Minecraft pe 0.9.0
 

If you havent checked out this update already do its put pocket edition ahead of xbox and playstation editions.may be super glitchy and laggy right now but another update will come put soon with some bug fixes and a few more items check it out

PLAY IT OMQ
it is awesome!!!!! I get the feeling I'll be playing a lot more now

Never got into Minecraft period. Sounds exciting for people who did though!

I highly doubt it's anywhere near the console editions...

Did you check it out?

All the things I see new is monster spawn :0

Endermen,silver fish,villagers,mooshroom,unlimited worlds,flat worlds,dogs,some completely new bricks such as diophodite,cave systems,towns,abbandned railways etc

The consoles have had those for ages, how does that put it ahead of them?

Unlimited worlds and all the new decorative blocks then if we add in all the third party apps like skins

Unlimited world generation.
Something consoles may never get.

I don't see why they wouldn't if they figured out how to do it on phones. Honestly I'm not even sure if it's a very necessary thing... unlimited worlds can take up a huge amount of space depending on how much of the world you generate. I'm not saying that they need to be as small as PE were(too small), but I never felt confined in my world on my 360... it was decently large.

Oh and all the biomes plus with unlimited worlds your resources are endless
I would seriously check it out a lot of my friends who are abslte fan boys of minecraft xbox even agreed its better now than xbox at the moment it is buggy but if you look at what will work in future its hard ti argue against it

But in the end...
PC beats all.

Biomes in Minecraft hardly add anything unless you get some of the cooler mods that add in actual useful/nice looking biomes. And like I said, unlimited worlds really isn't that necessary for the applications of mobile/consoles. They're useful for servers, and the mobile/consoles can't really "host" servers like PC players are used to. PE had pathetically small worlds which imo were pretty useless... so I guess that's better than what they had. I just don't think unlimited worlds are as amazing as people think they are when compared to how the mobile/console versions play. I had MORE than enough in my worlds on the 360 version.

Either way I won't be checking it out because none of that matters when the game controls like ass... which isn't too much fault to the devs. It's just not the sort of thing that can be intuitively mapped to a touchscreen.

Well if your not prepared to try something then how are you supposed to argue against it your just coming across as opinionated tbh :(

What am I trying? I have played PE... the controls are horrible, I absolutely dead trying to build in it. The new additions have not changed that, have they? Also, I can make pretty good arguments considering these are things that are in the PC edition anyways.

They arent the new bricks they added are a completely new concept you can readjust the controls in settings and like any game controls take some getting used to

It's really buggy for the older users. When you tap the create world button it freezes then suddenly loads the world and it's incredibly laggy. Then within a few minutes of walking around and doing the regular stuff it crashes. This is on my iPod 4th gen

Welcome to the world of infinite worlds. Whereas before it was simply generating a predefined world, it was easy to just generate the world and have a long loading time. Now since worlds are infinite, that means generating the world as you're playing. This is a very CPU intensive thing to do, and older devices may not be able to handle it.

iOS needs skins, damnit!

You can get third party apps
