Pi Edition

Minecraft: Pi Edition is the upcoming version of Minecraft developed for the Raspberry Pi. It will be based on the already existing Pocket Edition but will be slightly cut down, contain a revised feature set and support for multiple programming languages. The Pi Edition is intended as an educational tool for novice programmers. It will be available to download for free, and users are encouraged to open and change the game's code using its API.

It is being developed by Aron Nieminen - one of the developers of the Pocket Edition, as well as Daniel Frisk.

There is a compiled build labelled 0.1 on the Mojang repository but it is currently encrypted so nobody can access it. When it was first uploaded people had downloaded it, because it was unprotected for a short amount of time. There are also records of Mojang either blocking or deleting a post announcing the release of the Pi Edition created on the 20th of December, and trying to access the post now produces a 404 error. However, players can still access a cached version of the blog post. [This link is outdated, please provide a working link or remove the previous statement.]
