The mobilisation of Minecraft has begun! Mojang has released its Android app, Minecraft Pocket Edition, into the Android Market today. The title is initially a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play exclusive but will be available to other Android devices soon. While the principle of the game is the same as the desktop version, Minecraft Pocket Edition is designed to be a little more laid back.
Minecraft Pocket Edition features randomised worlds and a selection of 36 types of block to build your creations with. There’s also multiplayer via Wi-Fi so you can collaborate with friends on Minecraft worlds then save the result to your own phone. Unlike Minecraft on the desktop there’s no nightly raids by monsters to interrupt your building.
