Minecraft Pocket Edition Lite

Minecraft Pocket Edition Lite was the free version of Minecraft ^MCPE for iOS devices. It didn't include most of the features that the full version of Minecraft had. Its latest version was up to date with Update 0.2.1 of the full version, but without the world save functionality.

The app was removed off of all app stores in 2014.

Trivia[]

Developers have once mentioned that they will update and release another demo/lite version of Minecraft Pocket Edition, although this has never happened.
Blocks that do not spawn naturally are available in the inventory in infinite amounts.
The default username on the iOS version is "Stevie" instead of "Steve".
Some sheep can drop other natural wool colors when sheared, despite all having white wool.
Enabling split touch controls increases your sensitivity and changes your item slot count from 7 to 3 on some devices.
The android version has grayed out items in the inventory that say 'Not available in the demo version', whereas the iOS version does not have this.
'This server has restarted!' message will appear in the chat if you your device turns off or you exit the app, and can lag the game.
Google Play accounts which have downloaded the app before its removal are able to redownload it anytime; other accounts will get a standard "Requested URL not available."
- iTunes accounts which have previously downloaded the app will have it saved to the App Store purchases. From here, the app can be redownloaded and played on any Apple device running iOS 10 or less. Unfortunately, the app is incompatible with devices running iOS 11 or higher as Apple stopped support for 32-bit apps.
