'''''Minecraft: Pocket Edition''''' (informally known as '''MCPE''' or '''PE''') was the former title of the [[Bedrock Edition]] of ''[[Minecraft]]'' developed by [[Mojang Studios]] for mobile devices before [[Bedrock Edition 1.2.0|1.2.0]], although subsequent builds are still commonly (if erroneously) referred to as ''Pocket Edition''. ''Pocket Edition'' introduced the Bedrock Engine, which was later ported to non-mobile platforms as four other editions of ''Minecraft'': ''[[Windows 10 Edition]]'', ''[[Gear VR Edition]]'', ''[[Apple TV Edition]]'', and ''[[Fire TV Edition]]''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150704220210/https://mojang.com/2015/07/announcing-minecraft-windows-10-edition-beta/ Announcing: ''Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta''] - Mojang.com; July 4, 2015</ref><ref>https://oculus.com/blog/minecraft-now-available-on-oculus-for-gear-vr</ref><ref>https://minecraft.net/article/apple-tv-edition-released</ref><ref>https://amzn.com/dp/B01NCJDPER</ref> When these editions received the [[Better Together Update]], the "Edition" subtitle was removed, and the official name for all of these editions became ''Minecraft''. To assist with clarification, the ''Minecraft'' community referred to these versions collectively as {{el|be}} due to Bedrock being the name of the {{w|C++}} codebase from which they all derive.

'''''Minecraft: Pocket Edition''''' is the mobile version of ''[[Minecraft]]'' developed by [[Mojang AB]]. It was initially launched exclusively for the [[wikipedia:Sony Ericsson Xperia Play|Xperia PLAY]] on Google Play<ref>https://play.google.com/details?id=com.mojang.minecraftpe</ref> for US$6.99 on August 16, 2011. It was later released for other [[wikipedia:Android (operating system)|Android]] devices on the 7th of October 2011.<ref>{{tweet|kappische|122246496941899776}}</ref> ''Minecraft Pocket Edition'' for [[wikipedia:iOS|iOS]] devices was released on Thursday, the 17th of November 2011<ref>http://appleinformer.org/2011/11/minecraft-pocket-edition-for-ios-now-available-for-download/</ref> on the iOS App Store. On September 13, 2012, the Pocket Edition was made available for purchase on the Amazon Appstore. On April 2, 2014, the Pocket Edition was released for the Amazon Fire TV, with support for the Fire TV's controller.<ref>http://mashable.com/2014/04/02/amazon-fire-tv-2/</ref>. A demo/lite version of the game, which was essentially version 0.2.1 without world save functionality, was available until October 21, 2013.

''[https://minecraft-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft_PE_Lite Minecraft Pocket Edition Lite]'', which was essentially version 0.2.1 without world save functionality and had limited inventory items, was available until October 21, 2013.

The objective of the game remains the same as its {{els|je|lce}} counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment. Like its counterparts, ''Pocket Edition'' also has [[survival]] elements present in other versions of the game such as [[brewing]], [[hunger]], and dimensions like the [[Nether]] and the [[End]]. The [[multiplayer]] mode is cross-platform compatible between all touch-screen devices capable of running Pocket Edition.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120313124931/http://www.mojang.com/2011/11/minecraft-pocket-edition-on-ios/ ''Minecraft - Pocket Edition'' on iOS!] - Mojang.com; November 18, 2011</ref>

The [[HUD]] and other elements are adapted to mobile standards of gameplay. Interactions are made via touchscreen (both the iOS and Android versions of ''Pocket Edition'' have the same gameplay<ref>{{tweet|kappische|142677729135968256}}</ref>). To comply with the disadvantages of touchscreen gameplay, several features were revised. For instance, the [[crafting]] system uses the [[MATTIS]] system and items are disposed of by long-tapping their icon on the toolbar. For better visibility on mobile screens, blocks being aimed at are highlighted rather than outlined. Unlike mobile's crafting menu, Windows 10 edition's crafting menu is similar to Java and Console crafting menu. The game was released with graphics akin to that of [[Java Edition Alpha]] (bright green grass blocks, old cobblestone texture, etc.), but as of [[Pocket Edition v0.8.0 alpha|v0.8.0]], graphics have become equivalent to the ''Java Edition'' but also including light tinting and shading affected by the [[sun]]'s position. Differences from the ''Java Edition'' include:

