Everyone’s favorite 8-bit world building game just got better thanks to an update. Minecraft Pocket Edition received its first Survival update, allowing users to choose between Survival and Creative mode when creating a map. Other great additions include:

• New blocks; most notably doors, fences and fence gates
• Added flying to Creative mode (double tap jump)
• Added mobs; sheep and zombies being the first
• Day and night in Survival mode, with monsters coming at night…
• Gather resources from nature!
• Tools for different purposes (digging, attacking.. shearing)

The update is for both Android and iOS but it’s only available for Android at the moment. Mojang says as soon as the update is approved by Apple, it will be available. Minecraft Pocket Edition may not be the full desktop version you’ve come to enjoy, but it just got one step closer thanks to this update.
