Maybe if we go deeper into the files, we can find a use for it, like a secret 11 (10 fingers + nose) touch that will activate it! But for now, we will never know Evau1 20:50, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Actually, it does have a use. As thesquid120 said, it takes a screenshot without the HUD. Don't remember the file where the pics are stored...24.196.6.243 03:56, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Textures?
Can someone post the textures? I don't have a Xperia play and if I did I will, most likely, not know how to see the files.

Also in iOS version
I've looked through the files on my jailbroken iPhone - camera.png is in there as well.

 * Yea I realized that the image would need to be changed to a mobile device or something after the release of the iOS version. Need someone to change it. - Asterick6 23:34, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Why is it a block?
If it is just a texture now, how do you know that it's a block and not entity or item? DiEvAl 14:30, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * in the files i got that litle image.Scarecrow1000 03:52, 28 March 2012 (UTC)


 * In a disassembled Android libminecraftpe.so, the camera is an Entity, TripodCamera, with methods common to entities such as getEntityTypeId as well as a CameraItem for the inventory view. Its renderer is based on an entity renderer, as its render method is TripodCameraRenderer::render(Entity*, float, float, float, float, float). I think this should be moved to an Entity.

Blast resistance
How do we know the blast resistance? Is there any coding for that? 66.87.7.207 18:22, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Moss stone in the picture
When I looked closely at the photo with Steve and a house covered by smoke, I saw moss stone. amoss stone will be in 0.4.0, but how come moss stone is there when 0.4 is not even released yet? Dlpham 18:16, 24 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I took that pic in a world with many hacked-in blocks, including mossystone. You'll notice it's also the Faithful 32 TP. It's just what I had up and running at the time the camera entity was discovered. --OSX2000 11:39, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Any change in 0.16.0
In answer to 's question in this edit summary:

I haven't gotten involved yet in disassembling the PE version, to be able to answer this question, so maybe,, you can help:

Besides that  is now listed in the  autocomplete, and besides that it can't actually be summoned (neither of which I think warrant a mention in the changelog, in my opinion), are there any notable changes to the camera in 0.16.0?
