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

They should make a DLC with some of the more popular mods –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.159.148.163 (Talk) 14:48, 1 September 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)

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


 * edit - I think breeding, vilagers, sheers, and sprinting should be in the next update, those are probably the most important ideas –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.179.21.254 (Talk) 00:32, 12 July 2012. Please sign your posts with

Oh god.
Now look at what Trilobiterness has done! He has completely removed the 1.7.3 update section! Can someone ever revert that freaking edit? Trilobiterness, now apologize, because we aren't skipping versions, only the x.x.y ones! Btw, give references. 99.162.49.104 10:29, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

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.

EDIT September or August, the official date is still a mystery. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.183.99.243 (Talk) 19:15, 2 July 2012. Please sign your posts with

Edit- I found in this update that a tree will grow in a 13 by 13 space that is 6 blocks high. But I don't know about how far apart each tree needs to be.(99.130.173.235 19:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC))

Edit - You can grow trees with only one block in between placement. However, if the trees are underground, you will need a light source. I've found that glowstones around the base work quite nicely. Occasionally, you will have to remove leaves from surrounding trees to get a new sapling to grow if the leaves are within two blocks (upward) of the sapling.

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?
Hi does anybody have any idea if Mojang and 4J will add a sort of Fileshare after they add in creative mode for custom maps such as skyboock on the PC? I think it would be pretty good thing.

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)


 * this will most likely be added with future updates2.127.99.38 11:59, 11 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)


 * like i said 4J said they are planning to add it in future updates but it is not confirmed when also the signature thing is meant for the end of your comment not the start 94.93.4.42 10:23, 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.


 * )i belive that the update is comming out on tuesday 9th october because it went into cert test on the 4th so ithats what i think ...................................#mcxbla

Yeah, when I updated my minecraft last time my tutorial worlds were still old because they were saved BEFORE the update. So no worrys. Zeeman 04:08, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

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)

pc to xbox

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)


 * there will be it's just when that was posted that was the latest version 2.223.122.167 21:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Xbox 1.8 Still Weeks Away
Dang... Still weeks away. https://twitter.com/4JStudios/status/243016240803762176 AJ Ferguson 17:00, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

That tweet was weeks ago. And still no word if the update is in cert yet from 4jstuios. 174.255.125.211 15:20, 29 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)

more info
can someone add between 1.8.2 and 1.2.3 'unknown update'since 4J said they will add a update between to keep people occupied i can't because the page is locked 2.222.121.126 22:55, 9 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)


 * Well, it's confirmed now that there's no breeding. That's why I removed it from the page.

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)

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)

well i have to to play online90.195.151.158 23:45, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Get a Gold account. Easy as pie. 99.172.133.84 23:10, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

you don't get it you can not play online on xbox without updating and i'm saying when they come out with 1.3 i have to update to the newest version of the game and also i have always had gold and its not relevent2.220.106.211 21:36, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Why? It should be relevant! 99.172.133.84 20:25, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

You cannot play online without an update prompt. However, you /can/ revert to the earliest released version by going offline, clearing your hard drive cache and relaunching. Not exactly stable and your pistons will disappear, but that's about your only option as far as time-traveling versions at the moment. It goes without saying you cannot play online this way.Holloway 18:24, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

MInecraft 1.8.2
I've heard that there will be New Mobs: Endermen, silverfish, cavespider. New Blocks: stone bricks, stone bricks stairs/ slabs, fence gates, glass planes, iron bars, melons. Creative Mode, experience bar, breeding, enchanting table. Generated Structures: ravens, NPC villages, Strong holds, mine shafts. New Biomes: ocean(on the floor there will be clay), mountain, snow, swamp. Combat Mechanics: critical hits, charging bows, block attacks. Food System: stackable food, food meter, sprinting, melon slices, beef, rotten flesh, chicken, apples

Puppielove 19:24, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

thats kind of obvious since they were added in 1.8 but you got a few things wrong the exp bar and enchanting won't be added90.195.151.158 23:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Enchanting tables in minecraft Xbox 360
There is no enchanting tables 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)

Who keeps screwing with the date?
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)

Someone needs to stop that Heffe guy hes been revision this page numerous times me and at least two other people have had to revise and restore it.

IKR?! I check the release date everyday cause I want to see if there is an offical date yet! I changed it twice already back to TBA! Really annoying, i know we all want the update already! --Richrocks321 19:33, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Recent Children's Game
So someone's been playing around with the wiki page, and adding crap into the coding, editing in release dates that are unrealistic and/or without citation. I won't say any names *cough cough* User:Heffe but I think this person should be disallowed to edit/modify content of the wiki page.

