'Multiplayer for Minecraft PE' Brings Online Servers to 'Minecraft Pocket Edition' Ahead of Mojang's Official Solution
We are literally buried with GDC 2013 meetings and coverage, but something popped up on our forums today that caught our eye and we just had to let you know about it. It's called Multiplayer for Minecraft PE [$2.99], and it apparently does exactly what its title suggest: allow you to join and host multiplayer servers for Minecraft - Pocket Edition [$6.99 / Free]. Visit multiplayer minecraft servers for more info.
As I mentioned, we're swamped at the moment so we haven't fiddled around with the app ourselves just yet, but our forums are abuzz with talk of the release and it seems that Multiplayer for Minecraft PE indeed works as intended. It even includes a ton of features like voice chat, private servers, user management, and more. And besides the initial download price, the service is free. The one caveat, if you can even call it that, is that it only works over WiFi, not 3G or LTE. Also, in case it wasn't obvious, you'll need to own either the free or paid version of Minecraft - Pocket Edition.
