So I am new to minecraft but not so new I know that the version on the pc is different from xbox. I was wondering how I can make the version on my xbox like the pc??? Also I have seen videos on YouTube of epic proportions how do I do something like that??
Simple - you can't turn the (now "obsolete") Xbox 360 into a "cheap" gaming PC and you can't turn the Console Edition of Minecraft into the PC Edition of Minecraft. The console is a "closed" software environment (no public modding of game code is allowed and magic just doesn't seem to cut it so what you buy is basically what you get. The "epic proportion" stuff you're seeing on YouTube was probably done on the PC (although there are some YouTubers who do play on the consoles)... so, it sounds like your best bet is to buy the PC Edition instead... if you've got the sort of PC that will play it.
Okay I have a couple of other questions too, is there any kinda quest like thinges to minecraft? You know how most games you have to comolested certain things to complete the game. Also are there villages in survival mode?
Minecraft is a sandbox game... so Quests are basically anything you set up for yourself. There is The End in the Console Edition (which involves battling the Enderdragon) and you can summon The Wither (as a different sort of "boss' battle). Yes, there are village in survival mode... however, whether or not they generate in a world you create is random... some worlds generate without them and others with them... it's just a matter of luck.
The Console Edition world is limited to a specific size (on the Xbox 360 that size is 862 blocks x 862 blocks x 256 layers of usable space). You can make somewhat larger worlds on next gen consoles (Xbox One and PS4), but they still have a specific size (I believe 3000 x 3000 x 256). The PC loads the world differently, so it's worlds are massive by comparison (some like to call it "infinite" - although that's not really accurate). The PC game save files also take up a vastly greater amount of hard drive space.
May I suggest you go through the Basic Tutorial first and then continue on in the Tutorial World for a time. That way, you'll learn what is included in the current Console Edition and how it all works. When you're done with the tutorial itself, you can save the tutorial world as any other world and play in it the same way you would play in any other generated world. In worlds you generate yourself from scratch, you just don't get the cool towns, castles and lighthouses, etc. that 4J Studios built for the tutorial world. A game-generated NPC village in a normally generated world is much, much less elaborate than the town you see in the Tutorial World.
That's what I have done I just didn't know if there was more to it then what I was seeing and then I'd see all the stuff on YouTubeand got all kinds of confused heh

There is much, much more in the Tutorial World than what you see right in the area of where you spawn. 4J have built structures in all different areas of the map... so, once the tutorial says you can now leave the area and explore, there's still a lot of learning you can do in that world. As I said, a lot of YouTubers are on the PC and playing in modded servers. There is no modding allowed with the Console Edition, so when going through YouTube, you should be looking for "vanilla" Minecraft videos dating back a year or more (since the Console Edition updates about a year behind the PC Edition) or YouTubers who are playing on a console.
Another big difference with the Xbox Minecraft is that it doesn't actually use Servers. Games are hosted on indiividual Xboxes so we don't have the big servers like Mineplex, etc.. With Xbox Live, you play Minecraft basically with small groups of friends from your Xbox Live friends list. World's are available only when the "host" is playing Minecraft in that world (the worlds don't stay accessible if the "host" turns off their Xbox or is playing another game or is playing in a different world like they would if an actual server were being used). I don't know how it's done on the PS systems. Personally, I prefer this smaller, more "intimate" type play (i.e. single-player or with a small group of select friends on a smaller world that I can build up on a singular theme and then switch worlds to build on a completely different theme)... but to each his own.
