I got the Pocket Edition as well. One thing I don't like about it is that you can't play Multiplayer multiplayer, just local Bluetooth multiplayer.

i tried pocket edition, liked it. klay was the one who really got me into the game itself, since he and his buddy made an entire fort in it

[aniybo]

i have it too better to get it now i think there might be an alternative to the nether ( update 0.5.0 ) - ( might come out somewhere in November )
at least thats what the game developer said

There are tons of mods and cheats, installing them depends on your os. Ios is (mostly) incapable at the moment unless you jailbreak.
Check out the minecraft forums for all the specifics, tons of info there.

I got the Pocket Edition as well. One thing I don't like about it is that you can't play Multiplayer multiplayer, just local Bluetooth multiplayer.

"Realms" are out now, you can join friends and servers on mcpe.

Oh and qcraft has some new bricks that exhibit quantum behavior like entanglement and observer dependency.

Worth the necro? Idk

[SayCreed]

Oh lol I just saw date now
