Revisions

The apk file for v0.1.0 alpha has different internal versions. Any other differences are currently unknown.

Versions

• Version: 0.1(1), Size: 1.65 MB
• Version: 0.1(2), Size: 1.61 MB
• Version: 0.1(2), Size: 1.60 MB

Demo

A demo for Alpha 0.1.0 was released exclusively to the Xperia Play on an unknown date.

"Canada" Demo

Template:Version conjecture On August 17, 2011, an APK labeled mcpe01_canada.apk was uploaded to the pe/ directory of assets.minecraft.net. Despite having the same package name as the full release, it is labeled on the main menu as a demo. Further differences from the demo released on Google Play are unknown, as is the reason for its creation and release.

Touch Prototype

On September 27, 2011, an APK labeled minecraftpe.apk was uploaded to the pe/ directory of assets.minecraft.net. The most notable difference between this build and the Google Play release is that it has a prototype of the touch controls that would later be officially implemented in v0.1.1. Unlike official releases, the Java code of the APK file is unobfuscated, suggesting that it might be a debug build.

Additions

• Template:Version exclusive: Adds touchscreen controls
• New UI for touch screen devices.

Bugs

• Minecraft:Fire is invisible, and due to uninitialized memory, can spread to any block, even if not normally flammable, including Minecraft:air.<ref>Template:Link</ref>
• Stairs are invisible when held
• Stairs are invisible when within a 16×16×16 chunk-aligned area with no other blocks
• The game will crash when an attempt to render an item in the hotbar is made
• TNT will not spawn a primed version of itself in the demo versions (though it tries)
• The pictures taken by a camera will include its smoke particles.
