One of the hottest requests for the highly popular Minecraft: Pocket Edition has been the inclusion of a Survival Mode, and now it's confirmed! While no specific date has been set, Mojang did indeed confirm that Survival Mode would be next on the development list for the hit portable game. Currently, Pocket Edition features a game mode which closely resembles Minecraft Classic, an early-development version which was the foundation of Minecraft (and later, Creative Mode in the full release).

The earliest version is confirmed for Xperia Play, and will be optimized for the controls and screen-space provided by the popular hand-held device. While no explicit confirmation was given for other platforms, it remains a strong possibility. Be sure to check here for the official release date of Pocket Edition's Survival Mode, right here on the Minecraft Forum!

Telling from my copy of the Pocket Edition (iOS) and its lack of features -- like sneaking or at least the ability to keep the player from falling from ledges, which would be very useful for this version of MC right now, LOL -- as well as the upcoming features that are to come for the Java/PC Minecraft 1.0, I think the implementation of survival would take a very long time.

But apart from that, creepers in our iPad? Can't wait. :biggrin.gif:

Considering the game in size is pretty insignificant, Mojang has a lot of wiggle room for adding things to the app, they could make it 100 items larger and it still wouldn't be a very large app.

Cannot wait until the update comes out for iOS. I also really hope we can give our character a skin at some point.

A friend of mine got the Xperia, and his biggest desire with Minecraft is to be able to have an SMP mode that would enable him to play on multiplayer servers alongside PC/Mac users from his mobile device.

I play the game on my PC, and I'm not familiar with the specifications of the newest cell phones (I'm not paying that much money for a phone, especially considering data plans and service fees). I don't know how doable something like this would be, but it would be awesome for computer/Xbox, and mobile users to be able to interact together in SMP.
