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

Additions

Gameplay

• Sun, moon, stars, sunrise and sunset.
• Improved title screen
  • Splashes
  • Animated background
  • The menu panorama uses seed 2151901553968352745 in Java Edition Beta 1.7.3 at coordinates (61, 75, -68).
• Pocket realms improvements:
  • Realms can be reset

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.
