Yup, that’s right folks — just like the computer version of Minecraft, even Minecraft – Pocket Edition has the ability to install custom texture packs as well.

Continuing on though, read on below for the full how to guide and all the information you need.

1. Downl0ad iExplorer.
2. Connect your iOS device to your computer.
• Minecraft – Pocket Edition must be installed (of course)!
3. Open up iExplorer.

5. Drag and drop the iOS specific texture pack files into the folder.

A lot can happen in two months — like take a look at Minecraft – Pocket Edition which raked in over 700,000 downloads in a mere two months. Minecraft – Pocket Edition first started out on Android devices, then the developers ported it over to iOS devices for a hefty $6.99.
