the Super Duper Graphics pack is coming to Switch

Agreed, but obviously, the larger the world, the larger the potential file size. I mean, what are they going to do if you run out of space? Make the world read-only?
They are not limiting it for arbitrary reasons. As to your point about an iPad potentially having less storage than Switch - yes, that's true. But Apple do not place restrictions on the amount of storage a single app can consume.
With the announcement specifying infinite world sizes, the possibilities I see are:
1) Not on Switch
2) They got Nintendo to relax the restrictions on storage (maybe a waiver)
3) They are dependent on an upcoming OS update to allow storage on SD card
4) Nintendo actually don't have a restriction, but they didn't bother with infinite worlds already because they knew the update was coming
5) As someone suggested earlier, infinite worlds could be online-only and streamed to the Switch. No need to store locally.
There could be others I haven't thought of.
How does it work on Ios/android ?
Dunno - fair point. But there they don't have the same level of scrutiny from the platform holders, so they can probably just do what they like.
That's weird. Are you sure it's not mob griefing? e.g. Creepers exploding or Endermen shuffling stuff around.
I can't tell. But huge parts of blocks are missing and I'm falling into pits and caves that never existed before.

Are those caves sand or gravel, they fall down when one block is removed. If not it can only be creepers or endermen
Yes, observer blocks added in the latest update. And command block support will most likely be added to the console versions when the bedrock codebase support is available.
According to reviews, inventory management didn't have touchscreen support in the release version in May, only crafting:

Any news on the physical edition for switch yet?

Yeah I'd like to know this as well. With no news whatsoever on Stardew Valley I really need something on the Switch where I can just chill out.
No solid facts, but I think it's reasonable to guess that the physical edition arrives prior to the holidays, specially if the bedrock codebase has been implemented by that time.

My kid would get semi-frequent hardlocks with Minecraft on the Wii U - is there any sort of problem like that with the switch version? It would happen with the lego games too, so maybe more of a Wii U end problem than the game.
I agree with the Wii U version and frequent hard freezes (although some early game updates actually seemed free from freezes, later ones that we played froze pretty bad).
The Switch version of Minecraft runs without any such issues! Very solid version IMO, and really good updates so far.

That's what I was thinking, but I'm hoping for a quicker physical release date.
Xbox One is getting a new physical version this fall for the new Bedrock Engine version. That's almost certainly what Switch will be getting.

Thanks very much for that (and for parsing through my typos haha) - that's great to hear!
Why only two maps though? I love that mode!

Does this version get the latest patches?

The latest console patches, yes. And pretty soon it will be updated to enable cross-play with PC and Xbox One, so it will be a requirement that it does, even.
Docked mode now renders at 1080p as of the latest update:

Awesome. I am loving the game on Switch. Taking it on the commute has rekindled my passion die MC.

First time minecrafter.
I've built a small house and have a fence with some animals and a small crop.
What do I do now in survival mode?

My recommendation? Fishing.
Craft yourself a rod, find a pond, and fish. It sounds silly, but the reason is you will be fishing up some amazing things. For example, books like this:
Once you have a Mending book, make a mine and dig down to around layer 10. Then strip-mine and find diamonds. Use those diamonds to make a mining pick, then apply the Mending enchant to it using an anvil. You'll be set for life.
But seriously, I cannot stress how good fishing is. I've found bows from there with loads of enchants on, a whole swathe of different enchanting books, and you get a boatload of exp.
Work your way up to having a rod that has Lure 3, Luck of the Sea, and Mending on.
And a new track added for Glide!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I think my kids will be most hyped for this. Lol

Posted this in the wrong thread!
Still debating whether I should go physical or digital for Minecraft on the Switch. It would be my first time playing Minecraft of any kind since the original beta days on the computer.

It's not actually out yet.
Plus you can build a semi-AFK fishing machine for really cheap, even one that spits more fishing rods into your hands as you AFK
It looks like the patch went live.
Edit:
Before:
After:
Saved in the same location anticipating the update today. I'm not sure why the image is at a slightly different angle (maybe the resolution bump slightly tweaked the FOV?)
It's the native capture function on the Switch but you can see Lakitu's cloud in the background is sharper than before.
Edit 2:
It's worth noting that the draw distance hasn't changed in either handheld or docked mode. The framerate feels like it's still at 60fps without any drops flying around the Mario themed map. It'll be interesting to see what Digital Foundry finds out if/when they do another analysis.

Hey guys, french GAFfer here. Got the game but have zero of my budies to play with.
Looking for a Minecraft companion, could use Discord. I'm very sympa !

Fixed it by removing the memory card and re-downloading to system memory.
This sounds interesting, What qualifies as a pond you can fish? What do you mean you'll be set for life?
You don't need many blocks of water to fish.

Just a couple of blocks of water is enough. In my pic, you can see I am just fishing in the town square's fountain that I made.
By set for life, I mean that once you have made that pick with rare materials, the Mending should help to stop it ever breaking. As long as you earn experience with it equipped, such as finding ore, it will heal itself.
I can't see the photo =(
Did you use imgur? If so that is most likely why. Care to rehost? On abload.de maybe? I don't see the link in quote either.

I linked to a pic I put on Twitter, cos that's where our bloody Switch images go now, annoyingly. Miiverse was happy to display images on this forum, but not Twitter, nooo. Thanks Nintendo.
It's not much anyway, just this:

Oh man I really need to play non-modded MC. Seems more hardcore.
Will the switch and W10 version be cross save?

As long as you play on Realms. If you play locally, that save will be locked to the machine you play on, but using a Realm you can play it from any device in the Better Together update.
