Minecraft Adventure Update

While many of you may be enjoying Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, anyone who has played the PC version will know that there are many big features missing. 4J Studios have already said that they’re working on bringing many updates to the Xbox version of the game, with the first being the 1.7.3 version as we detailed previously.

Speaking to OXM, 4J have now confirmed that the many missing features will be worked on. The update after the first one, termed the “Adventure update”, will be the big one as it brings all of the features of the 1.8.2 version of Minecraft to the Xbox Edition. The biggest feature being the Creative Mode, which some people spend most or all of their time on in Minecraft, creating all sorts from spaceships, huge memorials and even game worlds.

“This is going to be the most difficult update due to the sheer amount of changes, and also the underlying architecture changes that come with it. We’re looking forward to the challenge!” Burns reflected”, said Paddy Burns of 4J Studios.

The Creative Mode grants the player invincibility, the ability to fly, as well as gives them an infinite amount of all the blocks to create with. In the Survival Mode, you can expect things to get a lot tougher with the need to eat being introduced and a new enemies including the Endermen. Luckily, you’ll also gain the ability to parry attacks as well as include NPC villages and the underground ravines and much more. You can see the great big list over on the Minecraft Wiki.

“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, Burns also added. “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.”

More information on Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition can be found over on the official Xbox Marketplace.

  • troddsky

    this doesn’t answer my question. I want to know “when” is creative mode coming to the Xbox 360 version.

  • samshep

    Sounds quite cool! Can you go to the end ? it says its go endermen?

  • John Douglas

    There has been no confirmed date as to when any update will come. There is, though, a confirmation that the 1.7.3 version will come out in early July of 2012. The only thing I can really tell you that will have anything to do with the creative mode update is that we will have to wait a few months, maybe even a year for that. In the update, things such as Enderman, Enchanting, Alchemy, Creative Mode, The End, and Blazes will be included. Those are just the things that I can come up with off the top of my head, but just from those factors, you can see that there will be a lot in the update. 4J probably wants it to come out as soon as you do, but there is work that needs to be done.

    I think that the creative on xbox would be PERFECT! I played pc version at friends houses but WOW lag was bad i also hope that mojang doesnt make it only available to xbox live! that would suck! :-(
