Minecraft XBLA considering mods, diverging from PC after 1.8.2
"This isn't something that will be coming with 1.8.2, but will be further down the line," 4J Chief Technology Officer Paddy Burns tells Hookshot Inc. "The Xbox 360 won't be able to have the mod system that gives such a variety of community additions to the game on PC, but we're looking at the elements of these that people seem to be enjoying the most, and deciding how we could tailor those elements into something for Xbox."
Xbox 360 players are based in a living room, using a controller, and this fundamentally alters the way they interact with the game, Burns says. "We need to ensure that whatever we do is right for that audience."
Minecraft XBLA may diverge from its PC parentage in big ways in the future. "We're going to be discussing with Mojang where we go after version 1.2.3," Burns says. "Some ideas of taking the game in a different direction from PC having been raised already."

I hope the mods are decent ones, hopefully something like the tekkit/technic pack would be really cool!

I can't wait for this update and I wonder what they mean when they say that it will diverge for the PC version.

BLacKoUTz-xL when will the update come out?
Possibly soon, 4J said that they don't even know when it'll be released when the update itself is sent to the Microsoft Certification Team.