The objective of the game remains the same as its more developed PC and [[Console Edition]] counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment. However, ''Pocket Edition'' lacks certain [[Survival]] elements present in other versions of the game, such as [[Brewing]] and [[hunger]]. The [[multiplayer]] mode is cross-platform compatible between Android and iOS.<ref>http://mojang.com/2011/11/18/minecraft-pocket-edition-on-ios/</ref>

For better visibility on mobile screens, blocks being aimed at are highlighted rather than outlined. The game was released with graphics akin to that of Minecraft [[Alpha]], but as of the 0.8.0 update, graphics have become equivalent, and arguably better, than the PC version with light tinting and shading affected by the [[Sun]]'s position. Differences from the PC edition include:
  
  +
** Through LAN, allowing for 5 players to be on a single world.
−  
  +
** Through [[Pocket Realms]]. Pocket Realms was closed in [[Pocket Edition v0.7.6 alpha|v0.7.6]] and now newly available again in Alpha [[Pocket Edition v0.15.0 alpha|v0.15.0]].
−
* Each [[mob]] has some sort of difference from their PC counterparts. See the ''Mobs'' section below
  
  +
** Through a user-created external server.
−
* Multiplayer allows for 3 ways of player connection:
  
  +
** Through Xbox Live.
−
** Through a LAN, allowing for 10 players to be on a single server
  
−
** Through Minecraft Realms (as of version 0.7.1)
  
−
** Through a user-created external servers (as of version 0.7.4)

=== Diversity ===
  
−
Pocket Edition developers have tried to make the game diverse from PC, with the following features;
  
−  
−
* Aside from [[The Overworld|Infinite]] and [[Superflat|Flat]] world types, there is an "[[Old]]" world type, featuring a finite area of 256x256 blocks with a barrier of [[Invisible Bedrock]]. This is meant for devices that don't handle infinite worlds well.
  
−
** The Invisible bedrock barrier can be walked on, due to the world height limit, which also doesn't allow for blocks to be placed on it.
  
−
* The following revisions were made to the terrain generation:
  
−
** [[Biome]]s that exceed the 128-block height limit are shrunk to fit
  
−
** The [[Far Lands]] and [[Far Lands#Pocket Edition "Stripe Lands" and Far Lands|Stripe Lands]] are present.
  
−
** [[Tree#Fallen trees|Fallen trees]] are present
  
−
** [[Ravine]]s, [[Witch Hut]]s, [[Temple]]s and [[Ocean Monument]]s are not present.
  
−
** [[Huge Mushroom]]s can be up to 13 blocks tall
  
−
** [[Village]]s have
  
−
*** [[Wooden Plank]] bridges replacing [[gravel]] roads over bodies of water
  
−
*** Houses have [[Carpet|brown carpet]] tables, instead of [[Pressure plate]] tables
  
−
*** Chests in blacksmith may contain ink sacs and/or Emeralds; which is the only way to get ink sacs and is an easier alternative to emerald mining.
  
−
*** [[Cobblestone]] does not generate beneath gravel roads.
  
−
* The graphics are more vibrant and smoother than in PC, such as an improved burning animation for [[entities]].
  
−
* Shadows on entities move depending on the position of the [[sun]].
  
−
* The [[Nether]] is not present, but it is replaced by the [[Nether Reactor]].
  
−
* [[Beetroot]]s, [[beetroot seeds]] and [[beetroot soup]] are exclusive to Pocket Edition. [[Beetroot]] can be crafted into rose red and heals 1 health point, however making it into soup recovers much more. It has a 1 out of 14 chance to pop out of grass blocks while harvesting.
  
−
* The [[Stonecutter]] is present, which can craft all the types of stone, bricks, and quartz, freeing room for crafting table slots.
  
−
* [[Glowing obsidian]] is present, which can only be generated in the [[Nether Reactor]] and cannot be obtained in the inventory. It is red and emits dim light.
  
−
* [[Zombie Pigmen]] are naturally hostile.
  
