Pocket Edition v0.2.0 alpha

v0.2.0 alpha was a major update to Minecraft: Pocket Edition. It added Survival mode as well as other changes and fixes. This version is the start of the Android and iOS devices having the same features cross-platform.

Blocks

 * Fence
 * Fence gate
 * Wooden door

Items

 * Tools
 * Stone shovel
 * Stone pickaxe
 * Stone axe
 * Stone sword
 * Shears
 * Shearing a sheep requires tapping and holding on the sheep, similar to breaking a block. Simply tapping on it hurts the sheep and eventually kills it (8 hits).

Mobs

 * Sheep
 * Pigs
 * Do not spawn naturally.
 * Zombies
 * Only spawn at night.

Gameplay

 * Creative
 * All worlds created before alpha 0.2.0 will be in Creative.
 * Flight
 * Tap the jump button twice to initiate flight. From there, double tap and hold up or down to ascend or descend respectively.
 * Survival
 * Daylight cycle
 * Crafting is not yet available, making tools and anything that cannot be naturally acquired not obtainable in survival:
 * Although it is survival, the user can still see all items in their inventory as though in creative mode, but cannot use them unless having gathered the respective material.
 * This effectively works as the inventory, but lacks the standard 2×2 crafting grid from the original inventory.
 * The following materials are in infinite stacks, which is indicated by ∞ (infinity) symbols:
 * Stone shovel
 * Stone pickaxe
 * Stone axe
 * Shears
 * Stone sword
 * Ladder
 * Torch
 * Wooden door
 * Fence
 * Fence gate
 * Planks
 * Bricks
 * Wood and cobblestone stairs
 * Stone slab
 * 13 of the 16 colored wool blocks (excluding white, magenta, and orange)
 * Glass
 * Leaves
 * When an item that has not been gathered is selected, the player's fist is shown.
 * Added a hitpoints bar (health will slowly regenerate, similar to peaceful difficulty in the Java Edition).
 * Added an oxygen bar when underwater, adding the ability to drown and die.
 * Added death with options to respawn or go to main menu.
 * When breaking materials, any material can be gathered regardless of what tool is used.
 * For example, stone can be broken without tools and still yield cobblestone, though using a pickaxe is still faster.
