- REDIRECT Template:Edition
Template:Rcat Beta that was released over the timeframe of September 4–9, 2015. For Pocket Edition, it adds many new things such as Minecraft:the Nether, Minecraft:brewing, enchanting, hunger, weather, and many more additions which helped to bring it closer to Java Edition, as well other changes and fixes.
The release was initially intended to coincide with the release of Windows 10 Edition on July 29, 2015, when it was announced at MINECON 2015. However, it was delayed due to obstacles in its development in the days leading up to its intended release date, making this the first version of 0.12 for Pocket Edition.<ref name=Delay>Template:Tweet</ref>
