Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is already pretty cool, but it’s about to get even better. 

The team at 4J and Mojang are cooking up a sizeable update for the game, fixing a bunch of issues and introducing loads of new features. Expect more too, as just as in the PC version we’re expecting a constant stream of new stuff. This is just the beginning.

Below you’ll find the update notes. No release date just yet.

Features:

* Added an autosave, and the ability to turn autosave off, or set it from 15 minutes up to 2 hours in 15 minute steps.

* Split the sensitivity controls into an in-game sensitivity and an in-menu sensitivity.

* Added an Interface Opacity slider in the settings for plasma screen users.

* Added a gamertag display in splitscreen, and the ability to enable/disable it in the settings.

* Added an option in the settings menu to enable/disable in-game hints.

* Added an option in the settings menu to enable/disable tooltips.

* Added a co-ordinate display to the in-game map.

* Added new sections in the How To Play on Multiplayer, Sharing Screenshots, and What’s New.

* Added a warning message when attempting to place lava near the spawn area.

Fixes:

* Fix for the leaderboard crash when toggling between filters/leaderboards.

* Fix for server disconnect message appearing when offline or in leaderboards.

* Fix for issue where posting a screenshot to Facebook caused a back out to the main menu.

* Fix for clay generation.

* Fix for ‘Awaiting Approval’ showing all the time on some signs.

* Various crafting menu fixes.

* Fix for being able to stand on sugarcane.

* Fix for intermittent crash on saving.

* Fix for duplication bug with the furnace.

* Fix for not being able to place water near the spawn area.

* Fix for intermittent problem on entering the Nether putting the player above the Nether world.

* Fix for frame-rate drop around the edge of the world.

* Fix for intermittent problem where some achievements were not being awarded.

* Fix for graphical issue with stairs.

* Fix for issue with enemies spawning inside a house when they shouldn’t.

* Fix for Zombie Pigmen not being counted for leaderboard scores.

I don't know what the duplication bug with the furnace is but it looks like they haven't fixed the duplication trick that many do know about.

my main save locks up everytime I try to enter the nether. this hopefully fixes that. But it looks like I'll have to restart a new one if a clay fix is also included

@6 no there is a glitch that allows you to use a furnace to smelt infinite iron/gold and whatever else you can still in the top box.

It still uses coal but gives unlimited ingots

Oh, Well maybe thats easier to fix than the other method. Is it possible to do the other duplication technique in the PC version? (Just wondering if it has been fixed in an update on the PC, or if it is solely an Xbox glitch)

Too bad they aren't going to fix a bug I have. When I save and quit the game and I load my game all my stuff from my inventory is gone and I spawn back at my original spawn point.

Kinda sucks to put all my stuff in a chest before quitting the game. Also, I always have to quit in my house.

As others have said, I wasn't aware of any furnace duplication glitch, but I have been utilizing the other one...I too am wondering if this is a typo...I would hate to see the glitch get patched, because its basically allowing me to play this game in creation mode. Of course, if they give us creation mode...

sadly, if they fix the duplication glitch... i will stop playing this game.

I only play it to build ridiculous things.. i've built 2 towers legit, and it took forever.. ever since ive built like 2 towns and a railway going through my world plus an underground city. I play it more now, knowing that there is a duplication glitch.

There is a 4J representative that posts on gamefaqs that has stated that all of the known dupe bugs are getting fixed.

So fill your chests while you still can!

So is this 1.73 that people have been banging on about, or just an update outside of the normal MineCraft ones?

#20, I am anticipating a patch, so I created a treasure room with about 100 chests, and I am currently trying to fill them up with blocks in between building. I am assuming these chests will still be filled after the fix...The main reason I am doing this is because I have a lot of friends who build in my world and I want there to be plenty of supplies.

Finally an update... I kind of felt ripped off for getting the retard version for 1600msp... Then again, I didn't read much into it, if I did, I would have known, so I guess it's my fault !

And they could have been more creative with the achievements. So much possibilities, and then we got this.

I find the game freezes quite often when playing split-screen. The other player jumps in or out and game over. Hopefully that will get fixed.

Nice to get fixes, but I wish they would hurry to add all the features PC already has. Hopefully future updates will include more Features as there are less bugs to fix. I do wish they'd give us a "fix" that made iron, gold, and other materials underground easier to find. I find a ton of coal, a decent about of gold, but practically no iron and have yet to see ANY diamond. and I've done a LOT of digging. I spend most of the time in the game digging tunnel's.
