Mojang founder Markus Persson has confirmed that his company’s hit title Minecraft is coming to iOS devices like iPhone and iPad. The port will be handled by recent hire Aron Neiminen.

The iOS edition of Minecraft will not receive every update to the game (which is technically still in beta), just the features that complement touch-screen controls, according to Persson. An Android version of the game is also reportedly in the works for release later in 2011.
