Minecraft Xbox 360 Gameplay and Update: Add-Ons to Include Trading, Anvils, Carrots, and More
The Minecraft game for the Xbox 360 has become a best-seller, and the newest update for the Xbox 360 version will be including several highly anticipated features from the PC version, which users will recognize such as NPC trading and anvils.
The complete list of updates includes: rotated logs; jungle temples; carrot on a stick; nether quartz; emeralds; baked potatoes; desert temples; desert villages; smooth and chiseled sandstone; cobblestone walls; anvils; tripwires; and pumpkin pies.
Minecraft's console developer 4J Studios posted on Twitter last night "@jschwert57 TU14 is going fine! We'll post shots later this week of the revised Creative interface, and the new Trading & Anvil interfaces," confirming the inclusion of NPC trading and anvils in the upcoming Title Update 14. This most recent update means players can trade NPC villagers for items in return for emeralds, a major block type that is finally coming to the console. Anvils, of course, allow you to repair items and combine enchantments.
Several other additions to the game are anticipated to be on the way, such as tripwires, carpet, nether quartz and Ender Chests, which allow you to access stored items from multiple locations. Eurogamer reports that "A wider range of food is also coming -- including potatoes, baked potatoes, carrots and pumpkin pies. Yum."
The Minecraft Xbox 360 game is created by the console developer called 4J Studios. Players of the PC version of Minecraft are familiar with the numerous changes in gameplay that keep the game constantly fresh and improving. 4J Studios is rumored to be working on a new version of Minecraft for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which will no doubt receive many purchases, although the exact release date is unclear. Mojang works on the PC, Mac, and mobile versions.