−
* [[Sheep]]s' color around its face and patches when sheared correspond its wool color.
  
−
* [[Sugar Cane]] can be grown with [[Bone Meal]].
  
−
* [[Tree]]s grow faster using bone meal.
  
−
* [[Pumpkin]]s and [[Melon]]s spawn most frequently
  
−
* [[Monster Spawner|Monster Spawners]] are available in Creative mode.
  
−
* It takes very slightly longer to mine than in PC.

After the initial releases for iOS and Android, updates were released in parallel, with the same features being added for both platforms. During the Alpha stage, various aspects of gameplay were introduced into Pocket Edition including: [[crafting]], [[smelting]], more [[blocks]], [[items]], [[mobs]] and more game modes to bring it closer to the Java Edition. As the Minecraft Pocket Edition development team works closely, often blocks released on the Java Edition are released around the same time for the Pocket Edition. Certain features were also tested on Pocket Edition before their Java Edition releases, such as [[beetroot]]s and their related items, and also [[block model]]s.

This enabled the official updates to be considerably more stable.

As of December 2013, Pocket Edition had sold 16.5 million copies, while in the same time, PC had sold 13 million. These calculations came out after the 0.8.0 update.<ref>http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/dec/17/mojang-minecraft-pocket-edition-apple</ref>

The Android and iOS versions feature a D-pad at the bottom-left corner of the screen, which controls movement. The jump button is located in the center of the d-pad. When moving forward, two strafing buttons will appear. Note that when moving towards an adjacent block that is one level higher than [[the Player]], the player will automatically jump up the block. One can place blocks by tapping the screen in a desired location. Destroying blocks is similar to the PC version's way, but rather than clicking the mouse, the player taps and holds. The search button used to be able to change the camera to and from [[third person view]], but now this has to be done via the pause screen, and the menu and back buttons will open the pause screen. To open the inventory screen, tap the triple dotted button on the right of the hot bar. You can touch and hold an item in the [[hot bar]] to throw it, and if the hot bar contains a stack of items, it will throw the entire stack. You cannot divide it unless interfacing with a container (chest, furnace).

The iOS, Android and other versions feature a D-pad at the bottom-left corner of the screen, which controls movement. When moving forward, two strafing buttons appear. The jump button is located on the bottom-right corner, and the sneak is in the center of the D-pad. Sneaking can be achieved by double tapping this button. The location of the jump button and the sneak button can be swapped, in the controls section of the options menu. Note that when moving toward an adjacent block that is one level higher than the [[player]], the player automatically jumps up the block. This can also be disabled in the controls section of the options menu. One can place blocks by tapping the screen in a desired location. Destroying blocks is similar to the Java Edition's way, but rather than clicking the mouse, the player taps and holds. Split controls can also be used, which allows the player to place and break blocks similarly to Java Edition, where a crosshair appears and allows the player to place blocks using that. To change to the camera view, the player can go to Settings > Video. There should be a dropdown button displaying the player's current view, and tapping on it opens a dropdown menu allowing the player to choose different camera views. To open the inventory screen, tap the triple dotted button on the right of the hot bar. The player can touch and hold an item in the [[hot bar]] to throw it, and if the hot bar contains a stack of items, it throws the entire stack. The player cannot divide it unless interfacing with a container (chest, furnace). The player can however switch to the Java Edition menu system via settings.

  +
* ''[[Minecraft: Pi Edition]]'' is derived from an early Pocket Edition development version.
  +
*In the demo video, before the game was released, smooth lighting was available. It was taken out due to bugs being produced on a wide range of devices. As of 0.7.0, it is on by default, and since 0.8.0, it cannot be turned off.
  +
* The terrain.png file found in filesystem of the App is nearly identical to that in the Java Edition, containing textures for items unimplemented in the ''Pocket Edition'' (e.g., [[flower]]s). However, in 0.8.0, this file was replaced with terrain-atlas.tga, a neater version of the previous file
  +
*The barrier wall in old worlds is also cut by the height limit allowing players to go over it.
  +
*The average placing/destroying block range is 4-6 on the Java Edition and 6-9 on iOS/Android.
   
