Adventure Update components coming to Minecraft XBLA, eventually

4.8
It may not be the next update (that's scheduled to be an Xbox approximation of Beta version 1.7.3, which adds pistons), but at some point the XBLA version of Minecraft will be brought up to parity with PC version 1.8, also known as the Adventure Update.

"There are no big architecture changes with the move to 1.7.3, so it's been quite straightforward. The move to 1.8.2 is much more challenging," 4J Studios co-founder Paddy Burns told OXM. "We are working with Daniel Kaplan at Mojang to define what is going in to the Xbox version, but the aim is to include as many of the PC features that make sense on the Xbox as possible. The game isn't Minecraft on the Xbox, it is Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, so it isn't really a direct port of the PC game."

When the Adventure Update went live last on PCs September, it introduced the Endermen, several new kinds of building materials, a new mode specifically designed for free-form creation (dubbed "Creative mode"), as well as more minor changes to combat mechanics and the introduction of a food system.

GSHonor I didn't know that adding mods and texture packs can be easily done right after they just made the game for xbox. -_- People gotta chill, things take time.

Ya they do. But the problem is microsoft's privacy policy says that no game can have modding or tampering on it. Idk about texture packs, but mods are gone.

I'm glad they started MC for Xbox the same way they did for the PC. It would be impossible to add all the features at one time. They will come over time, just like they did for PC. People need to chill

Their going to add Mods and Texture Packs as DLC


Microsoft are never going to release mods.


That's not true. Microsoft isn't the one releasing them. And Mojang wouldn't have a whole Mod Dev team if they weren't going to release mods.
