Subject: Minecraft X360 Update Release date!

Dude What.

That's right, MCX360 is getting updated very soon! How soon? December 19th, 2012! The latest update will bring the XBLA sandbox game nearly up to speed with the 1.0 release of PC Minecraft, including a ton of new features.

Animal Breeding
Brewing
Experience Points
Enchanting
Mushroom Biome
Nether Fortresses
Skin animations

This is only scratching the surface of all the updates coming on the 19th, and let's not forget about all the awesome new avatars, coming soon!

It seems that every version of Minecraft is going through a series of very exciting changes as we approach the end of 2012. PC Minecraft is edging ever-closer to the Modding API, Pocket Edition adds more blocks, tools, monsters, and features with every iteration, and MCX360 is rapidly closing the gap between itself and PC Minecraft, while adding some special goodies unique to itself.

Don't forget - when MCX360 updates, it will prompt you to patch the game. Once it does, you are good to go! Stay tuned as we bring you more exciting updates! Check out all the update details by clicking here!

Nearly up to speed... why not just play the PC version if you like Minecraft? Most people have computers nowadays...

I do. I've just posted this to let people that play on the Xbox know when they're getting updates. :p

  • 12.18.2012 2:01 AM PDT

Hooray.

No End though. Sigh.

  • 12.18.2012 2:05 AM PDT

Honestly it isn't closing the gap at all for the most part the Xbox version is still a year behind the PC version. Also I noticed they didn't mention anything about increasing world size so it really isn't much of an update.

Yeah. They said a few days ago that they were putting The End in the next update. Probably 2013. :(

This really needs to be done. Even if it was just a 100 more blocks in each direction would be nice.

Honestly I am more concerned about people even being able to find a nether fortress.

I'd be so excited if I wasn't burnt out on minecraft

Theyre easy enough to find on the pc, they would be much easier on the xbox seeing as how the maps much smaller.

Question: Do people on the xbox actually reach the end of the world? If so, how much area, mapwise, does the whole world take? 5 or so maps of area?

Unless they have it where it is required to spawn within the small space in the nether it would be unlikely to find one. Rarely have I ever seen one spawn near 0,0 in the nether. Even if one does spawn that close it has a good chance of being cut off. As for the size of the worlds it is at most 1000x1000, but last time someone told me it was around 800x800. Either way that makes the nether very small.

What 4J should do is use portals to connect to other maps within the same game. For example, you go to the northern portal and it will create a new world the same size as the main one. You want to go back to the main map go back through the portal.

God I am bad at explaining stuff.

Yep 1000x1000 is very small hence why I said it wasn't much of an update since they didn't increase world size.

That would be a good idea considering people already do similar things on the PC version. As for whether they will do something like that it is unlikely.

Fortresses? Please, good luck finding a Mushroom Biome.

Lol yeah that too, but there are some seeds with them close or at 0,0.

  • 12.18.2012 11:17 AM PDT

It's great to see that these guys are trying to make the Xbox version worth it, and I think it definitely is.

Link or it didn't happen.

I think they should make a new map type (possibly exclusive to console) where most (if not all) of the rare things like dungeons, nether fortresses, and maybe even mushroom biomes would spawn on the single map.
