Imean if you don't have wifi.. But have cellular data you can use it by going to your settings and enabling cellular data there and then going to the minecraft settings, clicking profile and enabling cellular data there. Then you can play without wifi but with cellular data
Minecraft noob here and I have several questions regarding pocket edition and realms. I'm interested in purchasing Realms for me and my two kids who know much more about Minecraft than I do but they have never used realms.
The oldest plays PC Minecraft but also has an iMac he could use, the youngest uses Pocket Edition on a tablet while I have a Macs. Both of them like Android and I have iPhone. Looking at the purchase page for Realms it's asking me to choose between iOS/Android or Mac/PC. So does this mean we're limited to our options here? My youngest doesn't have the skillset yet to do anything with computers so that would mean the rest of us would be limited to Pocket Edition as well? I'd like to be able to play on the Mac/PC when available and then pick up a phone at some other time on the go and play in the same world. Possible?
Can you change the Realm type later? Ie if I do go with Pocket Edition realms can I change it to PC/Mac later on? I'm asking because I'm assuming the answer to #1 above is going to be segregated from PC and mobile realms.
There are currently two version branches of Minecraft:
the "Bedrock Edition" for iOS, Android, Windows 10, PS4, XBOX and Switch,
as well as the Java-written Java Edition for any Windows version, macOS and Linux.
Both are currently in further development.
All Bedrock Edition players can only engage in crossplay with other Bedrock Edition players.
All Java Edition players can only engage in crossplay with other Jave Edition players.
A Minecraft Realms subscription is limited to either the Bedrock or Java branch.
This is because the Java and Bedrock edition are different in enough ways that they can't smoothly interact, and that worlds from one can't be used in the other.
For the Java Edition, a feasible alternative to Realms is setting up a self-hosted server on a computer of your choosing.
Both Editions allow players to open up their game to users in the same LAN, limiting multiplayer to local play.
For both Editions, there are publicly hosted Servers.
Some of these allow Jave-Bedrock crossplay, but that's always implemented by the server owners and can limit the possibilities on that server.
For all of you who play Minecraft, I'm sure you've been tempted to get the mobile version for your phone or you already have it and have been disappointed. I finally decided that I was going to get the mobile version because I don't have the PC/mac version.
I never knew how much I would actually like it because there were a lot of 10 year olds obsessed with it in my hometown last year and I was rightly annoyed with Minecraft. But watching what you can do on Minecraft, I realized that it must be an alright game so I gave it a try. And here I am today with a mobile app on my phone.
Two weeks ago I went to my buddy's house for a visit and because he has WiFi I decided to get some apps on my Samsung Galaxy S (an android phone) and I happened to see Minecraft. I'd been skeptical about the app because I knew it won't be that similar to the real game and I was ready for disappointment. But I thought "What the heck!" and it was a big mistake on my part.
That day I didn't play Minecraft on my phone because I had the opportunity to play on the computer version anyway and decided to save it for the train ride home. Even then, I didn't play it. I told myself everyday for almost a week "Tonight I'll try it...okay, Tonight I'll try it". One night I was staying up late watching YouTube videos and in at about 3am I got bored but I remembered I had Minecraft so excitedly I turned off my computer and opened the app. It loaded fairly quickly, the logo showed up for Minecraft and I was excited. In order to explore and see what this version of Minecraft was all about, I decided to go on creative mode so I can do whatever and hopefully not die on my first try.
I thought this would be a lot closer to the regular Minecraft than it was. In the creative version I flew around and tried to collect diamonds, coal, iron, but the tools were pre-made and I had a limit on the items (free version). But that wasn't my only problem. In the creative version I was all alone. There were no animals at all. No sheep, cows, chicken, pigs, squids. Nothing. There were no mobs at all. Just a landscape. I got a little freaked out because I felt like there was nothing going on. The map was small so there wasn't much I could do. I flew around, dug some holes, I didn't bother building a house because it was boring. So I decided to try the survival mode. As I soon realized, this was a big mistake.
