Next Minecraft Xbox Update will not be the Adventure Update

Posted in minecraft

According to 4J Studios, the next update for the Minecraft Xbox 360 edition will not be the Adventure Update (aka version 1.8). Instead it looks like we'll get Beta version 1.7.3 of Minecraft.

It's great to hear that 4J Studios are already talking about updates even though the games only been out a week or so. They're aiming to update the Xbox version to the next major PC milestone (after 1.6.6). This takes us within one step of the Adventure Update. So although, we won't see any of the fantastic Adventure Update features just yet, they'll soon be with us.

What new features will be included in the next Minecraft Xbox update?



Version 1.7.3 was a pretty big release in itself. If you were a PC fan at the time then you got all of these lovely features:

  • Pistons - the pushing pulling things that make Redstone even more exciting and fun
  • Shears - go collect some wool from the sheep
  • Clay generation bug - fixed
  • New textures for Cobbelstone and Brick blocks
  • Silverfish skin added (but mob not actually seen during the game)
  • Fences can be stacked
  • TNT must be activated with redstone or flint and steel
