I asked Microsoft about the latter and was told an update due by the end of this month should bring the Switch version more or less up to par.īut in every other meaningful way, this is what I’ve been wanting from Minecraft for years.

Minecraft for Switch also currently lags behind its console peers, lacking recently added features like “Amplified” terrain, or the “Glide” mini game.

Like language selection (the PS4 and Xbox One versions support more than a dozen others, the Switch version only supports English), game chat during online play (the Switch doesn’t yet support voice chat), viewing Leaderboards or inviting friends (you can see other friends’ sessions and join those, but can’t manually wave them over to yours). Though it includes the colorful Super Mario-themed world previously exclusive to the Wii U version, it’s missing a few features that I assume will appear down the pike. Like all of the console versions, which are developed and maintained by Scottish independent 4J Studios and not Mojang, it can’t interact with the Java or C++ versions that currently colonize PCs, smartphones and tablets (and that Mojang’s Jens Bergensten told TIME last November 2016 the C++ version “will eventually be the main engine and also the main game version”).

It offers world sizes up to “medium,” or 3,072-by-3,072 blocks, a massive upgrade from the Wii U’s 864-by-864 “classic” perimeter, but notably shy of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One’s 5,120-by-5,120 “large” world frontiers. The console versions have the opposite problem: perfect controls tethered to television boat anchors.Įnter Minecraft for Switch, which to be fair isn’t the utmost version in all dimensions. What makes Minecraft for smartphones and tablets so compelling is convenience. It’s the baked-in shortcoming of any 3D first-person 360-degree control scheme yet devised for a multitouch device that lacks discrete buttons and control sticks. This has nothing to do with Mojang or Minecraft. At the risk of offending tablet apologists, Minecraft on smartphones and tablets is a wonderful experience marred by poor controls. The significance of there now being a continuous TV-mobile version of Minecraft can’t be overstated. Pluck it from its cradle and it’s in your hands, the experience undifferentiated save for its shift to the Switch’s smaller 6.2-inch screen. Drop it in its dock and Minecraft is on your TV, where it’s all but analogous to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. The Switch, you’re probably tiring of hearing (especially if you’re still trying to find one), goes wherever you do.