Vandalism
I know this Wiki can ban users who vandalized, but can it ban people who don't have an account, because some of these vandals aren't even members.--Dragon3025 01:13, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

It says protection level was changed does that mean no on can edit the wiki now? Richrocks321 00:20, 28 September 2012 (UTC)


 * No one can edit this particular article for a short time. If the vandalism continues after the protection expires, we will be forced to apply some type of permanent protection for it. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:33, 28 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Given that the edit warring continued after the initial 3 day protection, I have semi-protected this page indefinitely. We prefer to keep an open editing policy to everyone, whether registered or not, but when a page receives the volume of pointless edits this one has, it becomes time for that to change. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  11:08, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Release dates
Why was the release date column removed? The information was useful, relevant, etc. I saw the removing edit summary saying that it invites speculation, but that's a stupid reason to remove useful information. That why we have editors, to police so-called speculation. I also so saw the edit summary say that it's always been announced just days before release, but so? It's still useful information. I propose restoring the information. If you're gonna get rid of this one, you should get rid of the planned released dates on all of the pages for upcoming features.

 * It isn't useful information on this particular page. Officially announced release dates, including ballpark dates such as what month it is in based upon info like "sent to Microsoft cert", belong in the main version history page. This page is only for upcoming features, hence the title.  14:10, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Then get rid of it on the upcoming features page for other versions. You just said it's not useful. CRRaysHead90 22:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

4JStudios said they will be sending 1.8.2 to Microsoft for testing this week. Hence, release date is revelant since everyone is anxious to know about 1.8.2's release. But i see why you deleted it, everyone kept vandalizing and changing the date. Richrocks321 22:30, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

release date column
Because of recent changes to the upcoming features the release date column is gone now whenever the REAL RELEASE DATE is anounced i wont get to see it or know when it is coming out. So whenever it is anounced will they add back the release date column and if not where can i find the release date WHEN IT DOES COME OUT D1RTY JESUS 7:04, october 2, 2012

A release date will never be announced because the exact day of release will never be known until the day it is released. Microsoft is in charge of releasing the update after it gets certified, and Microsoft does not put deadlines on a cert testing schedule. The time it takes is completely variable. It's not like a game such as, say, Halo 4, which has already been tested and certified and approved, and is only being held until a certain date in order to release during a period that their marketing team believes would bring in the most sales. And because there's no way of knowing the release date, taking out the column is a good thing. Historically the wiki has had false info for the predicted release date for every single title update we've had in this game, and seems to have no more thought than "It's going to come out this month, unless it doesn't, in which case obviously it will be out next month." It's just a bunch of speculation and rumor mongering, it helps noone and does more harm instead. Like when everybody believed the Twitter hoax where someone responded to a Yes tweet by 4J by asking if the updates were coming in September to make it look like 4J was confirming that. It was all over the Wiki and Youtube, and now half the community is straight up mad that it's October and still no update. TL;DR: the wiki reports on facts, not speculation. Release dates are speculation, and can stay on the discussion pages. Props for finally getting rid of it. 68.46.182.213 18:40, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

To the guy above me whe tried to answer my question you are wrong a week befor each update released they had a date and the date was allways right D1RTY JESUS

I dunno what world you've been playing MCXBLA on, but they've never given us a release date for any of the updates so far, they only ever announced it when it went into cert with an "It'll be out soon" and some changelogs 68.46.182.213 02:37, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Iron/Snow Golems?
In The Upcoming Version 1.8.2

Will there be Iron golems or snow golems? I have a castle save on my Xbox360 and think some guards would be neccesary for it. :P Sadly no iron or snow golems are in 1.8.2

Your best bet for now is to set dogs around your castle. If you're attacked, they'll come to you. Holloway 18:35, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Next update yet?
Hey, guys, just dying for the next update, but when is it? Last date you gave us was in September, and it's October now. Can you provide me and the other minecraft players an exact date, perhaps?

Log into XBL and launch Minecraft. If you see an update prompt, the update is out. Cheers~ 108.167.97.44 18:10, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

To expand on that, the game is currently being reviewed by the Microsoft recert. process. As this wiki is affiliated with neither Microsoft nor 4j, no release date will be available until the game is actually updated. Holloway 18:32, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

4J Studios say that the update will come tomorrow, October 16Dazed Gamer 21:11, 15 October 2012 (UTC) Dazed Gamer.
