The first update has not been released yet. You are confusing patches with updates.

Basically in the end we will get a copy of Minecraft that is up to 1.2.3. No one knows what will come after that.

After 1.2.3, I think they will deserve more money because of how much work it is/will take to re-code everything. I hope they will update this as closely to the pc game as possible and charge us REASONABLY (MS shouldn't take advantage).

A bit off topic: anyone else notice OUYA which should support Minecraft? Vid below.

I think its a mini console setup to your tv that connects with its controllers ideal for freeware type games. the video I posted was released yesterday with an expected release of March 2013. Their Kickstarter has over triple what they expected to need to start. They has another video on their Kickstarter linked here that explains more.. and on their site it answers quiet a few questions. I'm hoping for the best

just to clear the confusion about the charging etc, if things a4re released as updates on the 460 (same thing as patches in this context btw) they d not and cannot charge players for them, so anything minecraft release as an update will be free to us

when they talk about charging fr them they are talking about the excessive sums of money that microsoft charge the developers to patch their games

these things are totally unreleated to DLC which is what they can choose to charge the players for

it´s a handy build as a console (no joke)... the hardware is a little bit better than 360 and it´s open source...

it will run with Android 4.0...
it´s a little bit console and some multimedia stuff, but open like PC...

äähhhhhmmm and it´s a cube...!!!

Front page is updated! And I'll update it tomorrow again for what's coming in 1.8.2 I actually already have a list made up!

Though my plan to have this thread so people don't make a bunch of other threads about the updates seems to have failed. Oh well.

[Sm0keytrip0d]

yay...now all i need to do is work out how to get slime to spawn ready for making sticky pistons :3

[Fechdog]

Awesome! I can't wait to learn how to use pistons.

Things will be a bit easier (or at least more efficient) since they're adding a seed display. You should then be able to take your seed and enter it into one of the online slime chunk finders to locate where to dig your slime farm. I'm definitely looking forward to that. I've had no luck at all digging out random spawn rooms.

ive actually not bothered looking for slimes yet as i assumed they were being released with pistons and are just rare

now it seems they are rarer then i thought if its possible to locate them before the update

It takes a lot of work to make a proper Slime factory. basically make a 60x3x60 cave system at y = 7 and light it up and you should beginning to get slime

not forgetting to find an old version of the programs that works with this version, the codes been updated several times since 1.7.3

except thats not in anyway guaranteed to find you slimes and you could mine that massive area fr no reason

60*60 is only 4 chunks and slimes spawn in 10% of all chunks.. or close enough anyway

so with that area your not giving yourself that much chance for them to spawn

From what I've read online, both of these work for the xbox version. I've yet to try them out since I'm on a random seed but I'm hoping that they do.

You know you are playing by the new rules right? If I remember correctly slime spawn more frequently in older version of the game like this one.

All I know is it worked for me twice so apparently I'm extremely lucky.

Just because it's coming on the 13th doesn't mean it's coming at midnight wherever you are. It probably won't be here until much later (especially considering its only 10PM on the 12th here.

Someone really should post when it does go live though (and if the skin pack came with it) since I will probably be asleep. I'll update when I wake up.

[Patrik73]

well they said 2am UTC and that means 4am GMT+1. So it should be out already.

But its the same everytime something is released, they say a time and never makes it in time.

Im just going to wait and go and put a new floor in a bedroom

[Arrie3]

i created a 40x4x40 at bedrock level and didnt light up at all and there spawn all types of monster including slimes you just have to wait at tthe spawn and slimes will be spawning i prefer torching up the corners. They always spawn near the torches, so i think they spawn where enough light is. Torchers dont have affect on the spawn of slimes..

4AM GMT = 5AM EST (dunno if ur +1 means plus an hour but if it does that would mean 6AM EST) 6 AM EST is about 4 hours away, 5 AM EST is about 3 hours away. it should not be out yet. right now it is 2:12 EST

[Arrie3]

2AM UTC means for me
UTC ( )vrijdag, 13 juli 2012, 02:00:00
UTCRotterdam (Netherlands)vrijdag, 13 juli 2012, 04:00:00 CESTUTC+2 hours
and its now 8;19 and thats ehm 4;19 to late, still havent seen the update

[A ZombieTwinkie]

I wish I could be farming slimes....

Stupid game not loading....

The update cannot come quick enough.

See the whole UCT/GMT to your current time zone is really odd.

If the update is supposed to roll out 2 AM UCT my time zone CST is 6 hours behind it. So that means, the update was supposed be out at 8PM I think.

I dunno it is very confusing sometimes. Either way, usually in the past updates didn't happen till around 4 to 5 AM EST. If not around 6 to 7 AM EST.

I guess it'll be out when it comes out. Can't wait for the pistons though...finally.....been going back and forth between pc and xbox.

[timpan195]

the update is now released cause i just downloaded it and the skin pack hasn't come yet and it is also confirmed because i have other friends that have downloaded the update too

Yep I've been playing around with the pistons for about 30 mins now. Pretty awesome sucks though as I can make them in my old save but in order to get slimes for sticky pistons I had to start a new world correct?

Or at least hope that my old save would spawn them on easy...sigh.

I already know a few of these like who ms. and mr. splosion are but no clue about the scientists or the trails characters.

The scientists are from Splosion Man and Ms Splosion man, and from the looks of it, the trials character is 1 from Trials HD and the rest from Evolution. Not 100
% on the trials ones though
