Minecraft PC texture packs may come to Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition

4.4
A post on Microsoft’s PlayXLBA site discusses the newfound ability to create texture packs for Minecraft on console, and says “we are going to talk to the teams behind our favourite PC texture sets and see if we can sort something out.”

here is the full post about the subject.

“What about PC textures? they’re easy to do, why don’t you give us those, we want them…now…come on???”
We too love the texture sets that you can get on PC, but it’s not so simple as loving-them-and-it-happens, just because they appear to be ready on PC doesn’t mean we can just bring them to Xbox. There would be a good chunk of work to be done by 4J Studios to make them shine on Xbox and we’d have to make sure we get the proper permissions to be able to actually do it (which also isn’t simple).
What we are saying to you guys is that we are going to talk to the teams behind our favourite PC texture sets and see if we can sort something out. We can’t promise that anything will come from this but we’ll keep the community informed as and when we have some news.

Axe How much do you want to bet that they are going to make people pay for them.


They will probably be the same as the mash-up pack.

Dun Didn't someone on TTG convert pc texture packs from minecraft to xbox 360 minecraft? It only worked for Jtags but it seemed easy to him so why not for 4J?!


Yeah that was me. It's super easy, even for 128x128 packs. 4J studios is just nothing but a bunch of interns.... seriously XD


Haha, you seem to make coding seem really easy!


Yes it is fairly easy to get the texture packs onto the Xbox but it's harder for 4J to go it because they need to go through a lot of contacts just to get permission to use there product and make money off of it

SliceFX They might have to charge because all the legal signings cost a bomb...


You do realize it's nothing more than a simple, "Can we use your work", "Can we make profit off of it." That's it. What's holding them back is that texture packs are fan made and when some company just says "Hey, can we use it and make money off of it?" They aren't gonna like it.

Only problem is that the texture packs are user made, don't think Mojang can just download them and put them on xbox, they'd have to create their own.

Hopefully there are some good texture packs on PC that would be lovely on Xbox.

This would be awesome I always loved using different texture packs on the PC, hopefully since they're doing this they will soon investigate interpreting mods into the game too.
