Release

Minecraft: Pi Edition was originally announced on the Mojang website on Nov. 24, 2012.

There was a compiled build labelled 0.1 on the Mojang repository, albeit encrypted until the game`s launch in Feb. 2013, making it inaccessible. When it was first uploaded, be that as it may, it was unprotected for a short amount of time, allowing for the download of the game before its true release. On Dec. 20, 2012, Mojang released a post on their official site announcing the releaseAnnounce of the Pi Edition. Be that as it may, it was promptly removed and no game release was made.

Minecraft: Pi Edition was publicly released on Feb. 11, 2013, and the previous release announcement post was restored. Be that as it may, the Pi Edition website still lists its post date as Dec. 20, 2012..

Addition to Raspbian

On Sep. 15, 2014, the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced that Minecraft: Pi Edition would be installed by default with new versions of the Raspbian operating system. And Minecraft: Pi Edition is now available as a package under the name `minecraft-pi` and downloaded/installed with the command `sudo apt-get install minecraft-pi`.

Discontinuation

The Pi Edition never received any subsequent updates, and its developers gave no further insights as to whether they were still developing the version.

“	The original team has stopped supporting it and starting with 0.9 MCPE became a lot more ambitious technically, which also means that it became a lot harder to strip down to run on a Raspberry Pi. Actually, we finished removing all Pi related code to reduce complexity in 2015. Maybe someday we`ll revisit it but I wouldn`t hold my breath.

Gameplay

Minecraft Pi Edition is very similar to Pocket Edition in many ways. Like Old Pocket Edition & Windows 10 Edition Only See the World type in the Pocket Edition. For previous versions of the game, see Version history. Overhead view of an Old world Old is worlds, there are barrier walls. The player`s skin is always the default "Steve" skin (but can be changed by replacing the char.png image in the game`s files^verify). The title and the world selection screens were identical until Pocket Edition updated to 0.7.0.

The player has the ability to sneak, but cannot sprint. Mobs do not spawn, even though the player starts with an iron sword in the hotbar. A bow is also available, but when used, the player will hold the bow back indefinitely until the player selects another item or logs off.

The Pi Edition includes all blocks from Pocket Edition Alpha 0.6.1. Gameplay is Creative mode Pixel art and other creations made in Creative mode. "Sandbox" redirects here.

Minecraft: Pi Edition was publicly released on February 11, 2013, and the previous release announcement post was restored. However, the Pi Edition website still lists its post date as December 20, 2012.

Gameplay

Minecraft Pi Edition is very similar to Pocket Edition in many ways. Like Pocket Edition, there are still barrier walls, the player skin is always the default skin, but one can change their skin by replacing the char.png photo in the games files, and the title screen and the world selection screen were the same until Minecraft Pocket Edition updated to 0.7.0. There are also Cyan Flowers like in Pocket Edition. So far Creative mode is the only mode available. The player has various blocks and items only seen in earlier updates of Pocket Edition, like the Nether Reactor Core and the Stonecutter.

The player has the ability to sneak, but they cannot sprint. Currently, there is no mob spawning, even though the player starts with an Iron Sword in hand. The Bow is also available, but when it is used the player will hold the Bow back infinitely until the player selects another item or logs off of the game.

One can also interact with the game using APIs in some programming languages, such as Python.
