Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition Gets Updated Today
With Minecraft now on Xbox live, console gamers can finally start to appreciate the constant updates that Notch and company provide for the game. The first of which is coming out later today. You’ll see fixes for existing issues, and a few new features.
On the feature side, one of the most notable is the ability to autosave. You can choose intervals between 15 minutes and 2 hours, or none at all. Others include changes to sensitivity settings, being able to display gamertags in splitscreen and more.
As for fixes, players will no longer have to be worried when trying to enter the Nether (well, beyond the fact that you’re actually going into the Nether), as you’ll no longer have the chance to be spawned above the Nether, rather than in it. Frame rate drops, enemies being spawned inside houses and achievements not being awarded properly were all fixed, along with a host of other minor issues. The full list of features and fixes is below:
