Mojang is pleased to announce a new version of Minecraft – Pocket Edition for iDevice owners with a new crafting interface, new animals, damageable items, and more.

Minecraft – Pocket Edition version 0.3.0 is a major new update that focuses on crafting, according to Mojang. Specifically, there’s a new crafting UI reachable from [...]Inventory -> [Craft]. The updated game includes cows and chickens now, as well as damageable items. Players can now drop items from their selection slots by pressing and holding. Last, but not least, some resources can only be gathered with specific tools now. Players are encouraged to see the crafting descriptions at large.
