Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.8.0 Beta 4 released, closer to final release

Screenshot_2013-11-22-21-23-58

As you may have picked up from our review of Beta 2, the Pocket Edition betas are not for the faint of heart. They are far buggier than the PC Snapshot builds, less polished, and they tend to crash. Thankfully since we wrote that review, two more beta builds have been released to beta testers everywhere. I've played around with Beta 3 and 4 for a few hours, and everything is noticeably better. There are far less bugs, and I haven't crashed once. Even though all the betas since Beta 1 have only had bug fixes, they are still fantastic updates from Beta 1.

If you have been eager to try the beats but scared of the bugs, I recommend you take the jump. But if you are still on the edge or can't use the betas, don't worry because it looks like Pocket Edition 0.8.0 is nearing completion.

  5. Corbin DavenportNovember 27, 2013 at 10:04 AM

    It should be released when the final release for Android comes out, but sometimes there's a couple hours/one day difference because one of the App Stores approve it first.

    You lied. You said nothing was added accept bug fixes. But in build 3, shears were added in creative, all the dyes (including ink sacs and cocoa beans) were added in creative, bedrock was added in creative, and zombies now drop potatoes and carrots rarely.

    You do realize it takes a while to add those features, and right now they are bug testing it. PC Edition has been around since 2009, there's a lot of catching up to do. I don't think Mojang will care if 24 people uninstall it either.

    Minecraft PE 0.8.0 isn't out yet. The betas are out for Android, but not the final release. There will be no betas for PE for iOS. PE 0.8.0 is scheduled to come out before Christmas. No date has been given.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Corbin DavenportNovember 30, 2013 at 7:06 AM

    Android has the BETAS, not the update. iPhone and Android will get the update at the same time. Android gets betas because there is no way to release a public beta on iOS.

    The android store just takes the apps without checking them for bugs but apples App Store is different they check the apps for bugs not little nut major bugs so android would normally come out a week before iOS update is out but it looks like to me we are going to get them most likely at the same time because of the beta testers and bug fixes
