How do I throw blocks in Minecraft PE?

Community Answer

Tap the block you want to throw. Then, wait until there's a green bar going to the top of the slot. Once it's at the top, the block will throw itself.

Question

How do you turn the game to peaceful mode?

Community Answer

In the updated Minecraft PE, go to Options. Where it says Difficulty, and you can see a slider on the right side, slide the slider all the way to the left. That will take you into peaceful mode.

Question

How do you travel to cities?

Nicolas

Community Answer

There aren't "cities" in Minecraft PE, unless you're referring to cities created by other players. In that case, ask your friends where the cities are, and fly to them.

Question

How do I drop things in survival and creative mode?

Community Answer

To drop things in survival mode, all you need to do is hold down the item at the bottom of your screen, and it should go out. In creative mode, you can replace your item with a different item. You can also drop it the same way as you would in survival mode.

Question

Is it possible for me to name all mobs?

Emma Erasmus

Community Answer

Yes, as long as you have patience, name tags, and stacks of anvils! It will take a while, and if you are not playing in peaceful, the mobs will kill the animals you've already named and new ones will spawn.
