MineCon 2011, the meatspace-focused convention for everything Minecraft isn’t set to begin on Friday, but that’s not stopped some big news from creeping out early. Minecraft: Pocket Edition made the switch to the Android Marketplace last month after a long period of exclusivity with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play mobile phone. And while those were certainly greener (blocky) pastures the move to iPhone and iPad should provides an even greater range of possibilities for the portable sandbox.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition was released today on the New Zealand iTunes App Store. This means that a single purchase can be played on both the iPhone and iPad. Minecraft gamemodes The $9.99 NZD price will translate to PS4.99 or 6.99 when it is available or the Android Marketplace release.
