In Survival Mode, you start in a random environment and have to use the resources at hand to construct shelter and items to help protect yourself. The game includes various modes for players to enjoy. This element has not been lost in the pocket version of the game. One of the main reasons that Minecraft has become such a phenomenon is the way it prompts you to use your creativity. Mojang has managed to transfer the gameplay of Minecraft to your touchscreen device. The game also offers several personalization options, such as skins and guides. The touchscreen control system is also easy to use, although it is better suited to crafting than to combat. The gameplay is similar to other titles in the series, with the aim of collecting resources and use them to create items that can help you survive in your environment.

Minecraft Pocket Edition is the version of the game for touchscreen devices, such as Android phones. Although initially limited, subsequent releases have incorporated most of the features of the full game, making this a great way to play Minecraft on the go.
