Minecraft 360

As you guys may have heard, or seen, Minecraft for 360 has come out. I Played the trial and Liked it, although I cant compare it to the PC version. I wasn't able to try the multiplayer but it must be a little good because I heard from one of the kids in my Math Class who bought it and thought it was a good start to it. I do plan on getting the full version in the future, in the meantime I suggest you get the trial. WARNING You can craft some, no weapons or anything that can get you off to a start and you can only play it for a certain amount of time before you disconnect then you need reconnect and it deletes everything.

I tried it out and everything was there from the 1.6.6 update for the PC, so weapons were included. You just had to make them.

It will be worth getting for the split screen mode offline possibly now if you don't plan on being home much this summer yet having your Xbox, but otherwise I'd say wait until they add what they said they would within the year.

I;m hopefully getting it tonight

PC or 360? Cause the PC one is what you should get.

Agreed. Get the PC version. It's a lot better at the moment.

Can you even connect to servers with the Xbox multiplayer? I don't think you can. They say they'll add things in later but who knows how long that will take, if they even follow through at all.

They say they will, which with Microsoft means a year or two... Took that long for YouTube after confirming it.

I was originally going to trick my mom into taking me to publix to buy food(I was really going to buy a Microsoft points gift card) but I got an award for Altar Server of the year so I tricked into giving me Microsoft points(enough to buy Minecraft for XBOX without her knowledge of what I buy but only the points). SO I bought Mincraft 360 and LOVE it. I WILL get the PC version only if I get straight A's. I Currently have 3 B's but they will be A's

the 360 version is written in C# i highly doubt that they will make it playable on PC servers because the PC version is written in Java which has absolutely no compatibility with C#. to have a server up in for the 360 you have to host a game that can only support 8 simultaneous players. to be able to have a server running 24/7 you have to be running it on an xbox with a viable xbox live account.

personally i think that the 360 version of the game turned out incredibly well after such a language change. the movement and physics of the game are almost completely identical between versions. i believe the two will develop in paralell, but they will never be the same as far as features and functionality; unfortunately unless they completely rebuild the PC version to use C# which would be painful for everyone, especially modders and the bukkit/spout devs, the two versions have no hope of ever being compatible or of being the same exact game.

im going to stick with the xbox version with david and ray

When I first started Playing I was getting frustrated cuz I couldn't craft any weapons, it turned out that I needed to craft a workbench. I Have currently set up a sea side cottage and House In the hills. Ive only traveled through two biomes, one of them was in a boat but not the entire way when I had to travel back before it became to dark. I ended up crashing the boat several times so I had to carry a portable workbench instead of the ones I keep at my houses. They have windows in them and torches they are also made of wood and have a bed so I can have it day quicker. But I have one question though.
How does Wood catch on fire? Im afraid my torches inside the house will catch it on fire and burn it down

You do know theres multiplayer... Online.

No one joins my server, So far I have three bases set up. I have four wolves too, I originally had one but.... IT DIED TRYING TO SAVE ME FROM A SPIDER His funeral was so beautiful, I even made a grave. RIP Scruffy

Oh, and if you want, I can make a Shining Epiphany server, although.I can only guarantee that 7 other people can have land
