The small world does not bother me so much, but I would like MCXB get up to date with the pc version. I think hey should work on that. Enforce they work on getting us bigger maps
This is the 360 version so of course there are some limitations. I say that we should be happy with what we've got for now. I'd be surprised if they added strongholds, at least right away. Strongholds only spawn over 600 blocks away from spawn and you can only stay within the barrier. If they add strongholds, then they will increase the limit of the map, but that will only happen if the game can handle a larger map. We can hope but don't hold your breath. Just enjoy the diverse terrain generation of 1.6.6 for now. You'll find it to be a different experience.
The version is
1.6Beta 1.6 not 1.2.5.
