Minecraft Raspberry Pi Edition LogoThe legendary $25 micro computer Raspberry Pi has another feather in its cap, . One of the most talked about geek games of recent times, Minecraft is now available for free to download in Raspberry Pi app store which is called Pi Store. Minecraft for Raspberry Pi was announced back in December when it was available for free in beta version but it was never mentioned that it will be free even in the final version.

Liz Upton of Raspberry Pi today announced the arrival of Minecraft on Raspberry Pi official blog and thanked Mojang, the creator of Minecraft, for their effort:

Thanks to all at Mojang for all the work you’ve done on this, and greetings to those of you who are coming to the Raspberry Pi platform to play this new edition – we’re really happy to be able to welcome all you Minecrafters to the Pi family!

Earlier, Owen wrote on the official Mojang blog:

You might remember us mentioning Minecraft: Pi Edition a few months ago. It’s a free version of Minecraft that will run on the Raspberry Pi – a credit card-sized computer that can help you learn to program in an accessible, fun way. They’re cheap and relatively easy to set up.

So if you for any reason thought that Raspberry Pi sucks, you have one more positive point to buy Raspberry Pi, especially when it has announced free RAM upgrade on all Raspberry Pi.