Survival mode was much more interesting than creative mode. There were only sheep and pigs but it was better than being alone. And the zombies spawned like crazy at night but again I wasn't complaining because I wasn't by myself. So I went about my business and thought now I should build a cool house. So I began my house like I begin all my houses, plain and simple, then I expanded on it day by day as I collected more materials.
Here I was, playing Minecraft, and it was pretty normal. But I still felt these butterflies in my stomach. I felt like, every time I walked by a sheep, it was watching me. This sounds ridiculous because they have always turned their heads if they see you walking by anyway. But it made me feel almost sick when I saw a sheep. I wanted to avoid every single one at all costs.
I tried to make the best of my house, and exploring the map and how exciting it was to finally be able to play Minecraft anywhere I want. Nothing really happened the first couple days. I was building my house and focusing on surviving just the usual. On the 4th day in Minecraft I decided to go out and explore the world again because it was so small and I needed cobblestone for my house. So I set out to find a good place to mine.
Strangely, I didn't pass any sheep, only pigs and I was secretly relieved but I also wondered where they were. But if I could go a day without seeing a sheep I would be happy. As I was approaching a large mountain made of dirt I set out some torches and started to make my way down most likely to bedrock. As I started to fill up the small space I had for my cobblestone I decided to go back to my house to continue building.
Walking along through a forest back to my house I saw a sheep and it was looking the other way so I tried to walk as far around it as I could so it doesn't look at me. I started to feel sick and just as I decided to walk completely the opposite direction of the sheep, I accidentally got too close to a different one behind a tree and it looked at me. But the face on the sheep wasn't the normal face of a Minecraft sheep. Its face looked rather human. It walked towards me and got close to my Minecraft character. It said "Where are you going?" Thinking this was a glitch I walked away, looking at the sheep every so often to make sure it wasn't following me. When I finally got back to my house everything seemed normal so I ignored what I thought just happened and dug away at my house. Then my game crashed.
I held my breath and a message came up saying "Minecraft PE DEMO Unexpectedly quit." I clicked the cancel button underneath slightly not caring and slightly curious. I then decided to go back into the game and see if anything changed.
Much to my relief, when the screen loaded there was nothing different. The game seemed fine, so I decided to load a game in creative mode because I didn't want to see the sheep. Luckily, I was next to a lake which had a mountain on the other side so I decided to climb the mountain to get a better view and fly from there. When I got to the top there wasn't much, a lot of water and some land at the bottom of the mountain behind me. I turned around and flew to see what the landscape was like this time.
I looked on the ground and I saw blue flowers which wasn't anything out of the ordinary. But then I noticed a slight pattern and as I flew closer I saw that they formed letters. I dropped to the ground so I could get a better look and the letters looked like they spelled Y.O.U or Y.A.U. I wasn't sure what was going on. I left the game immediately.
Pocket Edition was initially launched exclusively for the Xperia Play on Google Play[10] for US$6.99 on August 16, 2011. It was later released for other Android devices on October 7, 2011,[24] and iOS on November 17, 2011.[25] On September 13, 2012, the Pocket Edition was made available for purchase on the Amazon Appstore. Minecraft Pocket Edition Lite, which was essentially version 0.2.1 without world save functionality and had limited inventory items, was available until October 21, 2013. The Windows Phone 8.1 version was released on the Microsoft Store on December 10, 2014.[26] The Windows Phone 8.1 version (which also ran on Windows 10 Mobile) was discontinued after the release of v0.16.2 on November 18, 2016, and was later replaced by a release for Windows 10 Mobile only (which was free to owners of the previous Windows Phone 8.1 version) on February 22, 2017 starting with 1.0.3.[27] After the release of 1.0.0, Pocket Edition for Fire OS was no longer available for Fire TV, but the new, more expensive Fire TV Edition was free to its previous owners.
The objective of the game remains the same as its Java and Legacy Console editions counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment. Like its counterparts, Pocket Edition also has survival elements present in other versions of the game such as brewing, hunger, and dimensions like the Nether and the End. The multiplayer mode is cross-platform compatible between all touch-screen devices capable of running Pocket Edition.[28]
