Gameplay[edit]
- 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.
- 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.
- The following materials are in infinite stacks, which is indicated by ∞ (infinity) symbols:
- When an item that has not been gathered is selected, the player's fist is shown.
- Added a hitpoints 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 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.
