I think a story driven Minecraft game could be cool, why do people on here seem against the idea? It's not like it affects current Minecraft any.

Doesn't seem too farfetched either, after all, they're making a movie.

And they already have an ending.

The story would probably explain those voices that were watching over Steve after he beat the Enderdragon.

I'm guessing it's story drive in the same way The Sims Medieval is.

Okay, I have what's probably a dumb problem/question:

I have Minecraft for the Xbox 360, and I've noticed that there are things I don't have, that others (on youtube) do. In videos that are from a year before I bought my copy this summer.

For example: not only have I not been able to find a Jungle biome, in creative mode there's no jungle wood in the inventory.

Is there something I can do to fix this? Do I have to get an Xbox Live account (and if I do, is there a free version for a broke person like me?)?

Jungles are exclusive to the PC version I believe.

Sounds broken to me, there are jungles in the current xbox version.

Basically, in order for 4j studios (the company that does most of the porting for MC) to plan ahead enough to secure approval from the X Box certification group (which all games have to do), they had to pick a point for a feature freeze; the first version was a reflection of Beta 1.7(ish) (it was announced before 1.0 launched), the next patch caught them up to 1.1, and I don't actually know if they've done patches since then.

Jungles are in the Xbox version. Make sure you have the most recent update installed (if you got the physical retail version it's not the most recent). You can obtain that by launching the game while connected to Xbox Live (only a free account is needed to receive updates and patches). I'm not sure where the option is to turn your profile into a XBL account, but it should be somewhere in the profile settings.

[up]You're way out of date. The most recent update (just a few days ago) brought the consoles up to the equivalent of 1.5/1.6 on the PC. The previous content update (from March) was in name equivalent to 1.3, but included a bunch of content from 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6. They're still playing catchup instead of forging their own path, but they're moving fast.

You know how you sometimes see naturally formed floating islands above cloud level? Well I just found out that if a cloud passes under one, you can see the sun through solid rock because the cloud acts like a slow moving window.

I finally restarted Minecraft. I had the urge to make a castle.

Then I learned about mods, and got really excited about those. But my antivirus freaks out whenever I try to install Forge. Now I can't stop thinking if the game would be more fun with mods.

Try using a premade pack such as those offered by Feed the Beast. All you have to do is install whichever launcher and choose the pack you want to use, and it'll download and set everything up.

Damn adventuring with extreme biomes is tough. Every small hill becomes a huge mountain with deep ravines that force you to go up and down and up and down and up and down. It is painful. And on the same note I am disappointed in the lack of surface tunnels for spelunking. Strip mining is good but I want some real tunnels to dive through.

I guess that's the sacrifice for cool environments for bases.

If at first you don’t succeed, call it version 1.0

Just get down to y-15ish and dig straight for a while, you're bound to break into a cavern before long. Tbh I wish they were less frequent, they ruin my monotonously identical mine shafts :P

If you can't get lost in your own mineshaft, something is very wrong.

[up][up] For any mineshaft construction and any spelunking, I have a system in place. I always place a torch on the right hand wall, excluding torches needed to light up an entire area. If a torch is on the left hand side, I know I'm heading toward the exit.
