Note- This is all freeware, for iOS, there are better IRC apps, but these aren't cheap, so I'm going freeware.
This one is a little more complicated.
Step 1: In the App Store, search for the app "Mango Lite," download it. Depending on your region, you may get an alert saying that the contect is for 17+, ignore that, it's only because it's a chatroom.
Step 2: Open up the app, tap on the top left "Add.."
Step 3: Fill out the information as described below:
Server- irc.escapecraft.net
Port- 31337
Nickname, Username, Real Name- Fill them out accordingly, make sure they're all somewhat different.
Passwrd- Leave blank.
Autojoin- One you fill in channel, you should see "#mine" here.
Channel- type in #mine, the press the "+" button next to it, and it should pup in in Autojoin.
Key- leave blank.
Go up to the top, and tap save.
Step 4: Tap the white circle next to "irc.escapecraft.net", then tap "Connect" on the top right corner.
Step 5: You should now be connected, to disconnect, tap on the top right hand corner, options>disconnect. After exiting the program, double tap the home button to kill it.
*WARNING*- Watch your spelling, this one doesn't have spellcheck, or auto-caps. If you're a spelling freak like me, this might be a pain, but at least it works.
