Chapter 259: : Players' Eager Anticipation
If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again
The pocket version of Minecraft was to allow players to experience the fun of the game on mobile, but compared to the PC and VR version, the mobile version loses out on a lot of content.
The mobile version didn’t support ‘Everybody’s World’ and ‘Chen Mo’s World’, but everything else was still there.
The VR, PC, and mobile versions shared the same code, meaning that the buildings players built on the mobile version could also be sold as blueprints and built on PC.
Chen Mo felt that the mobile version was in a good place, and the hardware wouldn’t support it even if he wanted to improve it anymore.
Thus, Minecraft’s PC, mobile, and international versions were all complete.

Minecraft was still continuing to gain popularity on various websites and forums.
And many designers were surprised at how well the game was still doing.
A month after its release, it already beat Thousand Hells’ in many aspects coming from a ten times price difference, making it an even more interesting topic.
Moreover, from the looks of the trending searches, topics on various forums, as well as various statistics, Minecraft kept its momentum as there were various types of content released daily as the player base continued to grow.
The most dumbfounded out of everyone was probably the designer of Thousand Hells, Yan Zhenyuan.
From an investment and game quality perspective, Thousand Hells was absolutely better than Minecraft, and from the feedback, player’s tastes as well as expert opinion, Thousand Hells was a flawless game.
But somehow, it just never gained popularity.
In theory, although Thousand Hells was priced higher than Minecraft, but because it was still within a reasonable price for VR games, there was no way it would lose out that badly.
But this game was lacklustre in many statistics and managed to earn a pretty penny, but it was completely overwhelmed by Minecraft, even giving the players an impression that Thousand Hells’ hype had already died down.
And even Yan Zhenyuan couldn’t understand this and concluded with this: Blackmagic.
And often when others talk about this topic, they’d think of what Chen Mo said during his video game announcement.
“Thousand Hells is a really fun game. It’ll surely sit at the top of the best sellers and be incredibly popular!”
Did Chen Mo really jinx it?
No way right?
Although this was completely ridiculous, Chen Mo’s jinx left an impression in the minds of many.

A most gained the attention of many players on Minecraft’s discussion forums.
It was titled: “Incredibly touching! Designer Mr Chen Mo’s gift to my daughter Nini.”
This post was from Nini’s father himself. Not only did he go through everything that happened, he even included a little clip.
The video was filmed from the father’s phone. In the video, Nini was focused on building a house in game with a tablet in her hand. Evidently, Nini’s building skills were much better than before, and even used stone to build a good looking wall.
The post gained the attention of many players.
“Wow, Nini’s so cute!”
“Chen Mo even gave Nini a present— Mobile version of Minecraft? My goodness, Chen Mo’s so nice, I’d marry him!”
“Yeah, Chen Mo is so sensitive!”
“Nini seemed like a building prodigy. Her house looks amazing, probably all thanks to the inspiration from the game right?”
“Kids probably shouldn’t’ spend that much time on mobile devices, it’s not good for their eyes. Take care of Nini, OP(original poster).”
“You guys aren’t focusing on the right thing! Shouldn’t we be talking about the mobile version of Minecraft?”
“Yeah, I was about to ask. Clearly Minecraft has a mobile version, when will Chen Mo announce it? I want to build houses anywhere too!”
“Yeah, release the mobile version too! So us without VR pods can play too!”
“Yeah, I was still struggling if I wanted to buy a VR gaming pod for this. I don’t have to anymore, please release the VR version.”
Eventually the topic revolved into everyone ushering Chen Mo to release the mobile version of Minecraft.
Although Minecraft was incredibly popular taking over many video and streaming websites, a huge portion of players have never tried the game.
The reason was simple, they didn’t have a VR gaming pod.
One in five PC players owned a VR gaming pod, meaning only twenty percent of players could play the game. All the other players could do was watch others play in an attempt to quench their thirst.
These were all waiting to play Minecraft to prove that they were building prodigies and gain the respect of many.
But the entry level was too high.
There were only two ways they could play the game. First was buying a VR gaming pod then spending one hundred and twenty eight to buy the game. The other was spending that one hundred and twenty eight RMB to buy the game then pay fifty RMB every hour to play in a VR internet cafe.
But Minecraft wasn’t the type of game to playthrough just for the experience. It didn’t have extraordinary production value, and players had to spend a sufficient amount of time to fully realise the fun of the game, so it would be painful to go through that experience in an internet cafe.
Therefore, these players that have been eyeing the game were still hesitant on buying the game because of their wallets.
Some industry professionals have concluded that although Minecraft had rich gameplay, it wasn’t resource intensive and would have no difficulties if it was ported onto PC. Porting it to mobile however may warrant some decrease in content, but the core of the game would still be there.
Therefore, everybody thought that Chen Mo must make a PC and mobile version. If he didn’t, other companies would most certainly take this opportunity to make knockoffs, and Chen Mo wouldn’t be dubm enough to make that mistake.
And with this video of Nini release, the players are confident that Chen Mo had the mobile version of the game planned, and it was almost finished.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Chen Mo released a Weibo announcing PC, mobile, and international versions of Minecraft, officially released on the twenty eighth of September
And Chen Mo added that VR, PC, and Mobile versions will have crossplay.
The players were incredibly happy to hear this. VR players were releasing guides and tutorials for the game, and those who have never played Minecraft looked forward to the release of PC and mobile versions.
