Really Really Really dumb question.. But where can I find diamonds? I can't seem to come across any...
this is vanilla minecraft 1.6.6 so i think diamons are even harder to find maybe i'm wrong but diamonds are pretty hard to find and now we don't have the x, y and z diamonds are from layer 1 to 16 well that's on 1.2 pc so i'm not sure either while i was playing i didn't cross with any diamond lol
Do you have any suggestions to fix this in split screen it dosnt press start to join like i saw in the videos is this a bug or something wrong with my minecraft?
I dont know if this has been asked already, but on split screen;
I tried to set up a game so my dad could join in, and there was no way to get him into the game. What do I do so he can join?
Try connecting both controllers, then starting a game. Maybe it'll give you a split-screen option. I haven't tried at all, Im the only one in my household that plays.
does anyone know why guests can not join the game online, i am able to have a friend play as guest on halo reach when playing online , is it a bug or something?
I think it may be a bug. Some games don't allow guests though.
I am also having problems with multi-player. Wanted the xbox version so I could play with my wife and son. But it looks like I need a gold account in order to be able to invite someone to play the same game. I didn't really want to invest in a gold account just to play multi-player on Minecraft. Am I getting it all wrong or do you need gold accounts to pull off multi-player?
I hear there is a Family-pack of Gold Edition for like, 8$ a month. I really don't know a solution for this bug, Nobody in my household but me plays minecraft. :S
Its there any way Minecraft for 360 can render MORE Land ?
Nope, but there should be enough room for houses/big towns/big projects, just not enough room to fit EVERYTHING into.
Just a fast update,
I got home today, managed to get the points for the game, and have been building stuff with my friends all day long. I'll update stuff tomorrow. Maybe a patch for some bugs will be out, if there are any. Comment with any current bugs.
Also tomorrow I will change the questions on the topic from future-tense, to past-tense.
Example: "When the game will be released ___ will ...." to "When the game was released ___ will...."
I'm not an official for 4j or have any inside information, but I'm familiar with a few XBLA titles.
Does anybody know if/how or if you can play in the map that your friend is hosting when he is offline. We started a multiplayer map and my friend is the host but if he's offline we cant play it....... Anybody know if theres a way he can set it for us to be joint host or we can use the map when he's not on?
I don't think that's possible, because the world is saved to the creator's xbox gamertag account. That person has to be in the world and online for his friends to join. Maybe they could release a patch to allow anybody who joined the "game" to share the world, keeping the world saved in the cloud so that individual players wouldn't have to sync their worlds together?.
Also, these are just my opinions, I may be talking crazy:
There will probably be skins, worlds, and (possibly) mods download, but they would be things only 4j develops and provides. Microsoft doesn't normally let third parties develop things for a game that the *owner* third party has developed and licensed on XBLA.
I doubt that the Xbox version will ever match the PC version just because the 2 games are different platforms, and most of the direction is toward the standard PC version. It takes a while to put all those improvements from the PC version into a whole different platform and language, and fix the bugs too. I suspect they'll take a while to iron out the bugs then possibly start trying to do some upgrading.
Although there is hope for it, I doubt that the Xbox version users will ever be able to play with the PC version users. The platforms are completely different, different networking components, different file structures, and as near as I can tell, Microsoft has never allowed this with an XBLA title before, as well as always being different versions. Although it would be a great feat if they could accomplish it, I just don't think that's in the cards.
I can't answer the system link question, but I'd like to know that answer too.
As near as I can tell, at least one gold account needs to be able to create a world, and then up to 7(?) other people with standard silver or gold acocunts can join the world. I had 2 silver accounts join as guests to a world I was participating in. Silver accounts are the basic accounts you're set up with when you join Xbox live. They are free.
There isn't a creative mode in the game, although it'd be nice if they could include one. Maybe that'll eventually be a downloadable mod. I suspect any skins or mods will cost something to download and apply to the game.
Has anybody used the "Steve" gift that you are awarded while playing the game? I didn't get a chance to see what it actually was, was it something for your xbox live avatar?
I'm curious if the seeds are the same between the PC 1.6.6 version and Xbox version 1.6.6
When a world is created, such as the default name "New World", can the owner go back later and rename it to something else? Couldn't find that option anywhere. Actually, maybe you can't even give the world a name now that I think about it.
This may not be possible, as the only reason 4J-studios has to rewrite minecraft for the xbox is because the PC version of the game runs java, and the xbox version cannot run java so they had to recode the game in a language the xbox can read. Map files are stored in files and read by Java.
A converter would have to be made, and on the PC. A converter would not work on the xbox because it would have to read the java, which it cannot, in order to convert it to the new file system.
That makes no sense at all. File types are not bound to a specific coding language. Last I checked (which has been a while, but still) map files were stored in a proprietary format that Notch or an associate came up with. It just so happens that they read the files with Java because.. Minecraft is written in Java. But that doesn't mean I couldn't write a C# map editor- or C, or C++, or Python. Once you know the file structure, you're good to go. Think of it like a .txt file- you can read that in any programming language because they all know how to interpret one.
The more likely cause for incompatibility would be a change in the file format used to store the map, not the coding language. That and having blocks and items on the PC version from mods that don't exist on the Xbox version. Until they get everything ironed out with the SMP+SSP "local server" code base and the Modding API, I doubt the two versions will be compatible.
i don't think you need a gold account to buy it, though you will need one for online multiplayer anyways, also stores like gamestop sell xbla games(i know this because i bought my code at gamestop) so you don't need to set your credit card/paypal on your xbox if you don't want to.
Q: I have stripmined a little bit but cant find lava, are it lava on Minecraft XBLA edition?
yes there is lava, i played the tutorial so my friend and i could see how the 360 version worked, near the tutorial area i found lava in a small cavern.

This is especially true since Java and C# go hand in hand. C# is Microsoft's answer to Java(They didn't like the way Java was set up, so they made their own version). As a programmer, switching between the two is nearly seamless both in syntax and in format. So building an API to deal with the map will be cake if they look at the way Notch & Co. do theirs.

That does make a lot of sense, I've never used Java or C+ first hand, but I do know the basis of how it works. I guess my head wasn't screwed in tight enough on that one. Time to change it, Thanks.

So I MUST go on Xbox live to get MC360? Crap.

You need either an HDMI or a component cable
edit:nvm saw the wiki entry for it
