v0.2.0 alpha was a major update to Minecraft: Pocket Edition. It added Survival mode as well as other changes and bug fixes. This version is the start of the Android and iOS devices having the same features cross-platform.

Additions[]

Blocks[]

Items[]

  • Tools
    • Stone shovel
    • Stone pickaxe
    • Stone axe
    • Stone sword
    • Shears
      • Shearing a sheep requires tapping and holding on the sheep, similar to breaking a block. Simply tapping on it hurts the sheep and eventually kills it (8 hits).
    • Compasses
      • Currently have no functionality.

Mobs[]

  • Sheep
    • Baby sheep also exist, but do not spawn naturally.
  • Pigs[verify]
    • Do not spawn naturally.
  • Zombies
    • Only spawn at night.

Gameplay[]

Creative
  • All worlds created before alpha 0.2.0 will be in Creative.
  • Flight
    • Tap the jump button twice to initiate flight. From there, double-tap and hold up or down to ascend or descend, respectively.
Survival
  • Daylight cycle
  • Crafting is not yet available, making tools and anything that cannot be naturally acquired not obtainable in survival.
  • Although it is survival, the user can still see all items in their inventory as though in creative mode but cannot use them unless having gathered the respective material.
    • This effectively works as the inventory but lacks the standard 2×2 crafting grid from the original inventory.
  • Most materials are in infinite stacks due to them not being obtainable otherwise, indicated by ∞ (infinity) symbols.
  • The following materials are not in infinite stacks and have to be gathered:
  • When an item that has not been gathered is selected, the player's fist is shown.
  • Added a hit points bar (health will slowly regenerate, similar to peaceful difficulty in the Java Edition).
  • Added an oxygen bar when underwater, adding the ability to drown and die.
  • Added death with options to respawn or go to the main menu.
  • When breaking materials, any material can be gathered regardless of what tool is used.
    • For example, stone can be broken without tools and still yield cobblestone, though using a pickaxe is still faster.
