Twigz Xbox is quickly catching up with pc...


In my opinion, it will never catch up with PC unless it can find a way of integrating mods.


I think it will eventually catch up, they could easily do it if they wanted to...


So how do you think that they will allow mods and custom texture packs etc.? It's physically impossible, as you have to edit the game itself!


4J Studios would have to create them, which I can't see them doing. Or mod makers would have to work with 4J so they can port their mods over, which I also can't see them doing because it takes them long enough to update on PC.

About time too, this took longer than the creative update I think

I had a feeling of an early release. The game was approved two days ago, so why wait the extra 3 days just to release it, release it. Now Mojang needs to start converting to arcade game into a disc game so I can play on my banned xbox, miss minecraft :(
