0.4.0 rev 2 (iOS only)	Updated to fit the iPhone 5 Bugs fixed: Explosions destroy the ground now Blocks added (Creative): ​TNT (iOS) Trapdoors (iOS) Stone Bricks (iOS)	September 14, 2012
0.4.0	Blocks added: ​Chests (double chests are not available) Beds TNT Non-dark tree trunks return Items added: Flint and Steel Mobs added: ​Creeper Food added: Apples Bread Mushroom Stew Raw Beef Chicken Raw Porkchop New recipes for crafting: ​Wool Green Wool Stone Bricks Peacful mode added to Survival (no monsters) Farming mechanics added: Wheat Seeds Hoe When patch of grass is destroyed with the hoe, wheat seeds will drop Items added (Creative): ​Mossy Stone Redstone Ore Wool Trapdoor Tweaks: Zombies drop feathers Given monster type limited  Day is longer When using a item, the Player's speed decreases Animal spawning Snowballs can be throwed Bug fixes: Monsters cannot spawn indoors/in a structure Added a fall damage for clients Players could hit each other from far away Incorrect bow rendering in 3rd person view fixed When arrows shot, missing particles fixed When stairs are destroyed, they become what their resource was (Stone Stairs reverts into Stone, etc.) Charging the bow interacts with other blocks, and even destroys them Game could crash when Player dies with bow charged In Creative mode, players could die if they connected Leaves had Crafting Table texture (dark leaves) Bow didn't take damage to mob When a door is destroyed, a "half" door will show Found bugs: Seeds fall through the grass block they are collected from Trapdoors cannot be crafted in survival Placing a block over planted seeds destroys the seeds Mobs still move when game is paused Food doesn't regenerate as much health as it should (bread labeled "heals 2 and a half hearts" heals only one, apples and raw meat heal one and soup and cooked meat heal only two). Creepers spawn indoors. The description for Stone Bricks in the crafting menu says "tile.stonebricksmooth: couldn't find desc" When sleeping and your finger is moving above the torch, the flame particle will move awkwardly. Creeper spawn ratio is high. Bows have glitched textures sometimes for humans and skeletons. Food animation for third person doesn't work Explosions are silent (All you hear for creepers is "sssssss" and the creeper disappears) Explosions usually does not destroy ground, only snow. If one places a door on a torch, wheat, or other transparent blocks, the door is immediately destroyed but sometimes drops two doors upon destruction. It is possible to get infinite doors this way. One can place a torch on the side of a fence, however, due to a lack of a surface to connect to, the torch appears to be placed on air or on the block next to the block the fence is on. A block update does not fix this, and the torch remains until either it or the fence is destroyed. Xperia Play only: ​Crafting Table wrong size iOS only: ​Missing death sound for a spider	September 6, 2012
0.3.3	Additions: Mobs Skeletons Spiders Items ​Bow and Arrow Bone Meal Tweaks Item decay time is extended to 5 minutes Hotbar has 6 slots Brightness improved When you fall of a high cliff, bones will be heard Bug fixes: Torch lighting not as effective. Bows don't lose durability. Sometimes when holding a bow, it shows the bow and the arrow. When aiming using a bow in third person mode, the bow is above the hand. Some sounds are missing: Spider's death sound, etc. While drawing back an arrow if the user aims at a torch, sapling, flower, sugar cane, or mushroom it is broken. Dandelion Yellow and Bone Meal sometimes appear as green dye in hand and also in third person mode. Hostile Mobs don't have the correct or mixed up health (for example, Zombies now take up to 2 hits with a Diamond Sword.) Sometimes when aiming with a bow, the game crashes and some of your stuff in furnace will be deleted. The animation for drawing back the bow has gaps in between the pixels. Fire has been removed. Fixed a bug where fire would spread throughout an entire world after a single flammable block had been set aflame by Lava Corrected crafting recipes for Furnace, Block of Iron Lapiz Lazuli Block, Block of Gold and Block of Diamond. Furnace crashing bug has been fixed. Sapling/leaves fixes. You now need a crafting table to make doors. Torches can now be placed on fences. Dandelion Yellow dye no longer appears as an egg in MATTIS or the hotbar A bug where cactus and door placed next to each other would remove the bottom door block (and top one if a 2 level cactus). Removed particles from spawning when you hit the edges of the world. Stairs can now block light. Some sounds that are missing can now be heard: cow hurt sound, the sound when you break glass/ice. A bug fixed where fence gate would not appear in the user’s hand but in the world. When a user stood on a slab and created another one, the player simply fell through. Swords and other tools now take damage from hitting mobs. Golden tools are no longer tougher than wooden tools. The rear end texture where upside down on some animals. The D-pad on iPad no longer/rarely intersects with the item slots. Users can no longer place sugar cane in the water. Dark green leaves have correct textures when cut by shear. Blocks placed on snow aren’t duplicated in multiplayer.	August 9, 2012
