Minecraft Explorer, also known as Minecraft Explorer Pro[2][3][4], Minecraft Explorer Pro HD[5][6], and Minecraft Explorer Lite[7][8], is a app for iOS developed by 57Digital which was initially released in April 12, 2011 as an Lite version. It served as an official companion guide for the user,[9] allowing to look up hundreds of item recipes, search for items by name, check mobs, and overall had a similar function to the Minecraft Wiki.

Although the app can still be purchased and downloaded, it lacks features and items from other updates, such as the Better Together Update, Update Aquatic, Texture Update, and hasn't been updated ever since.
