v2.0 - Raw Iron Update
The name Raw Iron was chosen because of the significance of this release, as iron is an essential element to progress further in Minecraft. This release is a little rough around the edges, and we hope to push out 2.1 soon with bug fixes and more tuning!

A note for old iDevices
- If your device has only 1GB RAM (total), it might able to boot Minecraft to main screen, but might not able to join worlds or servers due to too little RAM. Higher RAM can be set (using the Java arguments preference and overb0ard), but you may need to close all apps and remove some tweaks in order to free up enough.
