Minecraft: Pocket Edition receives a new update with additional Redstone components
The first update of 2016 is here for the insanely popular Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
Red is the stone
Version 0.14.0 features a number of new additions for Redstone builders.
If you don’t remember, Redstones arrived with an update in November. It’s a structure that allows gamers to control powered mechanisms – all the way from simple devices like a light switch to more complicated fare like elevators. It definitely opens up the possibilities in the already multi-faceted game.
The update adds other Redstone components like comparators, repeaters, dispensers, droppers, hoppers, trapped chests, and various additional Minecart types.

Other additions include spooky witches and their huts, complete with cauldrons filled with random potions and the ability to dye armor.
And along with slime blocks and wearable pumpkins, item frames allow players to display their coolest items for all to see.
