In this update, there are more stuff to play with, baby animals, a nice blue sky with clouds, a better D-Pad and many tweaks and bug fixes bumping the version number up to 0.6.x. Below is the full change log.

• Falling sand and gravel
• Stonecutter bench to craft more stone and sand items

Tweaks:

• Cows drop Leather

Bug fixes:

• Melons had several bugs where they would spawn too fast and where they shouldn’t.

• Crash bugs: multiplayer chests and Sign input

• Half slabs could get stuck in "upper" position
• Xperia Play controls

In this update, I've noticed a better and a more improved D-Pad, which allows the player to more around more easily. The sky also has more of a natural blue colour, with clouds that also move. In addition, the gameplay seems generally smoother, with less lag. The fancy graphics mode looks great with the new sky and clouds. The viewing distances have not changed and neither has the world size. The Android OS version requirements have changed from 2.1 to 2.3 so you need at least Gingerbread to play this game with the new update. Sorry to those of you who are running Eclair or Froyo.
