"In the near future...."
That's funny. "Near future". Yea, right.
Why does everyone think that the mods for the xbox will be exactly the same as the PC ones? There's thousands out there for the PC, but 4J will have to code their own. I don't see most of the 3rd party people being able to write conversions of their existing mods, and even if they did if they're smart, they won't be free- not with all the work involved. I don't see MS allowing outsiders to make mods you can download.
Anyway, 4J will have to code their own (the game isn't exactly like the PC version- why should the mods be?) and include them in the game itself as part of the normal upgrade process. You just choose them from a menu (like texture packs will be). That also means that you'll probably be able to count the number of them on one hand... not "hundreds" of them like you're used to now.
Finally, 4J won't allow or create any mods that give you an advantage over other players (read: cheat), like Timber! or TooManyItems.
Personally, I don't think mods will happen. While a few vocal people think they just have to have them, I'd bet that 95% of the xbox users don't need or want them.
Of course I saw the "if".
My reply was to all those posting thinking that existing mods would be duplicated in the xbox version. The question was IF mods were to happen, which ones would you want, and people kept saying existing ones. I was just saying they won't be the same.
Not counting the mod loader and and forge versions and gui ap, and etc. then probably the zepplin mod, or chococraft, my favorite mods, though pokemobs is great too. And extra biomes xl
But I seriously doubt there will ever be mod support even if they say it's planned, because how the heck would it work? It just doesn't make sense to me, the only way I can think of is accessing your hard drive and downloading things on that, which MS isn't too fond of
MModloader. But seriously I highly doubt there will be mods for this version of minecraft because think about it no other Xbox game has a feature where you can add mods to it. Mojang doesn't have the technology to do this. It would mess everything up.
Have either you looked at the word IF in the title. Geneo, you even copied the title.
Also, here is an awesome suggestion I had: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1745550-biome-effects/
THANK YOU
