Minecraft (Bedrock)/Demo

This is a sub-page of Minecraft (Bedrock).

The demo's title screen.

A separate version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition was released as a demo alongside version 0.2.1 alpha in March 2012. The demo version was never updated, and quickly fell behind the full version of the game. It was removed from the App Store and Google Play Store on October 21, 2013, while the full game was on v0.7.6 alpha.

It's not really different from the full version of Alpha 2.1 but there are differences such as:

• The inability to save your worlds.
• The limited selection of items.

It was branded as Minecraft: Pocket Edition Lite for iOS users to work around the App Store guidelines disallowing demos.

Unused XML Files

After properly disassembling the game's .apk file, you can see various XML files in their disassembled glory. Some are unused.

btn_nw_create.xml

This file would have been used for the world creation screen's "create world" button.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/create_1_3" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/create_0_3" />

create_new_world.xml

This is the full version's world creation screen.

Unused Graphics

Image	File Name	Purpose
	worldname_3.png	Would be used for the world creation screen. Since you cannot save your world in the demo, the ability to name your world would be pointless.
	add.png	Might have been used for the world selection screen (as a button) but again, the fact that you can't save your worlds in the demo would make this graphic absolutely pointless even if it was used. It may have been an older version of another graphic.
	create_0_3.png	Would have been used for the world creation screen as a button to create the world. However, this button is simply unused as if you tap either button for the gamemodes, it would just create the world with the gamemode that you chose, rendering this button useless.
	create_1_3.png	Another variant of create_0_3.png, except it is for when the player taps the button.
	Part of touchgui.png	Would have been used for the world selection screen but once again, the fact that you can't save your worlds in the demo would make this graphic absolutely pointless even if it was used.
	Part of touchgui.png	Another variant of the previous graphic, except it is for when the player taps the button.
	default_world.png	Would be used for the world selection screen, but since there is no such menu used, this graphic goes unused.
