New Information
PAX was today and Mojang released some footage of the X Box version being played, showed the leaderboards, achievements and crafting tables. He disproved a lot of information that is already on the page, needs to have a lot added to it and a lot removed from it.


 * Add achievements for 360 version.
 * No modding will be possible although the page says it will be.
 * You can join friends worlds and save them to play later by yourself.

That is just some of the things I noticed were different than the page and PAX information.

I think for the minecrafters that now how to craft should be able to craft by themselfs because if you do this people will love that and the classic minecrafters will feel at home. A "Auto Craft" button should be implemented. The classic minecrafters will know what i mean and feel and if anyone would like to explain it better please do im a horrible explain er.

(Edit) Another words you should have the option to 'auto craft' with a button which is shown whilst using a crafting table or in your inventory and still have original PC crafting. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 94.8.206.212 (Talk) 21:56, 1 May 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Vandalized!
Some spammer changed the cover art into a trollface! Fix this please or Mojang is not happy!

Also I'm pleased the vandalized was blocked! Here's his contbutions: MIncraftOffical's spam contributions

This should be reverted ASAP! (Also he looks like he's sockpuppeting because of the I.) 99.130.169.136 10:37, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Buckets
Water in buckets doesn't act right when you dump it sometimes it doesn't load and other times once you take it away it just comes right back. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.44.175.19 (Talk) 22:15, 9 May 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Autosave Feature Bug
In my experiences, I've found the autosave function (supposedly indicated by an open chest with an arrow dropping into it) doesn't work.

I loaded up a new world with a friend, with myself as host, and after around three hours of continuous playing, my console crashed. Fortunately, I'd seen it autosave multiple times before. Alas, when I came to start the world again, it was just the world as it had been before we even punched our first tree. Does this bug occur to everyone? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Onetimeusage (Talk&#124;Contribs) 01:24, 10 May 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * This one is on the Known Bugs page... --ArcaniX5696


 * I don't think this is a bug, I think the chest means that it is saving world data, not the world itself. TTiscoming 22:38, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Glitch
Dear readers I was excited about the release of this game but there is 1 thing if you are playing and u go to sleep a mob will spawn in your house and try to kill u it happens like 88% of the time so keep a sword on you –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.80.72.63 (Talk) 13:28, 10 May 2012 (UTC).

this means you have a door open a wall area they can get in your house from or your house has little light176.248.221.60 22:18, 11 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, this bug exists. No, there is no open door or wall area inside that has little light... Space is fully enclosed and VERY well lit (trying to stop the spawning...)  This is also listed on the Known Bugs page...  --ArcaniX5696

Ive figured out that if u put ur bed away from the wall (or any block) so no edges or corners touch then the mobs shouldnt spawn in light or around u like usual

Trouble getting torches
I have found it very difficult to get the coal to make torches. I built a house, its really dark inside with little light and now Creepers keep spawning in my house and destroying it!! Finding it really hard to survive through the night.

Any tips on getting torches early in the game? and how to keep mobs away from your house? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Pepsicokexbox (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Yes, In one word... Charcoal. =) On your first day, grab enough wood to get your pick & axe (with a sizable pile of logs left over), then mine enough stone to build your first furnace.  Make some of your logs into planks and then use some of those planks as fuel in the furnace to burn some of your remaining logs.  This will make charcoal which combined with sticks (made from some of the planks leftover when you put fuel in the furnace) and there you go - Torches.   --ArcaniX5696

New Updates
Hi all, I have recently bought this game and i'm eagerly awaiting the new updates e.g. Beta 1.8 has any got any news about when Mojang will release their first update for this great game!?

Rain causing game to "lag"
After playing this edition to Minecraft and hosting a world for a couple of my friends i've noticed that rain sometimes causes quite a lot of lag.This isn't much of a problem on deticated PC Minecraft servers but all Xbox world are privately hosted. I have joined friends worlds as well as random worlds others are hosting and this problem dosen't only include me. It would be nice to see rain either "toned down" or removed until they could find a way to help this issue.Farmymcfarm 15:18, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

How do you make bonemeal in the Xbox version of minecraft?
I got the game the second it came out and i built a humoungous house. I felt like I was done with it so i went to another area to build a treehouse. I killed several skeletons and collected bones so i can create bonemeal so I xan rapidly grow trees and have a humoungus tree. But when I went to create bonemeal,I saw that I couldn't change it. Does anyone know how or if it is a bug?21:58, 12 May 2012 (UTC)21:58, 12 May 2012 (UTC)21:58, 12 May 2012 (UTC)21:58, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

ONLINE
how many people can play online at once

8 people, over live or 4 per xbox, hope this helps. TheRealTerminal 00:35, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Any plans for people to be able to share a world?
Right now, I can go into a friends world and build stuff. However, if he is not online or not playing the game, I can not go into that world and continue to build. Are there any plans to make it so one world could be mutually shared by several people no matter who is on at any given time? I think it would make this game a ton more fun to play with friends that way. Fiendfuzz - May 17th, 2012

Will they ever link the xbox minecraft version with the pc version?
I have heard rumors on linking the servers, but i am not sure about it.

Split-Screen Multiplayer
Hey, I can not figure out how to split screen on minecraft Xbox edition. Please help? BrayMeist 23:37, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Have two controllers connected with profiles enabled, from my experiance, both profiles need to have xbox live accounts, but not gold, then enter your world, and have player 2 press start, and they should spawn, hope this helps. TheRealTerminal 00:34, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

You need and hdtv in order to play split screen

I have heard conflicting arguments as to if you need a HDTV for splitscreen, or just 4 player splitscreen, can anyone verify? also why is no one signing their posts? its simple for tidles ~ TheRealTerminal 02:51, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Glitchs and eager for updates please...
Ive recently heard about a glitch on the xbox360 edition where you take a dispenser and put a diamond in it break the dispenser and get unlimited diamonds or how ever many you can hold in your inventory. This will probably ruin the game for people please fix this and updates soon?;) Could you please enable the option to somehow create your own skins that would be terrific.

Online Play
I can't play online for some reason and I don't know why. I'm connected and everything, but I don't see any online play options and there are no available games for me to join. EVER! Please help.

Texture Packs & skins
I want to know when texture packs and skins come out for Minecraft Xbox 360 version

Can you play online with random people or is that on the update!?

Can placed dirt grow grass?
I'm trying to do something cute for my g/f so I dug into the sand on a beach to spell out our initials outlined them with dirt, filled it with water, an placed flowers on the dirt. After looking at it now I think it would look better if the dirt grew back its grass so I waited a few minecraft "days" and nothing, so now I just took of the flowers an I'm waiting but now im afraid because the dirt is surrounded by sand it wont grow grass. Hopefully the water in the middle will help but i have no idea :/ Help??
