Pocket Edition 0.8.0 is Now Live!

Are you ready to breed an entire farm, and stuff them in a minecart roller-coaster? I hope so, because the 0.8.0 MCPE update is now live! It includes a pile of features:

FEATURES AND CHANGES:

Minecarts, rails, and powered rails!
The view distance has been massively increased. Check the options menu for more!
New textures and colours taken directly from the PC version
New blocks: carpets, more wood types, hay bales, iron bars, and more
New crops and food types, including beetroot, carrots, potatoes and pumpkins. Now you can cook new soups, pies, and more!
A bunch of new items for Creative and Survival, including clocks and compasses
More blocks and items to use in Creative Mode: including jungle wood, ice, bedrock, shears, dyes, and tall grass
New AI: mobs are now more intelligent and you can even breed your own animals
A new Creative Mode inventory with tabs
New functionality and tweaks to existing blocks and items. Bonemeal lets you grow new cool stuff!
Improved lighting and fog effects
Loads of bugs fixed, and possibly some added

You can get the update at the App Store, as well as Google Play. Have fun!

My question is..... why does the pocket edition have such cool features, and you can't even fix the mobs falling through blocks in the PC version. We paid a LOT more for the game than the mobile people.... how about doing a little fixing. huh?

It doesn't say anything about redstone dust in the changelog, but since things like powered rails and compasses were added, I guess redstone dust has been added...? Or do they use another ingredient entirely?

Different development teams. PE has its own little group that works on it, separate from the bigger company working on the PC version.

Yes and no. Redstone now drops redstone dust mined but that dust can't be placed a block like in PC. Instead, it's used solely as part of crafting recipes. Right now, we only have clock, compass, and (always) powered rails.

Yeah I found that when I tried it out earlier today. Thanks anyway though.

Welp, I've tried it out and I have to say, Good Job! I love the new clouds and all of the new items you guys added. I'm a avid user of all 3 versions of Minecraft and i'm surprised you managed to fit this much content into the update. Once again Great Job!

As mentioned previously, sort of. Redstone ore now drops redstone, but it cannot be used as a wire, only as a crafting material.

Yeah! This update will keep those stuck-up xbox people who think their so cool in line! We are now better than them! And we have our own item that nobody else does.... Beet root! Woot, woot!

Quit complaining and shut-up... Actually technically that would be doing the same thing....
But anyway, PC gets updates almost daily! We have waited a long time for something to call our own, beet root, and to have redstone and breeding, so don't spoil our fun!
