Microsoft-owned Mojang just added a fun new feature to Minecraft: Pocket Edition on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Windows 10 Edition Beta (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2953721/software-games/minecraft-windows-10-edition-beta-is-live-the-major-differences-you-need-to-know.html). The mobile version of the open world sandbox now support cross-platform play as of version 0.12.1. All that’s required is that each device is on the same local network.</p><p>
To start, one of the players has to enter a new world or one of their existing worlds. Then everyone else can join in. On Android and iOS, once someone on the same network is in a world, others can click Play and the local world should show up as an option. It may take a few seconds before you see it, but you can see which ones are local worlds since there will be a local IP address associated with it—as you can see above.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2982932/software-games/minecraft-pocket-edition-now-lets-windows-10-ios-and-android-gamers-play-together.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
