Trivia
- The Minecraft map is actually 864x864, meaning there is 746496 square meters in a map, and in turn nearly 75 hectares (100x100 blocks) and 188 acres (63x63 blocks).
- In this version the Ender Dragon spits Ender Acid, which makes it the only version of Minecraft to include that feature.
- The Xbox 360 Edition will never be the same as the PC version as 4J Studios adds many things from multiple versions of Minecraft, more on the Xbox 360 version history can be found here.
- In this version, some of the Ender Crystals in the End are caged by Iron Bars.
- All the items found in the Nether in this version of the game are renewable since the Nether can be reset.
- 4J Studios stated that they are considering on adding objects that would be exclusive to the Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft to make up for the game being behind that of the PC version.
- Minecraft for the Xbox 360 is the only version of the game to receive Texture Packs that are fully supported by 4J Studios and Mojang.
- If one was able to break the last layer of bedrock in the Overworld by hacking, the bedrock will be replaced with an invisible block.
- Arrows can get passed through this block and water flowing down will just disappear past that block, it will not spread (counts with lava).
- In older versions of the game, if one found a hole in the bedrock floor, they can fall into the void, but before they died, the client would freeze up.
- It is unknown whether the removed Human Mob is in the older versions of this version. The only way to test it is to hack the game and get mob spawners and then put the Human mob into the spawner to try to spawn it.
- The Giant mob is added in the game.
- It can be spawned by using mob spawners or spawn eggs through editing.
- All disc versions of the Xbox 360 edition are automatically set at TU9.
Trivia
- Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition was added to the Xbox Arcade download section in Nov. 2011, although it was only possible to download the "It`s here!" trailer. Nonetheless, the entry held very high ratings.
