Minecraft PE mods
How can I find a safe Mod for Minecraft PE to add furniture into their worlds? Apparently there are lots around that are just viruses in disguise, how do I know what's safe?

Solution to game costs
So since games these days cost about £50 per game, why not rent them instead? Besides, what’s the difference? Games are played non stop for a month and then sit in a drawer forever.
