It's here. After the release of the pocket edition of Minecraft for Android and Apple mobile devices, the full version game of Notch's Minecraft is now available. For those of you who have already been playing Minecraft for months, all you have to do is log in and update your client. Stay tuned for more updates as the convention continues through tomorrow.

Minecraft comes to iPhone!

According to the description, the game will allow players to "move beyond the limits of your computer and play Minecraft everywhere you go." Gameplay is limited to Creative Mode (no Survival Mode) and features randomized worlds with 36 different kinds of blocks for building. Players will be able to invite friends to visit their world via local Wi-Fi, and multiplayer worlds can be saved to your device.

The release date isn't confirmed for other territories, but it's likely to be the same since MineCon begins on Friday in Las Vegas.