  +
==''China Edition'' ==
−
* Make sure your battery is charged, and/or plugged in (3D gaming drains the battery quickly).
  
  +
{{Main|China Edition}}
−
* Get used to the controls before playing on servers (it is easy to mine the block under a torch by mistake).
  
  +
Shortly before the release of 1.2, the game company {{w|NetEase}} licensed ''Minecraft'' in mainland China.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160520081616/https://mojang.com/2016/05/minecraft-is-coming-to-china/ Minecraft is coming to China] - Mojang.com; May 20, 2016</ref> The original version is no longer available in the Chinese app store. A separate edition based on ''Pocket Edition'' is instead available for free, with a marketplace where players can buy maps, skins, mods and resource packs with Emeralds (an in game currency that can be bought with real money or by logging in every day).
−
* Tap and hold an item in the hotbar to drop it.
  
−
* Peer-to-peer networking requires UDP port 19132
  
−
* If you're having trouble with block placement/mining accuracy - turn on split touch controls. This brings up the crosshair from the PC and Xbox versions to allow more precise placement.
  
−
* If you want to move your PE world to a computer, [http://mineways.com/minesways.html#mcpe see these instructions] (this link is outdated, could someone put up a new one?).
  
   
  +
Shortly after the release of ''Minecraft: China Edition'', an update was released on iOS devices for the original version titled [[Pocket Edition 1.1.7|1.1.7]]. This update disables the [[Marketplace|store]].

−
* Players can have [[skin]]s on the iOS version and Android by replacing char.png in the app file. However, the chosen skin will appear as another player's skin if playing over local Wi-Fi.<ref>http://i.imgur.com/cdqcX.png</ref>

* In the demo video, before the game was released, smooth lighting was available. It was taken out due to bugs being produced on a wide range of devices. As of 0.7.0, it is on by default, and since 0.8.0, it cannot be turned off.
  
−
* The terrain.png file in the [[wikipedia:APK (file format)|APK]] file found on Android devices is nearly identical to that in the PC version, containing textures for items unimplemented in the ''Pocket Edition'' (e.g., [[cauldron]]).
  
−
* The Indev wall in old worlds is also cut by the height limit allowing players to go over it.
  
−
* The average placing/destroying block range is 4-6 on the PC version but for the iOS/Android is 6-9.
  
−
* Due to the auto-jump feature, if one opens the inventory or pause menu at the same time as jumping or swimming, one can go on ''auto-pilot'' and the player would jump, walk and/or swim without any commands. ''Auto-pilot'' ends once the pause menu or inventory is closed.

Latest revision as of 12:55, 17 November 2023

For the version history, see Pocket Edition version history.
PS3 Cross
This page describes an edition of the game that has been officially discontinued. 
This edition is no longer updated or available for download and has been replaced with Bedrock Edition.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition (informally known as MCPE or PE) was the former title of the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft developed by Mojang Studios for mobile devices before 1.2.0, although subsequent builds are still commonly (if erroneously) referred to as Pocket Edition. Pocket Edition introduced the Bedrock Engine, which was later ported to non-mobile platforms as four other editions of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, Gear VR Edition, Apple TV Edition, and Fire TV Edition.[20][21][22][23] When these editions received the Better Together Update, the "Edition" subtitle was removed, and the official name for all of these editions became Minecraft. To assist with clarification, the Minecraft community referred to these versions collectively as Bedrock Edition due to Bedrock being the name of the C++ codebase from which they all derive.

Pocket Edition was initially launched exclusively for the Xperia Play on Google Play[10] for US$6.99 on August 16, 2011. It was later released for other Android devices on October 7, 2011,[24] and iOS on November 17, 2011.[25] On September 13, 2012, the Pocket Edition was made available for purchase on the Amazon Appstore. Minecraft Pocket Edition Lite, which was essentially version 0.2.1 without world save functionality and had limited inventory items, was available until October 21, 2013. The Windows Phone 8.1 version was released on the Microsoft Store on December 10, 2014.[26] The Windows Phone 8.1 version (which also ran on Windows 10 Mobile) was discontinued after the release of v0.16.2 on November 18, 2016, and was later replaced by a release for Windows 10 Mobile only (which was free to owners of the previous Windows Phone 8.1 version) on February 22, 2017 starting with 1.0.3.[27] After the release of 1.0.0, Pocket Edition for Fire OS was no longer available for Fire TV, but the new, more expensive Fire TV Edition was free to its previous owners.

