While most of you were busy mining and enchanting away in your block worlds, we finally got word on the patch notes for the upcoming 8th Title Update for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition. Don’t worry: there’s no need to start a whole new world this time around.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has been one of the most frequently updated XBLA title to date, and for the right reasons. With all the changes needed to be made to make this game on par with the PC version, the next patch to occur, Title Update 8, will pave the way for “The End” to make a triumphant appearance in Title Update 9. We’ll say it again: this update will not host the infamous Ender Dragon boss that practically everyone is looking forward to. Instead, we have a healthy dose of fixes to smooth out the current gaming experience from Title Update 7. Take a quick look below to see what will be changing and plan accordingly:
