We have been talking about getting our own official Minecraft: Pocket Edition servers online for our readers to play on. Well now that Mojang has added support for people to easily log into external servers within Minecraft: Pocket Edition, it is about that time for our first server to go live.

While this might be the biggest addition to the upcoming 0.7.0 update for Minecraft: Pocket Edition, it is actually a pretty nice looking change. Mojang’s Johan Bernhardsson tweeted a picture of the new homescreen that will be coming with this new update and it is certainly a lot better looking than the current one is.
While Minecraft: Pocket Edition 0.6.0 has arrived in full force on both Android and iOS, MinePocket-MP has also been updated and a new development build is now available for download as well. Keeping in tune with the Minecraft: Pocket Edition version, the new version of MinePocket-MP is also labeled as 0.6.0 Alpha.
Minecraft: Pocket Edition players know that Mojang is working on true online multiplayer that could arrive as soon as the 0.6.0 update if all goes well. However, up until now, and until that update comes out, we’ve been trying various ways to create a true Minecraft: Pocket Edition server whether it be hosted off your device or on a PC. We’ve seen a few projects aiming towards this goal but now it seems one has actually accomplished this and it’s called PocketMine-MP.
When Minecraft: Pocket Edition came out on Android it was a great addition to Android gaming in general. While the game has come a long way since it’s initial release to the now current 0.4.0 version, there are still plenty features that are missing from the game. Things like caves, villages, enchanting and so on are key features still needing to make their way to the game. Still, with all of this missing, Minecraft: Pocket Edition is a great game. However, there is one feature that, for the most part, everyone who has Minecraft: Pocket Edition really wants and that is online multiplayer.
