
- Collect rotten flesh dropped from slain zombies and feed it to your dog (Gross!)
- Drink milk to cure nastiness caused by enemy mobs
- Play cross-platform together with friends using the Windows 10 Edition Beta
- Gather your bravery and explore the Nether
- Tame ocelots and start your very own in-game cat ranch
- Build golems (Threatening!)
- Enhance your stuff with anvils and enchantments
- Whip up some fancy potions in Brewing Stations
- Pick up experience and manage your hunger like the true wild survivor you are
- Bunnies <3 (Careful, they will eat your crops!)
- Enhance your worlds with basic redstone-powered components
- New things to attack you! Spider Jockeys, Cave Spiders, Chicken Jockeys, and Baby Zombies
- More passive mobs – Squids in the water and bats in the cave! (Sounds like a great metal song.)
- Explore and discover the treasures and danger of Desert Temples!
