Behold the Shrunken Glory of MineCraft Running on an Android Phone

We've all seen the picture, now let's drool over how well MineCraft Pocket Edition runs on the Xperia Play.

Making its big debut at E3 2011 early next month, MineCraft Pocket Edition is the portable block building game you've all been waiting for. Shown here running on Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play, this tiny version of the indie darling will be showing up on Android first, with an iPhone version following after.

Of course it won't be quite this fast, but it still looks rather smooth, doesn't it? And it looks like whoever is playing in this vid is having no problem crafting complicated structures with the limited controls.
