But, I don't want to buy something I'm probably use 3-7 times then rendered useless when Minecraft for the Xbox comes in spring?
The wireless receiver can be handy for plenty of games and roms, plus the wired xbox controllers seem to break too easily.
I do agree that buying it just for this probably isn't worth it though, however if you are planning to buy a wired controller over the receiver, the receiver is the way to go.

Be sure to bring a spare pare of pance! You'll need'em!
I recommend you guys don't do this.
The controls aren't smooth at all. I got an adapter for my PC to work with my 360 controller JUST for minecraft. I'ts incredibly hard to control. I can explain more if people are interested in why not to do this but I don't feel like typing.
The charger doesn't carry data. It only charges, nothing more.
So no.
This is a common misconception - the Play and Charge kits actually do "carry data" as you can use it to sync the controller when it is initially plugged in.
It just won't work as a wireless->wired adapter because.... because Microsoft?
Simply plug this into your computer's USB port.
Download a program called JoyToKey (or anything else you find, http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey English Version.htm).
Use this configuration pattern (edit it to your liking).
Copy and paste that into Notepad and save as minecraft.cfg in the same folder you downloaded JoyToKey
Run JoyToKey and select minecraft as your configuration file.
Minecraft should now work with your xbox controller.

Tell me what you think!
They make wireless receivers for the PC. So you can use a wireless controller on your PC if you buy one.
