Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.6.0 Released

Mojang has officially released out Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.6.0 update on Android and iOS. You can now visit Appstore/market and update your version. The new patch brings improved D-Pad, signs, armors, stonecutter, baby animals and different new blocks into the game. Mojang has took another leap for Minecraft PE to match the PC version of Minecraft. Hopefully, they will add multiplayer, Joypad and Redstone in next 0.7.0 version.
