So, this is where I'm at:
(1) My XBox One - v 1.2 - Installed Better Together, since I bought my copy digitally and installed the Beta via XBox Insider Hub.
(2) My Son's Xbox One - Better Together NOT installed, since he has a physical disk copy.
(3) Windows 10 - v1.1.5 Installed and this is still the latest version per Windows Store - Better Together NOT installed, unable to install at present
(4) Android Phone - v 1.2 - Better Together installed, and it looks like it. Have yet to play on it.
(5) Son's IPad - v1.1.7 - Installed and latest version at Apple App Store - Better Together NOT installed, unable to install at present
So...Better Together is NOT there yet for Windows 10 and iOS, is there for Android and sort of is there for XBox One depending on whether or not you installed the Beta it looks like. Don't feel all that Together, never mind Better.

I'll have to try it. I wonder who found it? A fan of old movies?

BTW, what the heck is an "obsidian killer?"

Not that far from spawn. I'm pretty sure this one has not been posted yet, apologies if it has.
Just started playing this one today, and was doing a little branch mining before setting up a farm, etc. Stumbled across this on my way down to bedrock.

I'm trying to separately keep six or seven of each animal type in three small paddocks. The pigs and cows are each in a corral with a walkable area of 7 blocks x 11 blocks, the sheep in a 7 block by 9 block one. The sheep one is smaller, since I've put up double fencing to prevent wolves from getting at them.
Last night I noticed I was down to four pigs, when I could have sworn I had at least six. Bred up two more, went on my way. Checked in after doing some mining this AM and noticed I was down to five pigs. Similar situation with the sheep and cows.
Can confirm there were no creeper explosions, also that I wasn't some place wolves might spawn inside a corral, since I've made my base in a swamp biome. Can't confirm w/100% accuracy that no wolves somehow got at the sheep, but I'm pretty sure none did. I've yet to see any wolves anywhere near my base.
Not the end of the world, but I'm curious if I've somehow misunderstood the 20 block to despawn rule as it relates to peaceful mobs.
FWIW, I'm playing in Survival, on Hard mode.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Interesting! And thanks.
I've yet to see an enchanted iron sword dropped by a Zombie. Will have to keep my eye out for that one. Can personally confirm the rest. (Regular Iron Sword, Iron Helmet, Iron Ingot, and Iron Shovel.)
And while I've seen bows from skeletons, the only enchanted ones I've come across have all been Power I. Anything better? Won't hold my breath for a Punch II/Power IV/Infinity bow, but one can hope. (If that combination is even possible?)
And I'm too much of a wimp to mess w/Zombie Pigmen...at least until I work through trying to kill the Enderdragon on Hard Mode w/out dying. Or more likely fail at it. Whichever comes first.

From what I saw, there's no cactus, no birch trees. three spruce and four or five oak trees. Plus a small stand of sugar cane. Curiously, I also saw no mobs of any kind, either peaceful or hostile. I guess this has something to do with most of the available surface being in Mushroom biomes, or maybe I just didn't see them? Not sure.
Being just about a complete n00b, I actually randomly typed this into the world generator to use as a Survival world. I spent about fifteen to twenty minutes bobbing aimlessly around in water until I either drowned or starved to death, I forget which. Welcome to Minecraft, I guess.
Never found trees until I went back in on Creative, sorry I don't know how to do spoiler tags, but if this is one someone wants to try, here's the coordinates to look at, or ignore....
=====
All the oak trees are down by X: 390, Y 64, Z: 387, and the three spruce were at X: 393 Y: 64, Z: -52, also at the edge of the map.
Didn't record the spawn in points, but I think on both Creative and Survival you entered the world close to the middle, either in or in the water near a mushroom biome in the middle of the map.

Went to sleep I guess as soon as you could, woke up and kept on doing the usual first few days stuff.
Lather, rinse, repeat...and nine or ten MCPE days into this world I've yet to see a single spider. Or creeper on the surface, though I did manage to spawn hostile mobs by intentionally creating a dark tunnel (skeletons, zombies and creepers all showed up inside it.)
My question: Could I keep doing this forever, assuming I remember to sleep before full dark? (Or whenever it is that hostile mobs will spawn on the surface.)

Note: I *know* I'm not playing on peaceful, since I can get hostile mobs underground, and my health doesn't regenerate when I fall, but I'm also running around the whole seed without seeing a single hostile on the surface. (And, yeah, I also checked the settings. )
Note: I did look at the Wiki but I didn't see anything that specifically addressed this issue inside MCPE. Not sure if it matters, but I'm using the Android version of Alpha 0.7.1 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" tablet. Device is NOT rooted and I believe it is running some version of ICS.
Note: I checked and this bed/sleep/preventing surface mob spawning business doesn't seem to apply to XBox. Not sure if that's b/c there's caverns and spawners, or if the two versions are inherently different that way. I don't play on the PC.
