D3Live: Minecraft Mobile

**Minecraft Mobile: Everything You Need to Know**

Welcome back to another episode of D3 Live! This week, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on a lot of people’s minds—*Minecraft* mobile. If you’re not familiar with *Minecraft*, it’s a fantastic game for the PC that allows you to build, destroy, and do pretty much whatever you want. I like to think of it as a first-person Lego video game, even though there have technically been those, but *Minecraft* stands out as something truly special.

This week, it was announced that *Minecraft* is finally coming to mobile devices. The Xperia Play will be the first device to get it, which makes sense since it has physical controls—something that could be really nice for playing *Minecraft*. While there’s not a lot of information available yet, we’ll be seeing more at E3 from June 7th through 9th, where they’ll show off the game and tell us when we can buy it and all the details.

In the meantime, I thought it would be cool to get everyone’s opinions and talk about what you’d like to see in *Minecraft* mobile. If you’ve never seen D3 Live before, this is a live show being recorded right now on Blog TV, and there are quite a few people here. We’re taking questions and just talking about everything related to *Minecraft* mobile.

### Will Minecraft Mobile Be Available for iPhone?

Yes, it will! They’ve said for a while now that it’s coming to both Android and the iPhone. The Xperia Play is an Android device, so it makes sense that it’s getting the game first because of its physical controls. However, it should definitely be coming to both platforms eventually—probably starting with Android since they’re already working on it.

### Syncing with Desktop

One thing people are excited about is syncing their builds between desktop and mobile versions. Imagine building a world on your computer and then being able to drag it over or have it synced on your phone. That would make the addiction even stronger! We’re hoping that this feature will be available, but we’ll have to wait for more details.

---

### How Much Will It Cost?

The price is still unclear, especially for iOS. I can imagine they might charge a decent amount since *Minecraft* is already a premium game on PC. But if you’ve already bought it on desktop, would it be free? That’s doubtful. On the other hand, I hope it won’t be too expensive. If I were in charge, I’d price it lower to attract more people and get them interested in the full desktop version.

---

### Is Minecraft Mobile an Angry Birds Killer?

No, not yet! Angry Birds is still a huge name in mobile games, but until Angry Birds 14 comes out or something like that, nothing can dethrone it. *Minecraft* has a lot of potential on mobile, especially if they get the multiplayer features right.

---

### Multiplayer Compatibility

This is a good question. From what we can tell, the game looks more like *Minecraft Classic* rather than the beta version. It might not have all the standard features of the PC version but could still include multiplayer. Hopefully, it will have that core feature to keep players engaged.

---

### Will Minecraft Come to Consoles Next?

Possibly, but Mojang is a small company, and they’re not big enough to spread *Minecraft* across every platform at once. While we might see it on consoles like the NGP or 3DS later down the line, don’t expect it anytime soon.

---

### Will There Be Mods?

I would love mods to be available! On Android, it’s likely that there will be easy ways to mod the game, but on iOS, it might require jailbreaking. On Android, I’m confident mods will be possible, but for iOS, it’s a bit less clear.

---

### How Much Would I Pay?

Personally, I’d pay $10 for *Minecraft* mobile because I love the game that much. However, if I were running Mojang, I’d price it lower—maybe around $2—to get as many people as possible interested in the full desktop version.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys and welcome to this week's episode of D3 live so today we're going to be talking about a topic that on a lot of people's minds this week which is Minecraft mobile now if you're not familiar with Minecraft in general you definitely should be it's a fantastic game for the PC that allows you to basically Build Destroy do whatever you want I I like to think of it as like a first person Lego video game even though there's technically been those but Minecraft is a fantastic game and this week it was announced that they will actually be coming to mobile devices starting with the Sony Xperia Play so now there's not a whole lot of information on this just yet we will be seeing a lot more June 7th through 9th at E3 and they will be showing it off telling us when we can buy it and all that kind of stuff but in the meantime I thought it would be kind of cool to get some of uh everyone's opinions and talking a little bit about it and just get a little bit of the discussion on what you all you all guys want to see on Minecraft mobile so of course if you guys have never seen D3 live before it is a live show is being recorded right now on Blog TV and there are quite a few people in here so we just go ahead and take some questions and just talk about Minecraft mobile uh will Minecraft mobile go to iPhone Yes actually I do believe it will uh they said quite a while ago that it's going to be coming to both Android and the iPhone and if you guys are not familiar the Xperia Play is on Android I believe probably the reason why it's going to that first is just because it actually has physical controls which should be definitely really nice for and uh for Minecraft but yeah that's it should be coming to both uh probably Android first of course but yeah um sync it up with a desktop version that would be fantastic now uh basically what he means there is just if you're like let's say You're Building world on your desktop and you you have a nice World well if you could just drag it and or have it synced or whatever over to your world on your phone that would be really cool um Minecraft that just just makes the addiction just a little bit better um how much will it cost for iOS um it's kind of hard to say uh I can imagine that they could probably charge quite a bit for uh for it on the mobile device um but to be honest I really have no idea I mean it could be free if you have already bought it on the desktop which I really doubt but uh yeah it's I would hope that it's not going to be that expensive but again I have honestly no idea um is it an Angry Birds killer of course no I don't think anything's an Angry Birds killer until Angry Birds 14 comes out or whatever we have multiplayer compatibility uh that's actually a good question I'm not 100% sure on that one uh from what it looks like it actually looks more like instead of beta it looks more like in Minecraft classic now again don't quote me on that they very well could have uh you know all the beta features a little bit later on but um for what it looks like it looks like a little bit more of a streamlined version of Minecraft that's going to be perhaps might not have all the standard features that you would expect on standard Minecraft um but hopefully it we have multiplayer and all that kind of stuff do I think it will come to the Xbox and Playstation 3 next uh perhaps I know they have talked a little bit about perhaps getting into consoles however uh if you guys are not familiar Mojang which is the company who makes Minecraft they're really small and they're just not big enough in my opinion to spread Minecraft out to a million devices at once so so um while I certainly think it's possible that we might see it on some home consoles or indeed something maybe like even like the NGP or the 3DS or something it's it's possible that we might see that a little bit later on but I don't see that happening right now will there be mods uh I would hope so and again coming back I more than likely it's actually going to be a streamlined version of Minecraft it might not have all the features and texture packs and whatnot as the standard version does in fact I'm almost sure it won't have everything um but I would imagine especially when it comes to Android that mods will happen one way the other um on iOS uh it's a little less clear on you know how it will be able to implement the mods whatnot most likely will be have to be jailbroken but on Android I would not be surprised whatsoever if it's uh if there are ways to mod it that are become very easy to do um what's the most I would pay well personally I'm a pretty big fan of Minecraft so I would probably pay $10 if that was what they charged for it um I would hope that they do it a lot cheaper especially if they were able to get something more like in the dollar $2 range um I think would absolutely just just taught the charts everyone would buy it on Android and iOS and it would get a lot of people interested in the full desktop version of Minecraft as well so um I of course like I said I would pay a lot for it but if I was M if I was behind Minecraft I was going to be the guy who was pricing it I would probably price it pretty low just to get tons and tons of people interested in the game so anyway guys that's about it for this week's episode of D3 live um hopefully you enjoyed and if you did feel free to subscribe up above I do this every week at Saturday at 3:00 Eastern time so you can go ahead and subscribe on YouTube and watch the pre
