Mojang explains Minecraft Pocket Edition beta trials, only supports Android devices

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTZuAEi1FbE

A few weeks ago Mojang announced they would begin a beta program for Minecraft Pocket Edition, to allow beta testers to play and report bugs similar to Minecraft PC. Today Joahan and Tommaso, two PE developers, live-streamed their plan for Pocket Edition betas. You can watch the video above, but here's the most important points to note:

  • The Minecraft Pocket Edition betas are only available to Android devices, and only those that have bought the game through Google Play (sorry Kindle users!).

  • You can signs up for the betas by joining a Minecraft PE Google Plus community that the developers will create tomorrow.

  • You must have bought the game through Google Play Store. Amazon App Store, Apple App Store, and pirated purchases don't count.

  • Once/if you are accepted, an update will appear for Pocket Edition in the Google Play Store. Once updated you will be running the beta!


For those of you who do not own an Android device, and for those who don't want to/can't run the game, we will be creating video reviews of every new beta as they are released. I'm getting my Nexus 5 set up for video recording, so hopefully we will release a video soon after the beta is released! We will bring you more information as it becomes available, but that's all for now.

  2. Nope, it just allows your Google account to download the betas (that's why it uses Google Plus).
