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)

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
my freinds have the pc versoin but my mom wont let me get it but i have it for xbox 360 so im just asking to allow some sort of link between the consoles so i can play with my friends 19:09, 31 August 2012 (UTC) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.57.113.148 (Talk).

 * this is a wiki by members of the community not mojang and 4J if you want that to be added ask jeb and 4J on their twiiter but at the moment 4J are busy working on the 1.8.2 port so wait until that comes out to ask. 2.219.96.47 17:16, 1 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)


 * 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)

technic pack
Hi I johnnydanger962 n I like playing minecraft but there isn't much to do anymore I've been watching youtube n found that the computer edition of mine craft maybe u guys could create an addon or mod of technic pack it looks really kul and give more players more ideas than the orginal gameplay. And maybe diffrent monsters that get harder n stronger as you progress deeper in the cave systems well I hope this helps spark ideas so find me on xbox ttyl jjohhnydange962 –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.36.63.161 (Talk) 18:48, 9 September 2012 (UTC).

 * this is a wiki not 4J's website go to there twitter to say stuff like this 2.222.121.126 22:49, 9 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.

Ugh...
Is it just me, or has the release date for the adventure update said "TBA" for about, 4 months? 184.1.103.140 16:44, 16 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)

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

Puppielove 19:24, 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)

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.

 * Oh don't worry. As soon as an Admin gets on he's getting banned hard. There's no question about that. --Moxxy 04:31, 26 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Reported on admin noticeboard. That should have been done much earlier, rather than engaging in an hours-long edit war. -- Orthotope 07:06, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

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)
 * Yea, IP-blocking. But this may block people who also use the same IP (if it changes to the same IP that was blocked). --M0rphzone(talk) (*How to remove sidebar*) 04:34, 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. CRRaysHead90 06:53, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * 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)
