Recently among my friends on Xbox that play Minecraft I've noticed a trend where the limited amount of space restricts the resources or in some cases eliminates some resources entirely. For me the bigest problem is the glowstone, there is such a small amount i am restricted with what i can do. In another instance is my friend was given a seed with no snow environment, so he was left without any snow or dark wood. I would like to brainstorm on solutions to the problem. One of the solutions i've come up with is a chest much like the ender chest that only helps you trade materials between different worlds. this would add more adventure back into the game i think. Anyway what are your thoughts and solutions.
Ive had this same issue with clay as well. Also in my world, the nether is very dark and has almost no glowstone, not to mention that when you break glowstone you dont always get 4 dust.
Here is a list of resources that are limited or at sometimes non-existent.
Pumpkins
cactus
glowstone
clay
sugarcane
mossy stone
snow
pine trees
soul sand
Ive actually had the exact same idea about the chest in each world so that you could get more of the other resourses. its a great idea and we would still have to find the resources and dig them up, but at least we would have infinite.
Yes but even in that there is such limited space to work in. Who want to start and new map just cuz the other completely looks like a disaster cuz it is already clutter with mashed together builds.
The map will never be that big because there is a limit on how big a save file can be on xbox.
Again, there are ways around that and 4J said in a Twitter feed that they are looking into what can be done to enlarge world size. A few people i've talked to who also work in gaming and w/computers said that it can be worked around the Xbox's save files and that 4J wouldn't give us a cramped world when they add strongholds,abandoned mineshafts,ravines etc. So don't lose hope on expandable world size let's just wait see what 4J will do

Lol you say they will work around it? i have worlds on the pc version that are over 1gb. The save depends on how much of your world you have discovered, the further you go, the bigger the file size. They might make the worlds a tiny bit bigger, but it wont get anywhere near the size of the pc version, and because of that, resourses are always going to be limited.

I'm sorry did I say they would be PC size?? No??Maybe you should read my whole post next time instead of coming to your own conclusion on what i said. I said they're looking into enlarging the worlds not infinite PC size and there's a way around the save files(Not 1GB). There's a big difference Please read more carefully next time

You are missing the point completely, even if they do enlarge the world, it will not have INFINITE resources like the pc version. Also, i never said you said anything about it being as big as the pc world, i was simply stating that without the infinite world size, we would still have limited resources. Next time you need to read my whole post instead of coming to your own conclusions.

Someone once posted the idea that there could be a few inventory boxes (like the ones for armor) that would hold whatever you put there between worlds. My world doesn't have have a single cactus or pumpkin, sucks.

cactus re-grows and so does sugarcane (pumpkins in a future update) also snow regenerates on the ground when there's snowfall and pine trees are infinite with saplings.

Again you don't read what I say I said nothing about infinite resources i was merely talking about world size. I can't tell if you're being serious or just trolling.

doesnt help if they arent on the map to begin with...

There is not a single cactus in my world. I really need it, because I would like to make green dye. I've had several different friends help me comb my entire world, and no one can find a single one.

Many worlds spawn without resources such as pumpkins, snow, cactus, pine trees, and sugarcane. I know that they will regrow, but only if your world spawns with them. If your world does not have them, then ur just screwed.

Not everyone has a hard drive. I admit I wish that they had made that the minimum requirement, but I do not think they did.
