Minecraft XBLA considering mods, diverging from PC after 1.8.2
"This isn't something that will be coming with 1.8.2, but will be further down the line," 4J Chief Technology Officer Paddy Burns tells Hookshot Inc. "The Xbox 360 won't be able to have the mod system that gives such a variety of community additions to the game on PC, but we're looking at the elements of these that people seem to be enjoying the most, and deciding how we could tailor those elements into something for Xbox."
Xbox 360 players are based in a living room, using a controller, and this fundamentally alters the way they interact with the game, Burns says. "We need to ensure that whatever we do is right for that audience."
Minecraft XBLA may diverge from its PC parentage in big ways in the future. "We're going to be discussing with Mojang where we go after version 1.2.3," Burns says. "Some ideas of taking the game in a different direction from PC having been raised already."

It would be amazing if tekkit could be on console. I would get if even if it wasn't free, as in you had to buy the mod.

It will be good if they actually release the most enjoyed mods rather than whatever ones are easiest.

mrGlitch2000-Khalifaa- I wonder how you are going to download them onto your console. Just imagine Tekkit on console.
It'd be most likely to appear on the console marketplace.
tekkit on console would be awesome

Personally, I think they should pre-install a bunch of mods and have the ability to check them on or off if you want to use them.

When it's the PC equivalent, I'll buy it. Meanwhile, I'm fine with the PC version. More stuff to do anyways.

Well can't wait for 1.8.2 as its the best update for 360 yet. but after they do update it to be equal with the PC version i do hope they go separate ways.Having the same stuff is great but if they make some changes to make it better for the 360 i wouldn't mind.
I'm curious as to what they might have in mind...
