Great news, friends! One of the developers of Minecraft Pocket Edition, Thomas, announced on his Twitter page that the release of Minecraft PE 0.15.0 will happen this week. I believe this will shorten your wait… as we might be able to play the new beta version of MCPE 0.15.0 as soon as today or tomorrow. Please note that Mojang does not operate over the weekend.
But bananas apart, the Android beta of MCPE 0.15 should actually come out this week :)— Tommaso Checchi (@_tomcc) June 1, 2016
Additionally, Jason Major shared a screenshot showing the process of crafting arrows with effects in a brewing stand.
In the screenshot, you can see that Jason added “Poison Potion” into the cauldron. Then he took an arrow and tapped it against the water in the cauldron, which granted the arrow the potion’s effect.
Now, with these arrows, you’ll be able to poison mobs from a distance using your bow.
The new version will also allow players to move items within their inventory slots.
