Mojang announced plans this week to add survival mode to Minecraft - Pocket Edition.
They said they have not updated Minecraft - Pocket Edition much yet because they were focused on getting the pocket edition for iOS out in the Apple store after they released the Android version.
"The plan now is to start digging into making Minecraft - Pocket Edition with survival features!" said Daniel Kaplan, a developer working on the pocket edition.
Some of the new features Kaplan mentioned are as follows:
A new file system - to make sure we can support items and mobs in the world
- Item system - to be able to pick up items
- Crafting - This will probably need some iterations since the interface will be customized for the touch devices
- Inventory system
- Mobs - animals and enemies
- Optimizing rendering code - Mojang is experimenting with caves but need to make it work better before we are able to release it
- Clean up of code and overall optimization
Kaplan said they don't have any dates for when these updates will happen, but he urged players to make sure their phones are fully updated so they will be compatible.
Minecraft - Pocket Edition is only 16 cents on the Android market right now as a special promotion.
