Things-To-Know About Creative Mode

Just a couple of things to keep in mind for people who don't know much about Creative Mode.
  • Multiplayer clients can still die from things like lava etc.
  • Double tap the middle button to fly.
  • Hold your finger on the middle button and then drag it up on to the up button to fly up.
  • Hold your finger on the middle button and then drag it down on to the down button to fly down.
  • All blocks are unlimited.
  • Monsters can't be found on Creative Mode.
  • On Creative Mode it will never go dark.
  • Multiplayer hosts can't die, unlike clients.
  • Blocks can be mined faster. They can be mined even faster if they require tools on Survival Mode.
If there is anything new, I'll update you on it.

Known Bugs on the Game

  • Mobs often spawn inside lit buildings
  • Multiplayer clients often are knocked far away by the host
  • When charging the bow, sometimes things (flowers and torches) are mined and others (sand, soil etc) are half-mined

This post will be updated soon.

How to Make a Mob Spawner

Ever seen on Minecraft for Xbox and PC people can build mob spawners so zombies etc just come right out of it? Well, you can build a proper mob spawner of Pocket Edition, but you can make a fairly good make-shift one. These instructions will also show you how to make a trap for mobs, too.

Step 1: Build a fairly large room completely out of cobblestone.

Step 2: Make a 2x2 hole on one side of the building (not the roof!).

Step 3: Above the hole, place 2x2 blocks (if this step confuses you, here is a picture to show you what I mean).













Step 4: Under the thing-you-made-in-step-three, make a hole three blocks deep. Make it the same width/length of the thing-you-made-in-step-three. Still confused? Here is a picture to show you.













Step 5: Put a fence around the hole to stop spiders from escaping.

Step 6: That's pretty much it! Just to be sure, here is an image of a mob spawner I made. If it doesn't look similar to this, there is something not right about it.


Also, here is some images of zombies and stuff trapped inside the hole.







Enjoy your mob spawner!

(If anything on the game changes to improve/change the mob spawner, I will update this post about it.)


List of Ores Available

Pocket Edition doesn't have that many ore types. Here is a list of ores and what they can be used for.

Coal

Used for: Torches
Colour: Black
Rarity: Common

Coal is used to craft torches and is the most commonly found ore on the game. It is also good for burning things in furnaces as it lasts for a while before being completely burned.

Iron

Used For: Tools, Weapons, Iron Blocks, Shears
Colour: Cream
Rarity: Uncommon

Iron is used to craft hoes, pick axes, axes, shovels, shears and swords. It must be smelted in a furnace before crafting with it.


Gold

Used For: Tools, Weapons, Gold Blocks
Colour: Gold
Rarity: Rare

Gold is used to craft hoes, pick axes, axes, shovels and swords. It must be smelted in a furnace before crafting with it.


Diamond

Used For: Tools, Weapons, Diamond Blocks
Colour: Light Blue
Rarity: Scarce

Diamond is used to craft hoes, pick axes, axes, shovels and swords. It must be smelted in a furnace before crafting with it. Diamond is one of the rarest ores on Minecraft.


Redstone

Used For: Nothing at the moment.
Colour: Red
Rarity: Rare

Redstone currently has no uses on Minecraft Pocket Edition and can't be mined.


Lapis Lazuli

Used For: Creating dyes, Lapis Lazuli blocks
Colour: Blue
Rarity: Scarce

Lapis Lazuli is used to colour wool. It can be mixed with bone meal or other dyes to create secondary dyes.

Things that can Hurt your Minecraft Dude

I'm just going to list all the things that can take health from your dude. Some are things you will already know and some, you may not know or never experienced.
  • Skeletons fire arrows at you
  • Spiders jump at you (only at night or when provoked)
  • Zombies just kinda hit you
  • Burning in lava
  • Drowning underwater
  • Falling from heights
  • Getting hit by another dude in multiplayer
  • Touching cacti
Don't do/go near any of these and you should be safe. For now.

The Cactus Trap

Step 1: Dig a fairly deep hole (can be any width you want, depending on how many cacti you have) which goes down.

Step 2: Make sure one side of the hole has a in one block higher than the rest (meaning the edge - at the top - of the hole). This is so the victim won't see the hole. If this hole is for mobs, ignore this step.

Step 3: fill the bottom of the hole with cacti.

Step 4: Now just wait until the victim falls to his/her death!

This cactus trap is a simple and easy/quick to make version. Check out Youtube or whatever to find better cactus traps.

Since this update brings out a lot of things that Xbox and PC Minecraft have, there is not much left to release. Or is there? Some Minecraft PE players don't know much about what you can get on PC and Xbox Minecraft so they don't know what to expect. Here is a list of new things that could be added in a further update:
  • Tracks and minecarts (often used for rollercoasters).
  • Mobs: mooshroom, ocelot (cat), squid, villager, enderman, wolf (dog), zombiepigman, blaze, cave spider, ghast, magma cube, silverfish, slime, spider jockey, snow golem, iron golem and ender dragon
  • New furniture
  • Minecarts and Tracks

Top World Seeds!

One of my very favourite Pocket Edition world seeds is 'nyan'. I like it because it has lava and water flows everywhere, caves, mountains and more.
 Here are some images of the map. If you have any good seeds, please comment them below and possibly add a short description about it and maybe an image.
