Mods or Add ons
Will they be releasing any Mods as Add ons cause there are some mods I would love to have –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.211.109.98 (Talk) 17:16, 11 June 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

EDIT: The difference between the 360 version and the PC version is that the PC version was originally programmed in Javascript and the 360 version was programmed in C++ and C#. All the modders on the PC programmed their mods in Javascript. Asking the mod developers to make a version for Xbox would be like asking them to rewrite a novel the length of, say, 2000 pages (exaggeration) from English to Mandarin. While it is possible, it's a tedious hassle that most developers would rather not do. If any of you dare say that mod developer's are lazy, try programming a massive amounts of mods in Javascript, see how much of a hassle it is already, then attempt to rewrite it in C++ and C#. See how frustrating it is. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.165.131.114 (Talk) 08:42, 17 September 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Minecraft on the PC is written in Java, not Javascript. Javascript is an interpreted language, with no JS interpreter currently fast enough to do something like Minecraft at anywhere near its performance level; Java is a compiled language (well, tokenized; Java actually compiles to platform-independent bytecode, but this isn't an important distinction in this situation). Ignoring that, though, the language isn't the barrier preventing mod authors from targeting the Xbox version, the console itself is: the platform has no mechanism allowing for anything remotely like mods, without first modifying the hardware itself (and voiding your warranty in the process). So any mod author looking to target the Xbox would be better off turning their mod into a game and attempting to get it into the XBLA as a separate title. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:38, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Mistake?
There is no Minecraft Beta 1.8.2. There is only Minecraft Beta 1.8.1. Plus, why is "Creative Mode" with the version number? It should be placed somewhere else. 99.162.49.104 20:13, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Edit - yes is this a mistake also if this was 1.8.2 wouldn't that mean it should also include the adventure update in this, considering adventure update came out in 1.8 –Preceding unsigned comment was added by PeachyOmnivore (Talk&#124;Contribs) 10:17, 15 June 2012‎ (UTC).

 * Whut? 99.162.49.104 18:14, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * i personally think minecraft xbox 360 should never be compared in updates with the pc version, they run on a different engine, its not a mistake68.119.170.213 05:29, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

what are the most important updates to you?
It's going to take a while for every update to come, so sudjest which ones should come first to help guide mojang and 4j. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Noobly (Talk&#124;Contribs) 20:59, 14 June 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Xbox 360 Edition updates and bugs
Can someone please tell me when creative mode is coming to xbox and me and my friends are having problems with trees not growing when planted...help please... –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Xxxtdog49xxx (Talk&#124;Contribs) 01:15, 20 June 2012. Please sign your posts with


 * Trees grow 3 block spaces away from each other. Also you may want to use bone meal which is found by collecting 1 bone from skeleton and to make bone meal you simply go to the where you find dye and scroll down and there you go. 1 bone is equivolant to 3 bone meal. To use it simply use the key/ button that you would press as if you were going to place a block down. Trees cannot grow if there is block above it. Creative mode will come out during August ~ September, this update also includes Endermen. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Hellhounder14 2 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 19:36, 2 July 2012.

Skin DLC
I found a wiki on IGN saying that 1.7 will have skin DLC: http://www.ign.com/wikis/minecraft/Xbox_360_Updates?objectid=0 I just wanted to verify that this was correct so we could add it in the article.--Bluswimmer 13:51, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Xbox edition idea
Hey I have an idea for the adventure update for Xbox Edition. If you put a food bar and sprinting, why not have the button for sprinting double tap and hold the left trigger? 69.77.199.93 16:35, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Minecraft Xbox 360 Fileshare?

Either the return of servers or plaing with people who arent your friends
Minecraft needs more online capablilties. Dont just cage us to only play with our friends. Put servers or the ability to host a game and players can join according to settings which are:Invite only,Friends only,Open. So if youve played Castleminer you would know what im talking about. But basically there will be a list of all the hosted games and you can join or create a game. Also make options like Build permissions,kick,ban and so on Playing minecraft alone is boring and your friends are not always online so this is what minecraft needs 68.119.170.213 05:43, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Btw, the location of the tilde depends on your keyboard layout. Apparently you must have a European keyboard layout because the tilde is almost always located with the grave mark above the Tab key and next to the 1 key. --M0rphzone 21:20, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * well i know there gonna update it all the way to the pc version but the question still remains that will the return of servers come back? Im mean seriosuly my frends arent always online, let alone do i only play minecraft when their on. 68.119.170.213 03:26, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Update
I heard that when the 1.8.2 update comes out that all of our previously saved worlds will be erased to integrate the change is this true? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.117.110.81 (Talk) 03:18, 16 August 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * i believe this is just a untrue rumour most likely created by the people who say things like creative mode will cost money so it is most likely not true 94.93.4.42 13:17, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

This is untrue, It's been stated that since Minecraft loads the worlds by chunks if they update and there is a unexplored chunk they could change what was there. So say you have explored the entire map then the map you are on wouldn't be able to load any of the new content but the unexplored areas should generate something new.

1.8 Features
Will they put all features from PC 1.8 on Xbox? This is of great interest to me also with the fact what button for sprint will they use. I think X would be good and move crafting with inventory.


