This page describes an edition of the game that has been officially discontinued.

This version of Minecraft is no longer updated.

Minecraft: Pi Edition is a version of Minecraft developed for the Raspberry Pi.

Pi Edition is intended as an educational tool for novice programmers. Although officially discontinued, it is still available to download for free, from the official downloads page, and users are encouraged to interact with the game using an API.^[3]

It was developed by Aron Nieminen and Daniel Frisk.

Pi Edition never received any subsequent updates and is no longer updated.

Development[edit]

Release[edit]

Minecraft: Pi Edition was originally announced on the Mojang website on November 24, ^[4] There was a compiled build labeled on the Mojang repository, albeit encrypted until the game's launch in February , making it inaccessible. When it was first uploaded, however, it was unprotected for a short amount of time, allowing for the download of the game before its true release. On December 20, , Mojang released a post on their official site announcing the release of Pi Edition. However, it was promptly removed and no game release was made.

Minecraft: Pi Edition was publicly released on February 11, , as version , and the previous release announcement post was restored.^[2] However, the Pi Edition website still lists its post date as December 20,

Addition to Raspbian[edit]

On September 15, , the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced that Minecraft: Pi Edition would be installed by default with their new versions of the Raspbian operating system.^[5]

Discontinuation[edit]

Pi Edition never received any subsequent updates, and its developers gave no further insights as to whether they were still developing the version. When brought up to Tommaso Checchi on Reddit on January 25, , he stated the following:

Gameplay[edit]

Pi Edition was very similar to Bedrock Edition in many ways. Like older versions of Bedrock Edition, (then called Pocket Edition) only &#;&#;block Old worlds could be generated. The player's skin is always the default "Steve" skin. The title and the world selection screens were identical until Pocket Edition updated to Pocket Edition v alpha.

The player has the ability to sneak, but cannot sprint. Mobs do not spawn, even though the player starts with an iron sword in the hotbar. A bow is also available, but when used, the player will hold the bow back indefinitely until the player selects another item or logs off.

Pi Edition includes all blocks from Pocket Edition v alpha. The only gamemode is Creative and there is no crafting or smelting.
