**************************************Map Size Workaround****************************************

I think it would be a great way to make Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition stand out and also work around the limited map by adding a feature that would allow linking of worlds via teleport portals (similar to the end and nether portals). You simply build a teleport portal to which a name can be attached on both worlds and then you (via an interface) link other saved worlds to it by picking another named portal which is not already linked. When you are "teleporting" what it really is doing is simply loading another save but putting your character on the other side of the portal. Should you save the game it will simply save the world in which you are currently residing.

This way you can also have a "Hub" world in which all the portals to other worlds link. All you would need to do is create a new portal in the "Hub" when you make a new world. This way you are far less limited in your ability to create multiple large scale projects that can be easily reached without having to save, exit, and load another map. I think it would be extremely creative and allow a more acceptable way to have a longer load time and reduce the work load without limiting building space.

This feature would:

1) Be innovative - make the game stand out as an innovator as well as creative in problem solving port issues

2) Be possible - The End/Nether portals already basically teleport you to other seeds/worlds, this feature would simply allow you to pick another world for it to send you to.

3) Answer the prayers of about every xbox360 minecrafter who's been asking for less limited map size

4) Ensure endless resources and ability to continue exploring for missing (or inadequate) spawned features. Want a large desert to build in but you're in a (mainly) tundra biome? Now you can simply link that tundra to a desert world you've found a seed for


******************************************* Video Capture****************************************************

Secondly, It would be great if in addition to the screenshot feature (thanks to 4j by the way it's very uncommon and extremely useful) there was a video feature. Since the xbox already has mic capabilities (to add voice) and other games already have video taking capabilities I feel it is also within a realm of possibility. It may not be as fancy as using a video creator but it would be a built in feature that would promote the game much better than screenshots and allow people to share their worlds without buying expensive 3rd party equiptment. Again, this would make Minecraft stand out as an innovating game.

Thanks for reading my suggestions everyone. Anyone have any thoughts?