Gameplay

The objective of the game remains the same as its Java and Legacy Console editions counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment. Like its counterparts, Pocket Edition also has survival elements present in other versions of the game such as brewing, hunger, and dimensions like the Nether and the End. The multiplayer mode is cross-platform compatible between all touch-screen devices capable of running Pocket Edition.[28]

The HUD and other elements are adapted to mobile standards of gameplay. Interactions are made via touchscreen (both the iOS and Android versions of Pocket Edition have the same gameplay[29]). To comply with the disadvantages of touchscreen gameplay, several features were revised. For instance, the crafting system uses the MATTIS system and items are disposed of by long-tapping their icon on the toolbar. For better visibility on mobile screens, blocks being aimed at are highlighted rather than outlined. Unlike mobile's crafting menu, Windows 10 edition's crafting menu is similar to Java and Console crafting menu. The game was released with graphics akin to that of Java Edition Alpha (bright green grass blocks, old cobblestone texture, etc.), but as of v0.8.0, graphics have become equivalent to the Java Edition but also including light tinting and shading affected by the sun's position. Differences from the Java Edition include:

  • Multiplayer allows for 4 ways of player connection:
    • Through LAN, allowing for 5 players to be on a single world.
    • Through Pocket Realms. Pocket Realms was closed in v0.7.6 and now newly available again in Alpha v0.15.0.
    • Through a user-created external server.
    • Through Xbox Live.

Development

Main article: Bedrock Edition version history § Pocket Edition

Release

On May 22, 2009, early in Minecraft's development, Notch indicated he had "vague plans about porting minecraft for Android in the future."[30]

A video of an early prototype was released on Twitter, showing the game on the Xperia Play. The alpha version was later released and became no longer exclusive to the Xperia Play on October 7, 2011. The non-exclusive version was going to be released on September 29 for Android[31] but there were several severe bugs that needed to be fixed; the release was delayed until October 7.

Alpha

After the initial releases for iOS and Android, updates were released in parallel, with the same features being added for both platforms. During the Alpha stage, various aspects of gameplay were introduced into Pocket Edition including: crafting, smelting, more blocks, items, mobs and more game modes to bring it closer to the Java Edition. As the Minecraft Pocket Edition development team works closely, often blocks released on the Java Edition are released around the same time for the Pocket Edition. Certain features were also tested on Pocket Edition before their Java Edition releases, such as beetroots and their related items, and also block models.

Full Release

On November 11, 2016, the 1.0.0 (Ender Update) was announced. It was released on December 19, 2016.

Builds

Starting on November 22, 2013,[32] Mojang began to publicly release testing versions of full updates to Android users who opt into the beta program, in order to get major feedback, especially for bug reporting. This enabled the official updates to be considerably more stable.

Versions from 0.8.0 to 0.12.1 required opting into a Google+ group to receive development builds. Players would then see development updates appear as normal updates in the Play Store. On July 17, 2015, the Google+ group was removed due to the amount of spam and advertisements that the group attracted.[33][34][35] On November 3, 2015, the PE Beta team published a dedicated blog[36] that was subsequently used for users to opt into the 0.13.0 beta program and to display changelogs for these development builds.

Success

As of December 2013, Pocket Edition had sold 16.5 million copies, while in the same time, Java Edition had sold 13 million. These calculations came out after the 0.8.0 update.[37]

On December 2, 2016, Marsh Davies announced that Pocket Edition had sold over 40 million copies[38] (at the time, Java Edition had sold over 24 million).

