Minecraft: Pocket Edition to get 'significantly bigger worlds'

4.7
The mobile version of Minecraft - AKA: Minecraft: Pocket Edition - is being coded to allow for big changes - literally. Developer Mojang announced on its site that the team is "restructuring a lot of code to allow significantly bigger worlds in future updates," as well as tweaking creature AI and the inventory system.

There's no release date for the Pocket Edition updates, but Mojang wrote that "everything is going to plan." We presume this sentence was written while stroking a fluffy white cat and/or onboard the Death Star.

Mojang is also "pausing" access to the Pocket Realms beta, which allows for persistent worlds stored on private servers. "The Realms team is currently focused on the upcoming release of PC Realms," Mojang wrote. "Once that's done, we'll be in a better place to work on Pocket Realms and make it as good as it possibly can be, which will be later this year." The pause will go into effect on March 1.

Aftercast Good, the worlds are sometimes way too ridiculously small.


I agree, i have played on a siblings iPod and they are honestly too small for my taste.


Honestly the pocket edition is pretty good, but this was definitely needed, I like the console edition and the PC version they are perfectly designed and they make you be creative.

I haven't been playing the pocket edition that much lately I have been busy with the Xbox and PC version, I might get back into the Pocket Edition.

I haven't touched the Pocket Edition in a long time. I need to hop back on this and see what is all new. Minecraft on the go is always a good thing. Especially when you are in a LONG LINE or waiting for something.

Dorkus I've never played the pocket edition of minecraft, i might buy it later on it seems fun to play.

It's really fun, I quite enjoy it but I wish it had more options but I sure they are working on it. The world size has always been beneficial to me as if I get lost I can always find my way back as they are so small. The dogs will be a awesome new addition to the game.
