'Minecraft' on mobile to get mods and command blocks

Microsoft has also confirmed that mods will be coming to the mobile, Windows 10 and console games. It should provide feature parity -- more so than before, at least -- to each platform and open up its advanced tools to a broader group of players. That's important as Microsoft pushes into the classroom. The company is working on an Education Edition, based on MinecraftEdu, that'll be out later this summer. Some schools will use it to teach coding, so it makes sense to offer command blocks in the regular versions of Minecraft, where students can then practice at home.
