Will we have to start a new world when the new update is released?

I dont want to start all over again after I've spent hours building my house.

The way it looks...to get the new biomes probably, to get the new items or blocks you should be good to play on the same map. As for now I can't say for certain.

Quote from XboxMinecraftDigger

Will there be a map share so you can see other people maps and maybe see something like, Top 10 maps?

I think they (4j) are looking into to it. No solid information is known regarding that.

Quote from Natasha777

If you create a new world and get a random seed is there a way to find out which one you have??? x

Currently no. 4j is looking to add a feature in a future update though.

Are there any seeds with dungeons NEARBY,not 400,000 blocks away for minecraft Xbox360 edition

welll...with the maps only being about 1k by 1k...I think you can say its safe there is one within range of 1k. Otherwise...I think dungeons are rare in this version...maybe check out the xbox360 seed feed for a good one?

will they update it the same as pc?
like will they eventually add strongholds, endermen, melon, silverfish, etc.?
will they allow us to change our skins or make our own custom skins?
how often will the game be updated?
what will the downloadable content be?
if anyone could answer any of these questions that would be awesome

1. Slowly they will update to the pc.
2. Right now 4j is looking to add additonal skins to the game. Maybe dlc? When we can create our own skins is still left up in the air. No real information is know.
3. Microsoft limits how fast they can update and when. More time will between updates to flesh out major bugs before it is released to the xbox360 console. The updates will not be as fast as the pc version, but like I said it will update slowly.
4. No idea about dlc yet.

Quote from Kuldorn

I dare not do the usual Minecraft things (exlpore far from spawn, start big projects) in case new biomes and features will only show up in the current map radius. So, will the map expand with updates so I can actually play the game as it is meant to be played? Or is Minecraft XBLA Edition only for casual play in a tight environment, with no point in starting big builds or exploring far from spawn if you want to see all the new updates in the same map?

Not interested in speculation, just cold hard facts please.

you aren't going to get anything but speculation atm, but I can tell you I highly believe we won't be seeing new biomes on our current maps.

From what I've expeienced, if I go to an unexplored section of my map that no one has visited, find a cave and resources to mine out. If the host closes the game with out connection and I'm sent back to before the cave was found. If I go back there, since it wasn't explored I shouldn't find the same cave since the land 'should' reload differently now. It didn't. Same cave. Same resources. The map was the same even if it wasn't explored again.

How to run ?

can't yet. In a future update. It came out in 1.8 beta. The next update we will be getting is the 1.7.3 beta version. So not next update either.

Quote from OxiAlloKarvouno

Sorry , complete newbie to Minecraft. I have tamed 7 wolves. Can I feed them? Do i need to? thanks.

When you look at there tails, a healthy wolf will have it angled up, a hurt wolf will have it lowered when standing. You can feed them rotten flesh, or any type of meat to heal them. Otherwise you shouldn't have to feed them.

This is a happy/healthy wolf.


Notice how the tail is down in this one? This wolf is close to death and needs food to regain health points back.

At this point, feed it meat (cooked or uncooked) or rotten flesh.

Quote from Natasha777

Will there be any more Xbox achievement's, other than the current ones??? There doesn't seem to be many. XxXx

I haven't checked in a while, but it should be 800. I think the arcade titles are restricted to a set amount, but I could be wrong. I'll look it up in a bit.

Thanks

Quote from SHAMPOOZIE

When will xbox get their first update?

this was answered earlier and I believe on this page...
jeb said "this summer".

Quote from OxiAlloKarvouno

Actually there are 20 Achievements worth 400G. (Got them all ).

okay, then they should be able to expand to 800. So they will possibly add more achievements then. Maybe with the nether?

*When i meant nether i meant Nether Fortresses (blaze rods) and possibly The End when they add those in.

Quote from Gabe91E

I didn't find this question in the front page. How long do you have to recover your items after you die?

I believe on the PC it was 5 minutes, if going by that then about 5 minutes, (will test this later)

Quote from PokemonChampionPerfection

Hey I need help with my minecraft, my xbox 360 keeps freezing constantly when I play my one world, can anyone help please?

how old is your system? which generation and what exactly are you doing when it freezes? If anything, you may want to check out the Minecraft Bug page.

Quote from Midgardrealm

I have two questions

1. Can we have splitscreen and xbox live at the same time?

2. How do you setup splitscreen it isnt working for me

1. Yes. If both players want there in ventories saved then they both must have gold.
2. Make sure your xbox is hooked up to an hdmi tv. After that make sure it is rather hooked up with the component cables ( red blue gree red white cables ) or an hdmi cable. After that, check your xbox settings and make sure the xbox is on hd settings. Either 720 or 1080p.after that. Make sure both controllers are on. Load mine craft and on the seecond controler press start, log in the second gold account (if online). If the second account is not gold, make a new profile and then convert it to a guest account to log it in to play.

Will They Fix Certain Bugs? Like The Fire On Cobble stone one?

all bugs should be fixed eventually. If it has not been reported in the bug threat be sure to let them know there so the 4j developers know.

Quote from mylifeis

Will this update fix corrupted saves or frozen saves? or is it best to start over..for the fourth time.

I can't say for sure. I know they are looking at bug fixes. For now I say start a new world. Maybe you will be able to play your corrupt world after the update.

Quote from jordy0067

i have 1 question.

Will there be minecraft mods for the xbox?
Because that will be usefull like buildcraft in mines to transport items with pipes.

Right now no, Jeb mentioned months back that they would be working on an API, but from there, who knows what mods would be allowed on, if any from a 3rd party source.
