Released: May 9th, 2012

Features:
- First release, ported to Xbox as Minecraft Beta 1.6.6
- Uses the newer game sounds from "The Sound Update"
- One 1.0.0 feature (face view)
- Tutorial mode added.
- Up to 4 players locally (requires HDTV A/V + HDMI or component cable)
- Up to 8 players online
- Simplified crafting system

Notable bugs:
- Pouring water from a bucket may cause it to either leave an extra water source, or leave no water source when pouring the water out, sometimes you can pick up the water source by picking it up in the same spot you have poured it over.
- Crafting a cake does not return the buckets.
- Passive mobs sometimes can't be damaged when they are standing in tall grass.
- Stairs sometimes appear as a full block.
- Spiders will sometimes lose their ability to move when they are hit in tall grass.
- Game crashes whenever 2 (and possibly more) players finishing mining the same block.
- Game crashes whenever a player changes a filter to what might be Worldwide.
- Sugarcane are solid (You can't walk through them).
- Mobs sometimes do not take damage when hit on the legs and your tool's durability is lowered.
- Sometimes the game freezes while saving the world.
- Sometimes the game freezes when a player enters a Nether Portal.
- When you try and save the game when one or more people are in a different dimension, it can crash.
- If you try to join a game from a game invite when you are already in a game, it will sometimes freeze.
- If your saved game is on the cloud and you lose your connection to Xbox Live, the game defaults to player 1 and the hard drive. (Meaning that if you are playing split screen and you are using player 2's world then it will transfer ownership of the world to player 1.)
Taking a screen shot when not playing an online game (unchecking the online checkbox when loading world) will cause the game to disconnect from the server, losing all unsaved data.
Sometimes when opening the crafting area and either going through, or quitting the crafting tutorial will cause the game to freeze.

Released:June 15th, 2012

Notable bugs:
- A Boat can be pushed through solid blocks and appear solid black. While black they cannot be destroyed. You must break the block that it is stuck in to make it return to the proper texture color and breakable.
Occasional game freezes (in Multiplayer Only?) just prior to auto-save when running game for several hours straight.
- When digging through Sand, some blocks will visually dissapper but will still be there when attempting to dig. When a user digs through the visually missing block to another block different from Sand (Ex. Cobblestone) the game will continue to produce the sound signifying the player is digging through Sand although the user is digging through a different block. This will continue until the user either switches tools or places a block down and then breaks the block that has been placed down.
- Duplication from the dispenser still hasn't been fixed. You can still duplicate it is just more difficult.
- A glitch may occur that makes blocks 'respawn' after being 'broken.' The block makes all visual indications of damage, and the appropriate sounds, but are in truth taking no damage. After the animation for 'breaking' is finished, 'broken' blocks disappear without spawning a pickup item, and then reappear approx. one second later. This glitch also expands to mobs, in that they make sounds and flash red, but do not get knocked back or actually take any damage. However, 'breaking' the blocks still uses up your tools and weapons as normal.
