Minecraft developer Mojang has confirmed that the Minecraft Pocket Edition will getting an update soon that will give you several new items and much more. The biggest addition here will be player skins. Player skins have been available for a while for Minecraft on PC and consoles, so it’s about time they are adding player skins to the Pocket Edition. That will make things more fun.
At first Mojang is going to provide a few skins for free and it will sell others through in-app purchases. A pack of 20 skins will cost you about $1. That’s a great deal
Players will also be able to upload skins directly to their character over the web, even skins that they have created themselves. They’ll do this using the Minecraft Skin Studio. This update also brings a handful of other improvements like multiple language support, new animals, the ability to fish because why not, the ability to throw stuff from boats like eggs and snowballs, as well as boats that have space for two and much more. It seems jam packed with new stuff.
Mojang also says that the update will bring more “cool things that you should discover for yourself,”. So there are lots of surprises to find along the way.
