Jun 21, 2016 - Microsoft recently updated the Minecraft Pocket Edition, adding online. As a subscription service through Apple's App Store or the Google Play store. The PC and Mac versions of Minecraft will not work with a Pocket Edition.
Fans of popular indie sandbox game for Mac and PC have been asking for a native iOS porting for months now. While it looks like they won't be getting an official iPhone or iPad version anytime soon, clones approved by Apple are here to help. After two weeks ago, there's a new app in the App Store called 'Eden - World Builder' which looks and behaves a lot like the original Minecraft. The app is available now, and it's priced at $4.99. Although the app's name doesn't carry the Minecraft brand, the description on iTunes says: Explore a vast pristine world of infinite possibility.
Build your own personal Eden. Eden brings the creative block building genre, pioneered by games like Minecraft, Infiniminer, and Blockland, to the touch screen. From what I can see in the app, though, looks like you can break any block with 1 hit, and I haven't seen monsters around. Perhaps I just need to play more. Anyway, grab the app before Apple pulls it, it's available.
