Are you ready to get your Pocket Edition on? I hope so, because there is now a massive update, ready for you to test! It's so massive, your phone will actually weigh more! Keep in mind, this particular update is much like PC snapshots (an early look at features), and currently only testable on Android. Want to test it out for yourself? First, join this Google community, then sign up for the updates.
For those of you who aren’t on Android, this update will be released for all versions of Pocket Edition in the near future with significantly less bugs. Be patient, pocket crafters. It’s going to be great!
