Its in the new update
When would Minecraft Pocket Edition 12.1 going to be out
Not yet though i think notch is going to add it soon
Minecraft WAS going to be on the 3DS but they didn't but they made an app called Minecraft Pocket Edition for phones.
Minecraft is a sandbox game that many people got attracted to during 2011-2012. Pocket Edition of Minecraft has its own advantages and disadvantages, like EVERY game in the world. Pocket Edition allows you take pictures and vanilla Minecraft doesn't have a camera at all. Pocket Edition, however, only allows you to carry 5 items on hand and vanilla Minecraft allows up to 9-10 items (I don't remember the EXACT number). It is up to you now to buy it or not.
i dont now if there is going to be that kind of stuff in the next update
There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the upcoming Minecraft - Pocket Edition updates, and with the promise of Survival being added to the hand-held port, players have been anxious to enhance their portable experience. Now, the wait for an update is drawing to a close - Carl tweeted only minutes agothat the Pocket Edition updates will be released as early as tonight! The Android version will likely see the update first, with other platforms following suit in the near future. -Posted on February 10, 2012

Never
This was actually going to be planned for Minecraft in the coding, but this was never added to the official release of Minecraft, so we got to say the first update of Minecraft.
Nothing has been confirmed about the next 1.11 update to Minecraft. It will be revealed at Minecon in September.
