This is taken from The Xbox 360 Official Magazine, they published it 2 days ago

"Many weeks of work to do yet, so not out soon."

Sounds like there's a way to go till the next Minecraft Xbox 360 update, which will draw on features from Minecraft PC versions 1.8.2 and (possibly) 1.9. In a bid to stave off update withdrawal symptoms, we've been coasting up and down the Twitter feed of 4J Studios man Stuart Ross. Here be titbits, information lovers. Many, many titbits. Scrape them together, and you've got the semblance of a meal.

"We're working on the 1.8.2 update, and deciding what to bring forward from 1.9 and beyond," the official 4J account Tweeted this morning. "Many weeks of work to do yet, so not out soon."

Ross was on hand to field questions about the update's precise composition. First off, your existing Minecraft worlds won't be deleted when the next update goes live, but you'll have to start a new one if you want all the new structures, which may include treasure-filled Strongholds and mineral-laden Ravines.
Enchanting (which lets you add abilities such as knockback to weapons and armor) and breeding (which lets you generate smaller, big-headed versions of your favourite animals) are on the table, but won't necessarily make the final cut. Those mysterious commodities known as Ender Pearls are in, but you won't be able to use them to teleport, as in the current PC release.

No-respawns-allowed Hardcore Mode won't be among the features leeched from Minecraft PC 1.9. As regards the much-anticipated Creative Mode, 4J is working on an interface which best suits the Xbox 360 pad.

"We haven't decided what the Creative menu will be like, but it probably won't be like the 1.8 one with the large scrolling menu," Ross noted. "It will be something that isn't too cumbersome to use with a controller."

Finally, not everything the next update adds will be already-known PC material. "There may be some new features in the next update...but you might not notice ;) There will probably be more unique things in the future, yes."

They've got their work cut out for them, clearly. 4J reckons this particular Minecraft Xbox 360 update will be "the most difficult". The recent Minecraft Xbox 360 update 1.7.3 was comparatively unambitious, but still resulted in some significant bugs.

They need to hurry up, Minecraft is getting boring. As for new features we might not notice, they'll be found quick, but I'm looking forward to it. (:

i really can't wait for the enchanting, but it's a shame you have to start a new world to add some features from the update

Would you have to start a new world in order to have creative mode or can you switch between the two in the main menu or something?

You have to start a new world to get Creative mode.