It is also usually in the top 10 and regularly #1 in the Apple App Store's and Google Play's Paid Apps Section in the Top Charts.[39][40]

Controls

Main article: Controls § Bedrock Edition

Mobile devices (iOS, Android & Others)

The iOS, Android and other versions feature a D-pad at the bottom-left corner of the screen, which controls movement. When moving forward, two strafing buttons appear. The jump button is located on the bottom-right corner, and the sneak is in the center of the D-pad. Sneaking can be achieved by double tapping this button. The location of the jump button and the sneak button can be swapped, in the controls section of the options menu. Note that when moving toward an adjacent block that is one level higher than the player, the player automatically jumps up the block. This can also be disabled in the controls section of the options menu. One can place blocks by tapping the screen in a desired location. Destroying blocks is similar to the Java Edition's way, but rather than clicking the mouse, the player taps and holds. Split controls can also be used, which allows the player to place and break blocks similarly to Java Edition, where a crosshair appears and allows the player to place blocks using that. To change to the camera view, the player can go to Settings > Video. There should be a dropdown button displaying the player's current view, and tapping on it opens a dropdown menu allowing the player to choose different camera views. To open the inventory screen, tap the triple dotted button on the right of the hot bar. The player can touch and hold an item in the hot bar to throw it, and if the hot bar contains a stack of items, it throws the entire stack. The player cannot divide it unless interfacing with a container (chest, furnace). The player can however switch to the Java Edition menu system via settings.

Xperia Play

Main article: Controls § Pocket Edition: Xperia Play

Controlled with slide out PlayStation keyboard.

  • PlayStationTriangle – Open inventory
  • PlayStationCircle – Scroll right in hotbar
  • PlayStationX – Jump (Also select button) (press twice to toggle flying mode in Creative Mode[note 1])
  • 18px – Opening craft screen.
  • D-Pad: Move
  • Left Touchpad: Sneak
  • Right Touchpad: Look/Turn
  • Select: Open crafting menu (Survival mode only)
  • L1: Break Blocks
  • R1: Place Blocks
  • Menu: Pause
  1. ↑ To fly: Quickly press jump twice in a row. To ascend, hold the up on the other side of the screen button and press up on the directional pad. To descend, hold jump and press down. (Creative only)

Tablet features

All devices have an option to enable Split Touch Controls, which may be more suitable for bigger screens. There is a crosshair and dragging a finger across the screen lets the player rotate the camera.

Other than the screen size difference allowing any number of slots in the hotbar, the tablet version of the game is the same as other versions, hence the ability to play multiplayer cross-platform with other devices.

Windows 10 Edition

Windows 10 Edition has 3 control options:

  • Keyboard: Similar controls to Java Edition.
  • Touch Screen: Used with Windows 10 PC's touch screen. The controls are exactly like the ones in Pocket Edition.
  • Controller: Used with compatible controllers, with a similar button layout to Console Edition's controls. These controls can be customized.

  • Pixel (all models)
  • Most Android mobile devices
  • iPhone 4S or later
  • iPhone SE (all models)

  • iPod touch (5th gen) or later

Some devices below these specifications have been known to work fine either with or without custom ROM images, kernels, and overclocking of the CPU. However, the CPU MSM7227 is not supported due to its lack of the floating-point unit.[42] The processor Tegra 2 is also not supported because the processor has no support for Neon.

Trivia

  • Minecraft: Pi Edition is derived from an early Pocket Edition development version.
  • In the demo video, before the game was released, smooth lighting was available. It was taken out due to bugs being produced on a wide range of devices. As of 0.7.0, it is on by default, and since 0.8.0, it cannot be turned off.
  • The terrain.png file found in filesystem of the App is nearly identical to that in the Java Edition, containing textures for items unimplemented in the Pocket Edition (e.g., flowers). However, in 0.8.0, this file was replaced with terrain-atlas.tga, a neater version of the previous file
  • The barrier wall in old worlds is also cut by the height limit allowing players to go over it.
  • The average placing/destroying block range is 4-6 on the Java Edition and 6-9 on iOS/Android.

China Edition

Main article: China Edition

Shortly before the release of 1.2, the game company NetEase licensed Minecraft in mainland China.[43] The original version is no longer available in the Chinese app store. A separate edition based on Pocket Edition is instead available for free, with a marketplace where players can buy maps, skins, mods and resource packs with Emeralds (an in game currency that can be bought with real money or by logging in every day).

Shortly after the release of Minecraft: China Edition, an update was released on iOS devices for the original version titled 1.1.7. This update disables the store.