 * all 1.8 features will be added along with some 1.9 and the superflat world type will be added next update also the crafting interface has to be its own menu but they could make X sprint and change the crafting to be X while your in the inventory 94.93.4.42 14:29, 22 August 2012 (UTC)


 * No offense but having the sprint ability on X is kinda dumb because it limits your ability to turn while sprinting. You only got 2 thumbs, so like i said in one o these tppics the best control to sprint is like the one in cod where u hold down the left analog stick and push it foward 24.196.254.21 02:16, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * now they are saying it'll be what you said(the dpad is now third person)or double flicking the stick like double tapping w on the pc version 2.222.141.42 15:35, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Updates above 1.2.3?
Hey there. I was recently waiting for the 1.8 Adventure Update and followed the Reference at the bottom to the page to 4J's Twitter feed. It said that they would be updating the game from 1.7.3, 1.8.2 and then to 1.2.3. My question is does anyone know whether there will be more updates after 1.2.3 or not (seeing as it was the last update stated on the page)? Thanks for the help. 84.13.124.172 21:54, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Xp not to be added
since it isn't a feature it can't be added to the main page but Xp will not be added until enchanting is so Xp won't be in the next update(if read after the update i'm saying it was the 1.8 update) 2.219.202.231 15:06, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Concerns of 1.8
Hey I'm a minecrafter and i have a lot of stuff within my map and I'm concern if we will need to create a new map for the 1.8 update in order to receive the contents of the update? --Hunter 1 04:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Hunter_1


 * I was under the impression that when you update, it will expand the world, and the new chunks will have the new features. (Strongholds, jungles, ect..) 184.1.103.140 17:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * no as with the PC version worlds created before a new update will not be changed but sometimes the game recodes biomes one example was in 1.9 snow biomes would overide some biomes and cause it to snow but everything will be the same.so in short to gain the new features you'll have to use creative(not recommended since it disables achievements and leaderboard stats)or you have to make a new world hope this clears anything up 2.223.33.198 00:07, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Breeding in 1.8 Update
Why does it list breeding when the citation doesn't mention breeding being added whatsoever? Garz 18:36, 15 September 2012 (UTC)


 * i say its because people see things with lots of animals in one place or lots of meat and they say"oh they must have bred the animals to get that much stuff"when there forgetting about creative and they are the developers they can just spawn them 2.222.141.42 15:32, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * it was announced four months ago so yes 2.216.109.241 23:32, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

About the 1.2.3 update
Can we just assume that particular update will be out sometime in 2013? I mean, the game came out in May and it's taken a while it get to 1.8. 92.22.16.127 21:17, 18 September 2012 (UTC)


 * 1.9-1.2.3 wasn't that much change compared to 1.8 where basically minecraft changed completely and 1.7.3 wasn't rushed out due to them fixing bugs and creating the skin packs so that is why that update took so long so at the moment we can't confirm if it will 2.222.141.42 15:29, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

apples dropping from trees
i was watching the video by 4J showing the new foods and the apple that was gotten was from a decayed leaf so can someone add this info to the update list since it was a 1.1 feature not a 1.8.1 one 90.192.125.30 15:04, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * i also noticed that items can be shift clicked(using that for a lack of a better word)into furnaces 90.192.125.30 15:16, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Any reason updating to 1.3.2 after 1.2.3?
You know what? Minecraft 1.3.1 is my favorite Minecraft update, hell, it has been that epic! I've thought about 4J updating Minecraft XBOX 360 Edition to 1.3.2, is there any reasons? Plus, I think that the pick block button is a substitute for the back button. Still, this update may be hard is 4J ever get to it. Do you want this update? If not, then just tell me why, and I have to stick with 1.2.3. (sigh) 99.172.128.165 12:13, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

you know you can't not update unless you play offline and they are most likely going to update to 1.3 in about 2-6 months and remember the xbox edition came out in may and its almost on 1.8 compared to the pc version this is good progress so in short its most likely going to come to the xbox version and it isn't that far away90.195.151.158 17:09, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Are you serious about updating? 99.172.128.165 17:24, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Enchanting tables in minecraft Xbox 360
There is no enchanting tabes in minecraft Xbox 360. They are only in the pc version and it is some-what unfair to not give people the ability make there tools and weapons better to make whatever they want. In the new update I wish this is what hey would also put in as well. If you want to see this happen come be with me and help me get them to be able to enchant weapons and tools.

Why is everyones mineset like this? They cant just copy and paste the code from minecraft pc to xbox ad run it and say ohh, it works! NOO, to add such a feature it takes time and lots of tests and bug fixing. Im pretty sure 4jstuidos is trying to work as fast as they can, cut the some slack and let them rest24.176.130.172 02:25, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

you do know enchanting wasn't in this update?90.195.151.158 23:45, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Ok someone keeps saying that it is going to be released on the 28 and saying its confirmed, then its TBA, then its Halloween, make up your mind, seriously 76.178.130.226 02:31, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

I know right!?!?!?! Some idiots just can't keep their hands off of the release date. I've been following this page for over four months, and the release date has probably changed 30 times! It gets SO annoying! 184.1.103.140 02:38, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
