Gameplay
The Xbox 360 edition is currently based on an earlier version of the PC edition (Beta 1.6.6), and therefore lacks some items and features, such as sprinting.
For the most part the Xbox 360 edition of the game is identical to the PC edition, but has several notable differences and features:
- The player can optionally make use of Xbox Kinect functionality to assist in their gameplay, although Kinect functionality was not available at launch.
- The Xbox 360 edition doesn't make use of the standard crafting interface as in the original version, but still has similarities to the PC's 2x2 and 3x3 crafting grids. The interface doesn't require the Player to place items in the correct place in a crafting menu, but simply shows the blocks required to craft the selected item, and crafts it if the Player has enough blocks.
- There are 8 default skin types, all of which appear to have Steve's face, but wearing different outfits.
- The game features split-screen functionality, however an HDTV with a Component or HDMI cable required for Split-Screen play. Up to 4 players can play in split screen*, as well as the possibility to play 8-person online multiplayer game modes in split-screen.
- Mods, Texture Packs and extra player skins will be available much later.
- The Xbox 360 edition includes a tutorial mode not included in the PC version of the game. This tutorial leads the player through the basics of mining and placing blocks, crafting, as well as building their first house to survive the night.
- You cannot change a world's difficulty mid-game. You can change it when you select the world for play.
- You always begin a new world with a map.
- Unlike the PC version, each world in the Xbox 360 Edition is currently limited to 1024 by 1024 blocks. This is approximately the size of an in-game map. It is expected, but not known if the world size will be increased along with the updates that will bring the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft up to date with the PC version.
- You can not walk through Sugar Cane.
The Xbox 360 controller controls:
"A" to jump/place item. "B" to drop/toss item. Right trigger to mine/destroy blocks; attack; toggle switches/doors. Left trigger to place/use block/item. Left/right bumper to change group of craftable items. "X" to open up the crafting menu and show description of highlighted item. "Y" to open up the inventory. Analog sticks to look/move/change selected item. Analog stick press down to sneak/walk.
