Microsoft-owned Mojang has announced a pretty big update to its popular Minecraft Pocket Edition app for iPhone and iPad devices. If you already have the app, then you just need to get the latest version, but if you're looking to get it, now might be the time to download the game as it comes with many new features. Minecraft said the following on their official blog:

"Skins are the way you change the appearance of your Minecraft character. Instead of looking like Alex or Steve, you can roll with a different vibe, like a butcher, dog, or plumber. Skins are purely cosmetic – they don’t affect the way the game plays or give you any special abilities."

Speaking of the most recent version, Mojang says they have improved the graphics, increased performance, and killed off heaps of bugs in one massive update. Here's the full changelog of the game:

Loads of bug fixes
More watery-looking water
Foggier-looking fog
Even more particles than before
Tinted lighting on terrain and mobs
Improved performance on many devices
More fences! More fence gates! Everyone loves fences
Gold mines in Mesa biomes. Get rich quick
Baby animals can now swim without sinking
Play Creative Mode during both the day and night
Lots more cool stuff that you can discover for yourself

The paid skins are available to purchase in bundles, but users can also upload or create their own or choose to find free skins within the game. For one dollar, you’ll get around 20 skins, if you prefer the easier way. Go ahead and follow the link from below to download the updated version of the game.
