so it's been a loooooong time since I played minecraft. I got back on and it's near impossible to run now i'll double tap forward and 1/30 times it will actually run. it isn't my controller. and it's getting really annoying having to walk everywhere because I can no longer run.

ahhhh that sucks man. but alright, i don't blame you.

nice man. now all you need is an xbox one so we can play again. because all this progress sounds great.

yeah i found out it was my friends internet because i played with other people and it all went smoothly. but with him in any game there is always a insane amount of lag. though the worst was when we played the halo campaign.

wait does this mean we also have those biomes that have Acacia too? or is it just in the creative menu?

It asks me to sign up for gold when I try to get the skin pack.

ThatThat said, I had troubles before with content that was supposedly available with silver as well. For me, it won't let me get it without getting gold.

the answer is simple microsoft does not like you. nor do they like me :| lol. maybe 4j had made it so silver users can't download stuff anymore. because they said they would never add manual crafting and look where we are at. they said they would never add book and quill and look where we are at. so i wouldn't be surprised if they said you can download everything on a silver account. and then look where we are at :/ we may never know. or maybe it's just for xbox one silver users. im not sure.

is it just me or does the xbox one seem to have worse lag then the 360 does? when i play minecraft with my friend it takes me about ten minutes just to get through the front door. my internet is pretty good and his is decent but there shouldn't be this much lag. i thought the xbox one version of minecraft was suppose to get rid of the lag not enhance it.

Between that and this post by 4JSteve it's confirmation that the console editions are getting Books and Quills.

the second link doesn't work. on either of your xbox one or xbox 360 posts.

Having one giant "glowing ice" icy spike, that is covered in normal packed ice, IMHO would be more complex for less results.

i think you misread that post unless i did. all the packed ice would glow at night. meaning that at night packed ice basically turns into glowing packed ice.

...not craftable... farmable.

So, I realize that packed ice is difficult to obtain and that's on purpose, and that's fine. It's valuable; it should be hard to obtain. But this leads to a major problem in that, in making it difficult to obtain, it's also not renewable, which means that we have to destroy entire biomes in order to get packed ice in any quantity.

So I was wondering if it might be possible to have it both ways - have packed ice be difficult to obtain, and you still have to find an ice spikes biome, but still have it be a renewable (if a bit painstaking) resource.

I'm thinking... have a technique where you put a packed ice block on top of a regular ice block, and one Minecraft day later, you have two packed ice blocks (one on top of the other)? So you'd need packed ice to start with (still need to find an ice spikes biome), AND an ice farm, AND patience? But, on the plus side, it would be renewable.

i agree it should be a renewable source. but i don't really agree on how you say it is. maybe they could just add snow to the biomes if it's not there already. then have the water in that biome freeze to the packed ice. (if there is a hole in this idea that is because i don't play pc minecraft allot. i prefer xbox minecraft.

Looks like they are going to go to 1.8. Looking forward to the update and being able to go and explore a little. Doing my best to not load our whole world but everyone keeps creeping out a little further.

play alone then. and i hope they don't add those annoying blocks that you find in caves. i can't remember the name of the blocks all i know is i don't like any of them.

yeah i agree with GRx that would be the best way in my opinion

I just build what is most convenient to me kinda like 010101b. I like the sunrise more but i noticed that the sunset alligns perfectly with my house making it look like the sun is apart of my house. which i always find cool and amazing to look at.

At least we assume. It wouldn't take too long to make a platform of that size, but I doubt that they'd go out of their way to hype us for something that isn't coming.

well it's already been announced that superflat customization is gonna be a thing next update so it's kinda hard to assume when we already know.

i saw this several minutes ago. look at the dorr it seems a bit brighter then normal i was thinking it's possible that they are also adding colored doors.
