Not much news. not yet at least. I completely stopped playing the console versions and went to pc, haven't played on console since January at least. I will come back once they address this issue. No excuses on the current gen ps4/xbox one with terrain not matching pc, mob cap, etc.
Agree 1000%, My XBOX 360 and PS3 are LITERALLY collecting dust right now, using my Xbox One and PS4 all day. It's getting really annoying right now, It's been almost a year and a half and the current gen versions aren't getting anything special. they're stuck with Last gen consoles. And they released the Wii U version recently, that shows that they will NOT leave the last gen versions, I hope they make different updates and different features for last gen and current gen, make them different please!!
at least you can still use ur xbox 360, mine is over 6 years and there for can't be sent in for repairs since it is red ringing on me...i just get about 5-10 minutes of gameplay then it shuts down with red-ring...
Huh. Just poked my head in again after the update. Still have rather boring worlds, no mountain over Y 106. Huge stretches of desert, tiny forests, no villages. I want to go on record as saying I really like this game, and while I am not an avid PVP player, the mini battle thing is neat.
But we need to get back to basics here. Can we have a hold on features until the world generation is fixed? I like armor stands and the new blocks and biomes, but I would gladly lose them if I could have the dramatic mountains and villages back.
Minecraft used to be my favorite game. The battle thing might be fun, I don't know. Until I read patch notes saying terrain generation is fixed, I'm not even booting it up again.
ugh. Well that's 1 part of it fixed but the terrain generation is still way too gimped on the one/ps4. How do the hills look in mountain biomes? Are there x hills? IS the the hill issue pretty much fixed now? I haven't been able to check yet.
Its a meh its only the hills that are fixed, not the small biomes. If they could just add a option for people to choose their own size of the biomes that they want, that would be great. *Insert meme here*
AS posted by Stuart on Jira - Biomes are intentionally small to enable a wide variety of different types in our world sizes. However we may find a solution to let you choose that in the future

Thank you so much for the response Steve. Would be great for current gen users to be able to choose their biome sizes! Like pc classic, 360 classic, ETC.
Ive been saying for a while, all across the boards, that next year Mojang will take over development of our version and rebuild it to match PE and 10.
Over in Terraria land, guess what happened today? Their developer is taking it back to an in house studio and rebuilding it to match their Mobile and PC editions. They also are cutting off last gen versions after a final patch.
Doesnt mean for sure that will happen here, as I believe it will. But its a little thrilling to ee my exact prediction coming true in a very sipmilar situation, pretty much for the same reasons I predict.
have a link ubergine? Id like to check it out! Are the hills and mountains fixed back to normal? What about hills in other biomes? Ive been double shifting at work the last 2 days so its been real hard for me to get to this right now. I'll prob try it out when I get home.
I hope 4j will listen to those of us that want terrain generation to be back to normal. Having an option for ps4/xbox one users only makes sense right? Its still sad and a shame to see pocket edition blow the current gen versions out of the water!
Well, if that is true, hopefully 4J remain solvent beyond that. I personally don't see a particular reason to do it, if Microjang want console to be like PC they can just direct 4J to do that, without having to set up new internal studios to questionable benefit.
Well, unlike Terraria, only the X1 version of Minecraft will require retooling as the other versions won't be cross play/Realms compatable. Maybe the PS4 version. So 4j would still have all the others.
Or, Mojang could hand them the PE code and say "Use this".

I am still trying to figure out if the fix only applies to mountains or whether it also effects hills in deserts and snowy biomes. I remember way back in an older update they said they made hills in technical biomes or something to that effect taller.
Also yea, I wonder if there still is a cap on height for hills in biomes, since some seeds have generated mesa plateau m almost to the build limit of 256. I hope in the next big update us xbox one/ps4 players can get some kind of way to stick closer to the pc generation. They have said they might make an option to choose. I wonder how much longer until the current gen starts getting more freedom and splitting off from last gen consoles.

Don't worry, I'm a doctor.

Well, apparently it will be fixed in today's update!

As long as we can get some majestic mountain formations again, I'm satisfied.
Also, the problem were terrain was abruptly cut off is FIXED in the latest update! Thank you 4J Studios!

Thanks for removing my post 4JSteve. I guess you guys can't take constructive criticism.
Why are you being censored?
Wow.
Actually if any post was deleted by me without a marked reason then it was done so accidentaly.
I mass delete abusive/spam posts over multiple threads and yours must have been caught in the crossfire.
We welcome all forms of criticism (assuming they aren't being abusive) as evident by multiple threads on the board.

So when, if ever, will console edition be getting the combat udpate? Or when is the next update?
Also would you guys consider people's mini-game, if they are popular enough, as to make them "official" minecraft mini-games?
