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.

Ska I personally believe they should have never sold this game as outdated as it was. They have up to a certain version on pc and this is where it should have started on xbox.

They would have to re-code a lot of it. Minecraft is a pretty CPU intensive game and getting it to run smoothly on xbox as updated as it is on pc would be hard without redoing most of it.

All of this was explained prior to launch, they even made clear which version would be included on release.

For this reason I really wish people would stop moaning about things that were never a shock in the first place.

They waste a year of their time doing 1.6.6 then they have to update the whole engine for months and months and months.

I really want creative mode, all i like to do is build, i dont really care about the monsters, i think it is pointless if you play on peaceful...it is prettyy much creative mode but you still have to get your own blocks.
