• Added a very faint sound when tools break, as well as a sound when flint and steel is used.
• Tapping and holding flint and steel on a creeper will cause the creeper to start explosion countdown.
• The splash now changes every time a world is quit, fixing MCPE-4926.
• Added support for commands, however no commands have been implemented yet.
• Added chiseled quartz block to survival mode.
• The moon now has different phases.

Changes

General

• Clouds are now slightly darker, to correspond to the cloud color in Java Edition.
• The orbit size of the sun and moon around the player has been increased, fixing a sun and moon size problem, as well as the sun appearing in front of the clouds.
• After eating food, a burp can be heard.
• Eggs can be thrown rapidly if the player keeps on tapping and holding the screen in both creative and survival.
• Each message displayed by the server now has a tag (e.g. 'Disconnected from server' now reads '<error> Disconnected from server').
