Minecraft Xbox 360 update 7 bug fix to release in January

Sorts out Nether Fortress spawn problems, among other things

This little factoid's from December - sorry, we were too busy ingesting unhealthy quantities of sherry and roast potato to write about it. 4J Studios is working on a bug fix for the most recent Minecraft Xbox 360 update, tackling a number of problems such as the non-appearance of new features in pre-existing Minecraft worlds.

"We've been working on bug fixes for some problems people have found in TU7," observes a tweet. "A new update with fixes will be released in January." Among other tweaks, the developer "is going to change the code to ensure you get a Nether Fortress, Blazes and Nether Wart in the Nether in a new world".

How are you getting on with the latest version of Minecraft? Brewed any tasty potions lately? And what's the most powerful enchantment you've conjured?

  1. I hope 4j studios works on some of the breeding issues, such as the animals endlessly following each other in circles, chickens circling you when attempting to feed them seed making it difficult to target them and corraled animals despawning.

  2. Thank Flipping Dippers. Me and Gary the chicken will have lots more fun now his brothers stop disapering! Thanks 4J! :D

  3. The breeding update is great, even if the animals are a little derpy about it all. My main issue is with the crazy amount of extra animals that spawn. I had a fair sized sheep farm, since they don't eat grass and regrow their wool. There was a pair for almost every color available, and in conjunction I also had a small beef farm. With all the extra animals that spawn, I removed the beef farm cuz I don't need the breeding to get a lot of food that way. But with the over abundance of all the rest, it lags my game so much I can be 40 layers underground mining and blocks I break take up to 5sec to fully drop. I would like to see the limit on animals come back. That was removed in the patch after animals no longer despawned. What's the point of breeding if more and more animals are going to keep spawning in no matter the size of your captured farms?

  4. :cry: 4J STUDIOS PLEASSSS PUT SPAWN EGSSSSSSSSSSS :cry:

  5. I have some major issues with minecraft at the moment one of them is not being able to find blazes on some worlds the other is when ever i mine a block it re spawns and if i hit it again i dont get the drop. This makes it impossible to go mining.

  6. Great stuff as the Nether fortress and blazes doesn't seem limited to new worlds for me.I couldn't find one in my old world nether so started again and when i finally had some Obsidian and went back there was still nothing.Also as mentioned i have the mining bug and doors are a bit bugged as well now.Really enjoying the enchanting though really makes armour and weapons last longer.Pity i haven't been able to do any brewing though.

  7. Problems :evil:

    its normally because you kill them normally if you dont kill them they dont spawn if you kill any animal another one will respawn
    im not to sure if that is the case with wolves
