Minecraft for iOS Update... Crafting!

Minecraft Pocket Edition was a very simplistic version of Minecraft when it was first released. There were few blocks, and crafting wasn't an option (which makes the name a bit of a misnomer). But, yesterday, the game finally got an update that brought crafting into the mix. It's still not perfect, for example, moving around is still awkward, and you can't craft everything you can in the full version of the game, but it's a big step in the right direction.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to play a bit more. The mobs are coming and I have a home to build. But before I go, I'll leave you with a link. You can download Minecraft for iOS here. There's also a lite version of the game you can find here. Go try it out.

Minecraft for iOS Out Tomorrow

Minecraft: Pocket Edition will be released sometime tomorrow, according to this placeholder on the App Store. It seems the pocket edition won't have crafting yet, instead it will just allow the user to move blocks around. Still, if you've ever played creative mode, you'd know that moving blocks around is actually quite fun.

It appears as though the app will be universal, for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, and will cost $9.99. Minecraft is extremely popular, but $10 is a bit steep. With any luck, the developers either add more features, or drop the price in the future. Minecraft should be available for download by tomorrow here. Although, despite the release date on the App Store page, Cult of Mac is claiming it could be out later today. Either way, it will be available before the end of the week!