0.3.2	Additions: Furnaces Every item can be smelted now Saplings Glass Panes Slabs Gold Ingots Gold Ore Gold tools Iron Ingots Iron tools Block of Iron Diamonds Diamond Ore Diamond tools Block of Diamond Bug fixes: Less flickering/Z targeting (in some devices) If you have 1 sword, or an item or block, the "1" will never show up again Mobs have correct health. Fixed rendering of fence gate and half block in hand. Bugs found: Saplings aren't available in Creative. Saplings aren't visible in the hotbar. Dandelion Yellow is shown as an egg (and vice versa) in MATTIS and the hotbar Swords don't loss durability when hitting mobs. Crafting an iron block only needs 6 iron ingots, but an iron block yields 9 iron ingots Crafting a Wooden Door only requires 4 Wooden Planks. Crafting Stairs only require 3 of the required material, but generates only one Wooden Stair (i.e. 3 Wooden Planks for 1 Staircase). Furnaces and Ladders require 5 Cobblestone and 5 Sticks (respectively). Short clicking a furnace crashes the client in (MP)Creative.	July 16, 2012
0.3.0 (Android)	Still called 0.30 in change log Fixed icons bug More inventory space A smaller GUI	April 24, 2012
0.3.0	Additions: MATTIS (Minecraft Advanced Touch Technology Interface System) crafting system added  Mobs ​Cows Chickens Blocks: ​Crafting Table Iron Ore Bookshelves (only Survival) Slabs: ​Brick Slabs Cobblestone Slabs Wooden Slabs Stairs: ​Brick Stairs Items ​Snow Sticks Dandelion Yellow Bowls Sugar Books Paper Coal Tools ​Wooden Axe Wooden Shovel Wooden Pickaxe Wooden Sword Tweaks: All items need to be gathered (except Shears, Bricks and Glass) Cameras can be held by Inventory Editor. Bugs: When bookshelves are destroyed they drop 3 bookshelves instead of 3 books. The items have wrong images. Game force closes upon opening on some devices. All items are craftable, with or without a crafting table. (Tested on Xperia Play only) Game Restarts the Device upon opening on Some devices. (Tested Xperia play) When trying to craft brick slabs or brick stairs, the game thinks you have one brick, not infinite. There are two torch recipes for crafting, however one requires charcoal and is unusable. With wooden slabs, the dropped icon and the icon in your hand is a stone slab. If you have 1 sand, or a different block or item, a "1" will be next to it. Despite having no furnace, iron ore can still be mined and dropped. it appears invisible in your inventory but can be placed in your world. Leaf blocks have the texture of crafting table sides when held, do not stack, and have a durability bar. In Survival Mode, doors cannot be collected when broken. Sugar cane drops its item icon in Creative mode, and you can "pick it up". If you drop an axe and two different blocks, the axe symbol shows the infinity symbol instead of a number one after picked up. (other items have been tested and yes it is the same as the axe, and the item turns back to a number one once used again) You cannot obtain slabs in Survival Mode. Swords do not lose durability when used on a mob, only when used to break blocks. When the limit of blocks is reached, you can still craft it, but it won't give you anything. When crafting a [wooden door it says it requires four wooden planks and can be crafted without a crafting table, but on Minecraft for PC, it uses six wooden planks using crafting table. Lava bug, it starts to spread fire all over your world without stopping. Also with lava bug, it allows water to be set on fire.(major bug) On rare occasions, charcoal will drop from instead of the usual coal. This is the only way to use a seemingly unusable torch recipe. Cameras are very glitchy.	April 24, 2012
0.2.1 alpha2 (Android only)	Major bug fix where tablets and smartphones which the game cannot open Acer Icona Tab A500 fixed	March 17, 2012
0.2.1 (Last lite release)	The lite version leads up to this update. Additions: New controller option - split-touch controls This can be used for larger screens Mobs: ​Pigs Blocks: ​Bookshelves (Creative only) Sugar Cane (unable to collect) Tweaks: Flying is changed - Slide the center button up to rise/Slide the center button down to descend Bigger screens have a bigger hotbar Bugs fixed:  Blocks now have the 'cracking' animation when you destroy them The circle shown when breaking blocks is sharper Bugs found: Enabling Split Touch mode once makes MCPE crash (without error message) on starting (old or new) world. Even uninstall/install cycle won't help. (Acer Iconia) When flying above the height limit in third-person, your avatar disappears. When underwater, you can't see the breaking animation In creative, if you're playing in multiplayer and they go into lava or underwater and drown, they die. In creative mode, flying above the height limit lets you walk on the edge of the world, on top of the block invisible bedrock found in the files of the game. Sometimes in multiplayer, if you a put a block, it puts another block on top of the block you just put. When someone dies in multiplayer, rarely they will be invisible and zombies will not attack the invisible player. It'll be dead by something invisible. If you host a game, you will suffer from fall damage but others who join will not take damage when fell. Even if you join a game, you would not suffer but the host of the game will die from fall damage. The outer circle while you're breaking a block (using normal controls, not split touch) usually disappears. You can put cacti on any block as long as it has snow on top of it.	March 14, 2012
