That's kind of dumb considering some of us have keyboards or chatpads...Are you sure this is what they said?
Yeah, I heard it too. They said something along those lines at the 4j studios panel at minecon. I saw the video of it. They singled it out as something that wouldn't necessarily make sense to port into the Xbox version because it doesn't really make sense with the traditional xbox inputs and wouldn't be accessible for everybody (not everyone has chatpads or usb keyboards). I'm not saying that they should or shouldn't add them but I see where they are coming from.
One thing I hope we get in a future update is the Large Biomes feature from 1.3.1. I want worlds that are dominated by extreme hills. & when I say dominated, I mean like 90-95% of the map.

If it takes a considerable amount of time to add one item into the game then I could see the reasons for leaving it out. However, just because everybody can't use it effectively doesn't mean there isn't a large portion of us who can. Besides aren't most keyboard usb these days? Unless your computer is ancient just use the one from your computer and put it back when you're done.
If they're concerned about making everything accessible to everyone, then I want to know what they were thinking about splitscreen. Not all of us have HDTV's or HDMI cables. If someone from 4J reads this please save us the headache of using signs and add the books.

It would be more than large, as when I had that option selected on the pc version the size of the biome would be a minecraft map...O_o
So in a way you would get a map with just one biome. It is a good feature if you only want 1 biome, but it is bad enough that we already sometimes get that with the new snowy biome. Christmas shows that. As well sometimes getting an all ocean one, maybe not as often as 1.8.2, but on occasion it happens. still though I would mind seeing larger biomes.
On another note I would rather there be a biome % generator. That is one that you get to specify which % of each biome there is on a map. or at least the % chance it will appear. Also have the option of regular generation or a specific % generation. Either way still all decent ideas....:D

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.
Like that dude said, pretty much everyone has access to a usb keyboard nowadays. And for those who don't, oh well. They can go buy one for like 10-20 bucks if they cared that much. Books sound awesome, and I have been patiently waiting for them for a while. I wanted to make a zombie apocalypse story through minecraft.

I need to give out more reputation. I'm not used to the system, but I see so many helpful posts. D: Sorry if I forget you!
ubergine has the right of it - book/quill is very unlikely due to the strain it would place on the censorship system. You think lag is bad now?
Judging what others have said and experienced with signs, that is just a crash waiting to happen. It would be a bit much for online play to accomplish. That would be more scanning than actually game play. I can see why they didn't although the excuse with the keyboard and/or chat pad is just plain avoiding the actual answer they probably should have mentioned. Which is the fact that signs put enough strain on that protocol as is.

anyone know what number the next update will be? or will the next one be the one where they "go their own way"? really hoping for jungles and desert/jungle temples in the next update. and upside down stairs. off the top of my head i can't really think of anything i REALLY want. o:

So wait, book and quills won't be added because of a combination of lack of accessibility (chatpad/keyboard) and something about censorship? I didn't even know xbox read and censored all custom text to begin with. And even so, i doubt it would take so much power to scan a document. And who the heck uses that censor filter anyways? Don't know about you guys but I've only ever played with friends.

That's the whole reason I would like to see it make it's way onto MCX360! So we could have a "one biome world" if we choose to do so. I'd love to have a world that's 100% extreme hills. % generator is a pretty neat idea as well.

yeah it is understandable, would be nice to have both, but more or less I think what will make it would be the large biome feature. the % thing is after all a dream for the moment. Who is to say for sure which will be in beyond 4J themselves. After all the amount of idea spread is enough to get other thinking along those lines...:D

they need to get rid of the barrer so if you play on a old world that dont have the new seeds you dont have to make a new world to play them like the PC one dose jsut keep going in one way until new stuff pops up that would be amazing and well thats one of the things why I play the PC one more I have both but play the pc cuz i can look farward to keeping the world I am in and when new stuff gets added in I dont have to restart my world to get them!!!! that makes me every mad that I have to do that on the xboxone

You do know it's not all that simple, I'm sure if they could remove the invisible walls with the snap of thier fingers then they would, but iy is almost near impossible to expand the world untill they figure out a way around it.
why cant we have cobbolstone armor or stone armor becuse cobble stone is used for wepons why not armor and can you add where you can build car and truck but need a lot of iron and ruber and add where we can grow potatoes and carrotes and broclie and make the end portal work for creative mode it fails in xbox360 pleas and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wondering if The End will just have invisible walls or if they are coming up with something different.
I hope it is bigger than the overworld's limits because the overworld has to load so many blocks with each chunk and the xbox has it's limitations. The End has a lot less blocks to load. I think we should be able to build a ways out into the void.

How old are you? 9? How are you so bloody clueless? Stone wouldn't work as armor and you don't see leather weapons. Dumb idea. Potatoes and carrots are in a way later update of the PC version. The End has not been added yet. Obviously the portal doesn't work.
I'm just looking forward to all the terrain gen features to be fully added. At the moment I've gone into creative to build a mansion, update a village and make mines. . . simply because I don't want to spend all my time at the moment digging and smelting stone, just to have to start a new world. I did tell myself that I'd never use creative, but at the moment it's the only feasable option. Not complaining though. Happy to wait.
I would like obsidian armour too. . . .wouldn't that make the game too 'easy' though? I mean, it'd be practically unbreakable.

The next major update will be 1.2.3, which should include the placing of upside down stairs, & slabs. Desert & jungle temples weren't added until 1.3.1.

-spawn eggs
-ocelots
-Blazes will drop glowstone dust
-remaining potions
-iron golems
the next update (TU8) is only for bug fixes. The end is coming in TU9
You do not need to make a new world to visit the end, if your world has an end portal.
All of this info was gleaned from a lot of tweets.

This implies that you shodul just go ahead and search your nether for a fortress now, because waiting for the bug fix will have no impact.
