So the live stream is over but i didn't watched it. But does anyone know if the minecraft pocket edition panel is recorded(if they even had a panel) and knows where i can watch it?
<my apologies for my bad english>

[Smint]

The poster seemed to suggest there was a panel but it was on same time as pc and Xbox panel. Only the pc panel was live streamed. I've not managed to find out if a panel did happen and if so what was said.

Anyone at minecon got any news??!?!

damn you general chunks1111 ;D

@dispensir_ on twitter says that he went to the panel and in a nutshell this was the outcome:

"Expectations for minecraft pocket edition: worldwide mulitplayer, bigger worlds and redstone !"

Also heard and I'm not sure where that red stone is aiming for early next year.

Also remember what Johan said about multiplayer, that they try but it may not happen if it doesn't work well.

It will be interesting to see if there is any interoperability between the new raspberry pi version just announced.

The other panels videos are supposed to be appearing soon? I guess they are putting then out bit at a time to conserve bandwidth? I guess they feel people more interested in XBLA version..

I was at the pocket edition panel, but I haven't seen any camera. So it probably isn't recorded :/ But Aron and Johan confirmed that caves won't some out soon, and they will discuss about the bigger worlds. They play to add more PE-only features, and bredding won't be added soon. Also, they plan to add redstone around next year, and they are testing online multiplayer. And about the minecon secret: Aron said that is was an online multiplayer test (or maybe he didn't say the truth because it's a secret???). Anyway, it wasn't really that special. But we do know a little bit more about future updates.

Thanks for that report. Online Multiplayer certainly is something to get everyone excited. I really hope that is the secret and it will be implemented soon. Redstone next year? Sounds good to me Did they mention anything about weather and the day/night cycle that shows the sun and the moon?

Johan did mention the sun/moon in his livestream pre-0.5.0 he said if he implements those you will run into the problem of seeing them underground as you mine to the edge of the world so Im guessing if he fixes it like they did in the xbox version then we could see it around the time of bigger worlds.

first of all, blafbello, minecraft pe was recorded!!!:D Johan said on twitter that minecon was fun and all and that he will be back at work on wednesday AND that a video of the minecraft pe panel will be up this week, damn im exited
And chrismcmine, johan did a live stream on how the reactor will work and answered some question and said that they will look into multiplayer but that it will not be like the pc with a server cause it would be a bad-performance multiplayer and it will probably be with a friend list, good guess
btw: im a huge fan of you both

So let me see if I've got this right, what we know about the timeline for MCPE basically looks like this?

Online multiplayer -- being tested!
PE-only features -- being added at some point (but what features?)
Redstone -- next year (between 1 and 13 months from now)
Caves -- maybe eventually
Bigger worlds -- to be discussed
Breeding -- not soon (maybe eventually?)

Online multiplayer and Armour-they're working on it. Trying to get it in 0.6.0 (two updates from now) Don't get your hopes up probably not.
Redstone- also working on it. Gunna be like PC
Bigger worlds- Wouldn't work (crash and bugs) on older devices
Caves- also wouldn't work well. Maybe an option in future
Pe-only features-No idea if they're working on it. If they are, they're probably working on cameras and nether core
Breeding-Idk if he said anything on it, Eventually. Working on other more important things. 

Got this info from johan's second live stream. Check it out
