So it is getting close to about the time when we should see another major release hit Minecraft: Pocket Edition, especially since MineCon 2015 is on the horizon. There have been plenty of details released as to what we can all expect to see when this next major release, version 0.11, arrives for Android.
Once again it is time for another installment into our Fun Fridays series and this week we have some pretty cool video game related things to check out like always. This week we have everything from a life-size Pac-Man game to a tiny Minecraft: Pocket Edition themed stylus and some cool things in between. So sit back, drink some morning coffee, and check out these cool video gaming related things.
Mojang will be hosting a public Q&A session on their TwitchTV channel later this week regarding Minecraft: Pocket Edition which means that this will be an excellent opportunity to ask the questions you may have regarding the game, or what is coming in the future, directly to the developers themselves.
It appears that one of the next big features to be heading to Minecraft: Pocket Edition will be potions or at least potion effects. The interesting part about all of this is the fact that even though potion effects were teased in a picture, it was also stated that as of right now no potions are actually in the pipeline because that requires the Nether.
The other day the newest Minecraft: Pocket Edition version update was pushed out to users who had been eagerly awaiting all the new visual tweaks and bug fixes that was going to be coming with the release of 0.10.0. Well as with any new version update and lots of tweaks that happen with it, other nasty little bugs have shown up. It’s okay though, Mojang is on it and version 0.10.1 is slated for release at some point today.
Last week we reported on a new version update that would be arriving for Minecraft: Pocket Edition in the near future. Well that future has become the present as Mojang has pushed out the version 0.10.0 update onto Android this morning. In a nutshell this update improves the graphics, increases the game’s performance, and killed off a whole lot of bugs which makes for a much more polished and enjoyable experience when playing.
Mojang has submitted the newest Minecraft: Pocket Edition update to Apple for approval which generally means that the Android version should also be getting this update pretty soon. While this is a major version number change, the update being version 0.10.0, about 65% of this update happens to be tweaks and improvements to the game, while the remaining 35% consists of new features.
Emulating another operating system on a platform not native to said operating system isn’t a new thing. There are plenty of emulators out there that can emulate just about anything you want, even on a platform like Samsung Gear Live. So while putting Window95 onto your Gear Live might seem a bit odd of an idea at first, until the cool factor sets in. Of course playing DOOM on it definitely adds to that.
PocketMine-MP is pretty much the go to software if you want to run your own Minecraft: Pocket Edition server but don’t want the limited population that the Mojang official servers offer for a fee. With this software, you are technically only limited to the hardware your server is running.
With rumors of a purchase between the two companies floating around last week, today the announcement has been made official that Microsoft will be purchasing Mojang for a mere $2.5 Billion. There are a few reasons for the sale but one of the main ones if that Notch has wanted to work on smaller projects and running a company this size, which he never though he would be doing, isn’t allowing him to work on these smaller projects.
