recently when i play minecraft, my screen will like, mess up. i don't really know how to explain it but i will playing as normal then my screen will dim and little lines sometimes appear in the picture. it even goes into a black screen for a split second even a second sometimes. just now it flashed black twice. my game will also lag when all of this happens. my screen doesn't mess up on the dash or while i'm on netflix so is it minecraft? does anyone know what the **** is going on because it's very aggravating. if it were my tv, my game wouldn't lag when it happens would it?
I have never heard of this one, but which method do you use to connect the xbox to your TV?
Also
Which type of TV? (LCD, plasma, standard box set)
The TV or connection to it is what is most likely the problem unless your xbox is really old and is just having a unique problem.
it's connected directly to the tv through componet cables. i have an lcd tv.
but if it were the tv, my game wouldn't lag? that just doesn't make sense.
Also some people report xbox version lag just in general caused by certain things in the game. Such as on my first world, when around my mob grinder, It would lag alot. This was not connection lag, but framerate drop.
If you are in multiplayer, are you able to tell if it is connection lag or FPS drop?

i'm in single player. it messes up in different places. it messed up in my house earlier and now in my slime farm. it doesn't do it constantly. only sometimes.
Well at this point I have no idea, but you can talk directly to the developers on their Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/4JStudios/. They are very active on twitter and these forums so there is a good chance they will see this post if it stays current. I wish I could help, but, like I said, this is a unique problem I am only just seeing today.
You can try doing what the second post says, but I highly doubt that is the problem.
You can also try creating a new world to see if it happens in the new one as well, but I highly doubt this is the problem either.
I had similar things happen when I got the Red Ring of Death. Hope it isn't that but it might be. I had green little dots though. The newer xboxs don't have the Red Ring of Death but I know the older ones do.
If it is that Xbox will ship a new one to you within a month of sending it out along with a month of xbox live.
I get something similar when walking down a completed tunnel mine, every time i walk by a torch it happens. It ony happens in tunnel mines though, nowhere else. Weird.

my xbox is old... very old but these problems don't happen on anything else. i would delete the game from my harddrive and redownload it but honestly, i'm afraid it will delete everything. i don't want to take any chances, i've worked hard on my world.

maybe it's a bug then, i have no idea. i have a brand new tv so i hope it's not that, but then again it's still under warranty.
It is most likely your component cables. I've had issues similar to this and it turned out to be my HDMI cables. I very highly doubt it is your Xbox, and the only other thing it could really be is your TV or the plugs in the back where you put the component cables.
Lindsay, if you're afraid that you will delete your map, just store it on a flash drive. That way, even if your file gets corrupted down the road for whatever reason, you'll have a backup.
If you dont know how, while playing minecraft, plug the drive into your xbox. Press start, then X. It will give you a menu to 'change storage device.' If it is the first time you are using that particular drive, you will need to configure it for the xbox, it tells you how when you try to save it. If done correctly, you now have a copy on your hard drive, and the flash drive just in case.
When I go into caves and mine deep I have to play on peaceful because a spider surprising me will make me not want to play for a month and very paranoid.

Retired StaffYou can just delete the arcade game, and not the saves. You'll see it in the storage it will say minecraft game (something along the lines of that)
