Minecraft Pocket Edition is the mobile version of the video game you and the kids love to play: Minecraft. Originally developed by Notch and Mojang to give gamers using Xperia on Google Play the ability to enjoy the most popular PC game in history, the pocket edition has grown to include players using iOS and Android devices, Amazon Fire TV, and now Windows Phone.

But one of the things people search for the most when playing either Minecraft or Minecraft PE is mods. Mods make the digital world go 'round when we've either exhausted our in-game options or just want to experience the game in a different way.

Installing mods is easy, though. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do it. In fact, let's talk about that a little bit right now:

How to Install Mods in Minecraft PE

I downloaded, installed and played all these mods for Minecraft PE on my Samsung Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6 Plus. And they worked well on both.

If You're Using an iOS Phone ...

You'll need Jailbreak on your iOS mobile device to install Minecraft mods. This program allows hardware restrictions on your mobile device to be temporarily changed so it can download software.

Once you have this, you can download BlockLauncher on your mobile device. BlockLauncher is a custom launcher that provides loading of patches, texture packs, and server IPs.

You need BlockLauncher to install Minecraft PE mods on both Android and iOS mobile devices. Now decide which mods you want to try and just download and install.

If You're Using an Android Phone

Once you have BlockLauncher on your Android phone, you're ready to download and install Minecraft PE mods. Read this guide on 'How to Install Minecraft PE Mods' for details.

But be aware! Successfully downloading, installing, and playing Minecraft PE depends on your device and its operating system. You may need to do more research to play this video game on your device.

We hope they help you enjoy playing Minecraft on your mobile device. Now, let's get to the actual mods themselves.

Magic Wand Version 2.0 Mod

This Minecraft PE edition mod will allow you to spawn 64 diamonds just by tapping a stick against any block. It does need support for ModPE scripts, like the kind provided by Block Launcher.

The creator of this mod says if you type /wand, you get a stick, and God will chat with you in messages. This didn't work for me, but my nephew claims it has worked for some of his Minecraft buddies.
