Minecraft PE 1.0 [The Ender Update]

Unexpectedly for everyone, the developers released the beta MCPE 0.17.0, which includes the long-awaited End, Ender Dragon, End City, and much more! This is truly a massive update, and all players were surprised by such a gift from Mojang.

Currently, the version is numbered 0.17.0, but the release will be version 1.0. This marks a transition to a new level of game updates. Now we will receive them more often, and soon the game will feature command blocks, fireworks, and other capabilities.

The update for Minecraft Pocket Edition 1.0 is called The Ender. I think it's clear why the developers chose that name.

What's new in the game? The most important thing is the End and the Ender Dragon, as well as the End City. It's worth noting that the End City was added in PC version 1.9, but the mobile developers apparently decided to add everything at once rather than gradually.

Now the world height in the game will be 256 blocks instead of 128! This opens up new possibilities for maps! The Elytra (wings) have been added. Use them to quickly descend from a high mountain or fly away from a crowd of enemies.
