I have an idea for a game mode. I call it construction mode. It consists of a blank grid where you can craft like creative, but you can also load structures that you've built from mcpc, mcxbla, or mcpe. You can edit them and upload them to a server that can be accessed through any of the platforms for download to that platform. I have mcxbla and mcpe, and I plan on getting mcpc soon. I don't always get to play my Xbox whenever I want but I prefer the larger screen and physical controls. But I spent a lot of time crafting structures on my phone that I end up recreating on my console. I just wish there was a less time consuming way to do that. I wish I could just transfer what I built to my Xbox. This would accomplish that.
It's not for the sole purpose of crafting. It's for being able to have the same structures on multiple platforms without having to do all the hard work of putting it all together again. Say you have a house on your pc and you have to go on a trip somewhere. You don't have access to a computer but you find yourself sorely missing minecraft. With the cunstruction mode you can just fire up minecraft on your trusty mobile device and load the house you saved on your pc and craft away. Then when you return home you can load the changes made while you we're away to your pc without all the extra work.
I don't think this would work to load pc constructions on pocket edition or Xbox. This would simply be because the pc save files are more massive than what your mobile device or Xbox could handle. So there might have to be a requirement so you can't load a pc world on the Xbox or pocket edition, or for an Xbox file on the pocket edition (I think Xbox worlds are bigger, but I may be wrong), but you could probably be fine loading your modified Xbox tutorial world on your pc.
Additionally, I don't think this should be a separate game mode, more so a separate option when you open the game (on pc for instance, the main menu says single player. Multiplayer, etc. there could be a button that says "load worlds from other device").
Regardless of how it's added, you would probably have to link your pocket edition/Xbox user/world with your pc account in order for this to work.
To sum it up, I could care less if this was added (I don't have an Xbox and I prefer pc over pocket edition) but other people may want to see this added.

If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 99% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 1% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens.
No I will not +1 you unless you say something worth +1ing. Respect is earned, not given.
Transferring files between PC edition and Xbox edition would be ridiculously difficult, as the PC version is coded in Java, and the Xbox version in C++.
I support this one way or the other.
I only play on my PC but I wish I could save individual structures and load them (multiple times?) into any other world I wish.
This would help really much when building something that is enormous and (at least partially) repetitive.
Going to be complicated as the xbox version is just pased the adventure update and not all blocks on the pc will be added to the xbox. Like the pocket edition has different unique blocks that other versions do not have and the xbox might not ever get endbrick as xbox might never get end due to troubles loading world. Not to sure if you remember the bug that caused your console to crash everytime you enter the nether.

Use MCedit, it's great for that purpose.
