Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition texture pack support coming

4.8
The list of features still to be added to Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is quite long but 4J Studios revealed Monday that texture pack support is being added to the hit Xbox LIVE Arcade title.

"We have started work on texture pack support," the studio said in response to a fan's question. "No dates for any releases yet though."

Adding support for texture packs will allow users to change the look of the blocks that are used to construct the Minecraft worlds along with mobs and the user interface. This feature has been a part of the game since it was in alpha but it was unknown if it would ever come to the console version.

How it will be implemented is still a question since Microsoft does not allow for easy modding via Xbox LIVE. 4J Studios is already working on "tailored mods" for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition so it is possible the developer could implement a similar solution for texture packs.

I'm going to assume that they will one of the following ways to enable this feature -

~Use Internet Explorer, go to 4JStudios website where they will have a Store of sorts, you can download the Converted Texture Packs there from that page, assuming that they get Microsoft to give them Access to the 360's Local Storage

~Add an App or Arcade game kinda like Saints Row: The Thirds Initiation Station, where you could create Characters and they would sync with the SR3 Website where you could Queue them and then donwload them from withing the SR3 Game

Hopefully they will be Free because the Texture Packs are User-Created therefor they would probally have to give a percentage of the profits to the orginal creators

Vlif Nice! Also can't wait for mods!


Yes. That should be VERY interesting. I can't wait to see where 4J and Mojang will take Minecraft, considering they are on two different systems/consoles.


If Microsoft even allows the mods. It could be interesting how 4J and Mojang could incorporate this, since Microsoft is so hardcore on modding.


By mods i dont mean 1337 H4xXx0RzZz EVERYWHERE!!! i mean like PC, there will probably be downloads for very known PC Plugins like SPCommands ect..
