The description of Minecraft Pocket Edition - Play With New Friends
A game of creativity and survival in your pocketMinecraft is a sandbox video game that blew apart the gaming world. Sandbox games revolve around harnessing the player’s creativity toward achieving an in-built goal. This game does not merely stimulate, distract, or entertain. This game is a mine of exploration and infinite creations built with the simplest of building blocks.Minecraft sandboxinfinite creationsAs an adventure title, Minecraft has an overarching narrative and a storyline, complete with a so-called final boss, although the story and the gameplay never really end. With its child-friendly physics and use of the 3D voxel art style, it's a game designed for all kinds of players.adventure3D voxel art styleExplore a 3D grid of biomesThe game was once a standalone version for portable devices, but now you can play Minecraft across Android, iOS and on the PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and now on PS4. It is only the Windows 10 edition of the game that works with this version, and not the Java edition, which has different features. To differentiate the two types of game, the mobile version is often called Bedrock.PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and now on PS4Windows 10the mobile version is often called BedrockWith the enhanced crossplay, now even more players can enjoy Minecraft and interact with each other. This sandbox game doesn’t have specific goals or a particular narrative. After generating your new world, you are tasked to survive and unleash your creativity to build a virtual reality using blocks. Blocks represent the world's materials, and players can mine them with bare hands or tools. At present, there are various materials that you can mine. But with the recent update called Caves and Cliffs, you can have over 90 new blocks. Among those is the copper block, which ages the longer you play the game.Caves and Cliffs,over 90 new blockscopper block,In the gameplay, you explore an open world laid out on a 3D grid. This world is further separated into varying terrains, including mountains, oceans, snow, deserts, plains, and forests, called biomes. In the Caves and Cliffs update, the mountains and cavernous areas of the map will have more height. With this, the caves you explore will be a lot more open. Don't worry, though. Your current map will not be affected as the changes are more in the areas outside the ones you’ve explored.open worldmore heightcurrent map will not be affectedAs you explore and build, you will encounter other players and characters that aren’t other players, known as mobs. These could be villagers, hostile creatures, or animals.

You’ll need to gather natural materials to create shelters as protection from monsters, and you’ll need to find food to fight off hunger.

You have an inventory, where you can store and choose materials, such as wood for building. The main parts of the game are moving around and picking up and placing blocks. The adaptation of these functions for the touchscreen has been done successfully.buildingadaptation of these functions for the touchscreen has been done successfullyPlacing blocks can be achieved by tapping the screen in the desired location. Other actions, such as destroying blocks that required a mouse click have been changed to pressing and holding, which works very well. The options menu allows a player to adjust the controls and the camera view. There are also split touch controls, which are ideal for bigger screens.adjust the controlssplit touch controlsThe graphics and soundtrack are unique, but not anything to wow and impress you.
