Minecraft Forums

I have started this because I am sick and tired of seeing four threads related to consoles on the first page.

This megathread will link back to the gigathread for ease of browsing.

Instead of giving good honest reasons why console MC would not work on the various systems, I encourage everyone to post their own respective opinions here.

I will begin with a few personal beliefs. I actively encourage others to counter this or posit their own views on this idea.

MC ported period

• In my personal view, MC will be difficult to port toward any system due to the overhead involved with Java. It would require the removal of the yoke of Java to get MC by using C++ or C# to get the system implementable toward any system.
• The game would require complete redesign of features and playability on a new system. This would completely halt gameplay improvements, bugfixes, content updates, and other features in the meantime.
• This would work arguably worse than a PC/mac/linux configuration.

MC on XB One
CONFIRMED. (SOURCE: https://mojang.com/2013/08/minecraft-is-coming-to-ps3-ps4-and-ps-vita/)

MC on PS3
CONFIRMED. (SOURCE: https://mojang.com/2013/08/minecraft-is-coming-to-ps3-ps4-and-ps-vita/)

MC on the PS4
CONFIRMED. (SOURCE: https://mojang.com/2013/08/minecraft-is-coming-to-ps3-ps4-and-ps-vita/)

MC on the PS Vita
CONFIRMED. (SOURCE: https://mojang.com/2013/08/minecraft-is-coming-to-ps3-ps4-and-ps-vita/)

MC on Wii U
http://www.minecraft...epts-and-ideas/ has one of the best seen suggestions on these forums. It isn't a console war, don't bring one up, but to have a lively discussion about Minecraft's future, Hopper200456 has done a hell of a presentation and it's worth a look.

*UPDATE* Has been locked, I will keep the link there as it's one of the best described treatises on how a suggestion, let alone a console suggestion is to be done.

MC on 3DS
The 3DS has the bare minimum requirements to run MC should the MC be optimized out. It is highly suspect, as the worlds generated would hardly be considered indef, even considering current standards.

Legacy Devices/Consoles go here.

Then wouldn't this just be another "Thread related to the console?"

It's a megathread, I intend this to be THE thread related to consoles.

Good luck with that. You think anybody here reads?

Well, we do have a report button. You can use it for all sorts of redundant threads.

I don't see why you are worrying about how the console minecrafts turns out. I would be worrying more about how it would be affecting the computer minecraft. But even then, it isn't going to make the game worse, it might even get better. There will be a bigger audience, more money for them, and minecraft will probably progress even faster. BUT, I am getting doubts about the console minecrafts. It isn't going to be a disc, it will be a Xbox Live download. If you have experience on downloading games straight from a Xbox, you know what I'm talking about. It's never going to be as good as a game from a disc. Downloads on a computer are definately just as good as discs, but it just isn't so on the Xbox or any other console.

Well, the game going to consoles would bring in more money so it isn't a bad thing. I saw someone bring up a good point about being worried that minecraft would get nerfed to work on consoles.

Also, shouldn't this be in the discussion thread not suggestion.

I'm not worried as much about that as I am about the amount of spam that's created on this forum. A console implementation would be nice if possible.

Also, installing from a disk is no different than installing from download. Perhaps the disk installs faster; but it is in no way better.

This is actually a suggestion megathread, so yes, it does belong here.

Uh... minecraft has been confirmed coming to Xbox... just so you know.

*This is an Copy and Pasted message, this is probably why you are seeing similarities in reports
The Post that I am reporting right now, has to do with MC being ported to the console, and it has not been posted in yoshi9048's console megathread, therefore I request a locking and or deletion of this thread

Sorry for more Work

If notch can put it on that small mobile thing he can put it on a console. I hope he would finish (release version)the pc before porting though.

Also an Actual suggestion for Console

Kinect For Minecraft On Console
Just suggesting what everyone has already done, if this is already being developped, then ignore this (I haven't read anywhere that says it officially is)

Being able to play with Kinect

Ability To Create Servers
I don't know if this is possible, but maybe, being able to create servers for Minecraft On The Xbox the same way, or maybe even having the possibility for people playing Minecraft on the Xbox to play on Minecraft Servers on the PC, and vise versa, it would be really fun

Dinamic Building/Destroying
Sort of a "Remake" Of How Breaking Blocks work, but every time you hit a block, it goes to it's 1st destroyed rate, until it breaks, and if not hit after 5 Seconds, will return back to normal

Kinect Only Servers
Now I suggested all of those, simply to suggest this

Having the ability to include or exclude people that don't have what you want on a server, saying to exclude everyone who doesn't have Kinect on the server, and if something like Dynamic Building/Destroying was implemented, then it would really be an experience to play it

Actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have the ability to make servers on xbox live, but in a way it would suck because they all would have the same limit unless you can link your xbox to your computer to host. I don't know if that is possible.

No need for that. If you must report, the mods request that you not state you are reporting and only do so.

There is good reason for this: stating you are reporting their message only starts a tattle-tale war, creates/furthers animosity, and makes you seem the aggressor. It is imperative to simply report as concisely as possible; don't even bother to post, and move on. This helps you avoid getting warned as a member of the crossfire.

Second, there is no rule that states they have to post their console suggestion in this thread. I am no god/mod/admin and am nowhere near better than anyone else, it would only help streamline the board and improve the forum for them to do so instead of pissing away bandwidth on a new thread.

I personally am a fan of shock impression.

Profanity, though caustic and unappealing, draws attention to the material. I will agree that the severity needs to be toned down, but my personal problem comes to "how much?" Like, how much should we tone the material down? Will it lose the shock value I intended for it to have?

Alright, I'll edit and curb the language since you have made a note of it.

On the topic of making this thread a stickied megathread...

I dislike the idea. That would set a horrible precedent. If this thread becomes stickied, Kira's weapon megathread, Ygdrasel's wolf megathread, and tmj's map megathread would also need to be stickied. This is not to mention the various other megathreads that can be formed in the future. I personally don't want 1/2 the first page crowded out with megathreads.

What I DO recommend (SpitefulFox, this is a good thing to point out toward you) is to make a sticky pointing directly toward these megathreads.)

We should call it the megathread MEGATHREAD.
