I'm personally not too interested in the 1.7 or 1.8 updates because I don't feel like ravines, mineshafts or strongholds could be properly implimented in a smaller world.
I'd much rather have bug fixes and only minor changes like pistons, and shears that won't cause lag.

if it comes to skins, texture packs or mods as dlc, sorry i don't need skins or text packs. might pick up some text packs if really cool but i don't see me doing it. as far as dlc goes, i might only buy things that expand the game. if they can figure out a deal with the people that make better than wolves, indus craft, or build craft i'd buy those if i can switch them out. like if i wanted to do a btw world, there would be a tick box when i start the world to turn it on. i don't see that happening unless those people that made mods got into contact with 4j to let them work with the code. other than that, a timber type mod dlc, more farming things, or more mobs would be as far as i go.
Texture Pack, Mods,Skins are going to be dlc. I recommend everyone just start using bing, xbox rewards then. It ain't going to be super pricey like 240 each so you get 300 points from bing if you are getting 44 credits a day.
@Xnader you didn't listen to a word I said. bing.com/rewards gives you ms points only takes literally secs to do with the bot not paying your money just using at the ever least 30 secs of your time. -.- Guess you want to waste all money to dress up your avatar then.
- No new achievements unless there is DLC (which you have to pay for)
wrong, there will still be more achievements with updates like the end?(go to the end) and the end.(kill the enderdragon) or back to sender(send a ghast fireball back at its sender)
I am looking forward to the bed glitch getting fixed. I have been hating monsters randomly appearing next to my bed, even if I am not asleep (at least that is what I think the bed glitch is).
Recently XBLAFans had a Livestream with Roger Carpenter, one of the devolpers on the Microsoft end of Minecraft XBLA (i call it MCX) and he has released new information on several questions surrounding the game. Below is most of the information covered in the 2 hour Livestream, and i hope this info helps clear up some of the misleading threads in this forum.
First off There will be a small update in about 2 weeks which will be mostly bug fixes. But from the information in the Livesteam Carpenter also talked about clay becoming more common and maybe a warning message about placing Lava near the spawn. There will be another update sometime in July which is the 1.7.3 Update which will include Pistons.
Another major announcement is that UPDATES WILL BE FREE. But DLC will not be free.
The rest of the information covered in the Livestream is below and HOPEFULLY is correct.
Features coming in the next 2 weeks: (Internal Fix/ Title Fix)
- Clay will be easier to find
- Players will be warned about placing lava near the spawn
-Bug fixes:
----- Leaderboard crash fixed
----- Facebook snapshot fixed
----- Duplication Glitch is fixed
----- Bed Glitch fixed
----- Reset inventory Button Fixed
----- Nether and Nether Portal Bugs Fixed
----- Some Save Game Bugs Fixed
----- Lava Buckets in Furnaces Bug Fixed
Features in 1.7.3 update (sometime in July )
- Pistons
- Shears
- Stackable Fences
MISC. INFO:
- They Started in 1.6.6 Because thats where Mojang wanted them to start
- No paying for updates (HOORAY!!), But you must pay for DLC
- Auto Save is Coming
- There will be some Bugs in the updates that were also on PC
- No manual crafting
- No text chat (no plan for it)
- Seeds will eventually be available after creation
- For big updates (like Ravines, Strongholds, Mineshafts) you will have to start a new world.
- No new achievements unless there is DLC (which you have to pay for)
- They have a "road map" for the MCX to be updated to the PC
- After 1.8 update, the Next update will be 1.0.0 (YEA!!)
- There will never be infinite maps, but it could get bigger at some point
- The MCX is called a "moving target" which means it will be moving through the updates like the PC version (but not at the same time length)
- No in-game commands or console for Keyboard users ( as said by Notch )
- There will be MCX exclusive features (some small, some big)
- Kinnect features will be available, but not yet
- THEY (4j and the guys from Microsoft involved with MCX) ARE VERY ACTIVE IN THE FORUMS.
Stuff they are Looking into:
- Larger Worlds
- Bigger Mulitplayer world ( More World )
- Private Server
- PVP Button
- Sharable Maps
- Splitscreen on SD (but probably not)
- HUD Fading
- Changing Difficulty in-game
Stuff he could NOT talk about:
- DLC
- Texture Packs
- Mods
- Skins
- E3
If you find that some of the information in this post is not correct, please either PM me or post the correct information in this thread. All information that is supposed wrong will be fact checked before i edit the post.
The car man reallly the car? I figured we would have our own jet packs by now!
