Very rarely on this site do I publish anything about myself - I don't work on Minecraft after all. But last week I bought the Samsung Gear Live, a smartwatch that came out earlier this year. The watch runs Android Wear - basically a modified version of Android that can connect to any Android phone. When connected, the watch shows alerts from your phone, and you can even install watch-specific apps.
But since it's still (modified) Android, and it's possible to manually install normal Android apps with a little bit of effort, I had to do the inevitable. I installed the latest version of Minecraft Pocket Edition to see if it works - and to my surprise it did!

Does it work? Yes. Is it playable? Not really. Even though it is fully playable as seen in the video above, it's incredibly difficult to play. The screen is only 1.6" in size, which means that unless you're an ant you're going to have a hard time playing it. I'll probably write a tutorial either on my personal blog or here detailing how to install the game, just in case you have some time to burn. Enjoy the video!
