v0.7.3 alpha was a minor update to Minecraft: Pocket Edition that was released on August 15, 2013.[1] This version changes the daylight cycle and fixed some of the bugs and crashes in v0.7.2.

iOS 4.3 is no longer supported in this version; v0.7.3 requires iOS 5.0 or later. Users running iOS 4.3 will only be able to play older versions of Pocket Edition.[2]

Additions[]

Gameplay[]

Blocks and items[]

  • Double chests
    • When chests are put together, items previously in the left chest appear at the bottom half. Items from the right chest will also appear at the top. This may cause a loss of items.
    • Chests now have an open/close animation.
    • The player can open chests in creative, but not look inside; they will immediately close.
  • Quartz slabs

Changes[]

General[]

  • Added more friction when flying in Creative Mode (iOS).
  • Stopped building the game with typeinfo enabled (iOS).
  • Wooden slab material changed to wood instead of stone. Wooden Slabs stored from before 0.7.3 are tagged as Fake Wood Slab and drop regular wooden slabs when mined.
  • When creating a new world, the default name shows "My World".

Mobs[]

  • Mobs now light on fire under sunlight.
