Minecraft Headed to iOS Devices This Year
by Alice O'Connor, Feb 21, 2011 9:00am PSTIndie megastar Minecraft will be released for iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad later this year, Gamasutra reports. Rip-offs and clones of Mojang's dig 'em up have been made for Apple's magical consumer electronics devices before, but nothing official.
Mojang founder Markus 'Notch' Persson explained to Gamasutra that the iOS version won't necessarily receive all the same updates as the original version, which is still in beta, but rather only features which "make sense" for the touch-screen devices. The port is being handled by a new member of Mojang, Aron Neiminen.
There's no word yet on a price nor a release date more specific than "later this year."

""3.3.1 — Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited)."
I also think that notch once said (after Apple decided to stop Java on OS X) that he would not port it to OSX if the support for a Java Runtime was gone.

One thing, though: the land is basically unlimited in every direction, but the sky is only like .5 miles high. They should totally figure out a way so that you can build into space if you wanted to, as in stack blocks underneath you until the landscape curves and the sky turns black. Or something equally as amazing.
While they're at it, they may as well create a recipe for some type of lighter-than-air material and propulsion system, so we could at least make balloons and explore through flight. Too much?

- Look and move at the same time whilst digging.
- Do I tap the screen to dig or hold a finger on what I want to dig?
- How do I jump?
Without these basic things being easy to do minecraft would be unbearable. As it is the PC version is not even done and I kinda regret buying it at Alpha. Don't get me wrong I like it but I started playing at Alpha, my world where I made my stuff was built in Alpha so theere isn't any of the newer blocks in the area I spawned in and made my homebase.
Anyway I suppose that the PC version will be done this year then? Oh by the way since there are rumors of a bigger IPhone (5" screen) do you think that will make it more playable? What about the PSP phone with its dual stick things?
