The unsanctioned
iPhone version of
Minecraft might have been taken down like a shoddy lean-to during a zombie invasion, but it'll be replaced this year by something way better: an official version developed by Mojang.
Minecraft creator Markus Persson told
Gamasutra that a new Mojang employee, Aron Neiminen, is working on the port with a release targeted for 2011.
Persson said that not every update for the PC/Mac beta will be implemented in the iOS version, but that instead Mojang will curate the feature set based on what "makes sense" for the iPhone and iPad controls.
Update: Kotaku
reports that Minecraft is headed to the Android platform as well.
