There's some good news for those who love Minecraft because Mojang has released an update called 0.16.1 for Minecraft Pocket and Windows 10 Edition.

As detailed on Mojang's website, the latest update will fix some bugs and make a better gaming experience.

The Windows 10 version features the ability to play with Xbox Live friends and use multiple control schemes, such as an Xbox controller, keyboard, or touchscreen, and even record and take screenshots in-game using the built-in GameDVR.

Back in Aug. 2011, 'Minecraft': Pocket Edition was released for the Android Market as an early alpha version, and then released to several other compatible devices on that same year. An iOS version was also made available after the Android released.

In September 2014,  Microsoft acquired Mojang and then made a port available for Windows Phone. The port focuses on the creative building and survival aspect of the game but does not contain all the feature of the Minecraft PC version. Minecraft players can download the latest update by going to their favorite app store.

Launched in 2011, 'Minecraft' is a sandbox video game originally developed by Swedish game designer Markus Persson and later developed and published by Mojang.

Mojang's Minecraft is a three-dimensional sandbox video game that has no specific goals for the player to accomplish, giving players the great amount of freedom on how to play Minecraft.

The game focuses on around breaking and placing a block, which composed of rough 3D cubes arranged in fixed grid pattern. The 3D cubes represent different material blocks, such as stone, water, tree trunks, etc.

Minecraft players can gather these materials and place them elsewhere, thus allowing players to build constructions out of those textured cubes in a 3D generated the world.
