Minecraft Xbox 360 update revealed

4J Studios, co-developer of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, has stated what they hope to bring to the game in their next update, giving eager Minecrafters a small look at what they have in store for them in the near future.

Still lightyears behind the PC version of the game, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition players have yet to fully grasp the whole experience that is only available on the PC. Luckily for them, major updates are in development as we speak, as 4J Studios has recently Tweeted:
"We’re aiming to update to the major PC releases – first one will be the equivalent of the PC Beta 1.7.3 version."
The current version of Minecraft 360 is set on the PC Version Beta 1.6.6. This was the update just before pistons and shears were added to the game. If what they say will be the next update, the game should include the following:

  • Pistons
  • Shears (used to pick up leaf blocks and shear sheep wool)
  • Sheep will only drop wool from being killed while unsheared, no longer from being punched
  • Fixed clay generation
  • Flint and steel/redstone will be a required to ignite TNT
  • The ability to stack fences
  • New textures for Brick and Cobblestone blocks
  • Redstone wire now will connect to a repeater
It is currently unknown if customers will have to pay for future updates including customising skins and Xbox content updates.
