Up to 4 players locally (requires HDTV A/V + HDMI or component cable) Up to 8 players online Simplified crafting system Notable bugs: Pouring water from a bucket may cause it to either leave an extra water source, or leave no water source when pouring the water out, sometimes you can pick up the water source by picking it up in the same spot you have poured it over. Crafting a cake does not return the buckets. Passive mobs sometimes can't be damaged when they are standing in tall grass. Stairs sometimes appear as a full block. Spiders will sometimes lose their ability to move when they are hit in tall grass. Game crashes whenever 2 (and possibly more) players finishing mining the same block.

If you try to join a game from a game invite when you are already in a game, it will sometimes freeze. If your saved game is on the cloud and you lose your connection to Xbox Live, the game defaults to player 1 and the hard drive.

Sometimes when opening the crafting area and either going through, or quitting the crafting tutorial will cause the game to freeze.
