Minecraft is ever so close to official release, with just two days remaining for those of us that are excited to get our hands on the final product. In celebration of the full game finally hitting stores and digital download services, Mojang is pushing the iOS version of the game live starting tomorrow. If you have an iOS device, this marks a fun opportunity to work on your mine or build up your fortress while you’re sitting on the train or waiting for a movie to start.

Android gamers have been enjoying Minecraft since October, but iPad and iPhone owners have unfortunately been left out in the cold until just now in terms of exciting new iOS games. Those of us that use iOS devices have had to stick with Scribblenauts and Fruit Ninja, which, admittedly, aren’t terrible selections. But, no more!

The mobile version of Minecraft, titled Minecraft: Pocket Edition is a simplified version of the full PC title. You’ll still load into randomly generated worlds, and you’ll still be able to build things out of a variety of blocks. What would really be nice is if you could access your normal Minecraft world on your tablet or phone, making some quick progress when you have a short break during the day. Sadly, that feature is nowhere to be found.

Minecraft hits the iTunes store tomorrow and will likely be priced around $5-10. Are you going to pick it up, or are you waiting for the PC release?
