The ability to leave your world open, even when you are not on. It'd make city building a lot easier and no chance of frying your Xbox. Not sure how'd you do it, but somehow

I do not know how this could work but i know there would have to be admins or something to keep people from messing with your stuff. This would be a good idea in my opinion.

The Xbox version of Minecraft isn't as customizable as the PC version when it comes to server settings. You can't add "moderators" or "admins" or even plugins at the moment, so it's hard to have a server going at all times and still be secure and well maintained. It might become easier sometime in the future, but as for now, the Xbox version should be kept to a small group of friends playing together.

There's also the fact that the Xbox doesn't have a "sleep" mode, or anything similar to it, so it would end up frying your Xbox sooner or later. Xboxs are made for short bursts of playing, with 3-5 hours as a maximum per sitting. It's not like some computers, which are built to be able to run smoothly for days on end.

All of this would make setting up an Xbox server difficult, or even impossible at this point, but who knows? Maybe server options could come out in a future update. We'll just have to wait and see.
