4J Studios has released the first screenshot of Minecraft Xbox 360's forthcoming title update 9. Don't set your underpants on fire just yet - it's a picture of a menu. But that menu does contain the very first console-based Spawn Egg.
It's not all good news. 4J has confirmed that Ocelots and jungle biomes won't appear in the update, whose chief contributions to Minecrafting are (1) an utterly desolate alternate dimension, and (2) a massive dragon, residing in said utterly desolate alternate dimension. You can read more about both the latter in our Minecraft Xbox 360 update 9 survival guide. A number of other, currently unknown new features are in store.
"We're hard at work on TU9, still lots to do," the developer added in a tweet. The new Minecraft update will release next month at the very earliest.

does that , need to be there? (my inner, and often incorrect, grammar nazi rising up there)
But cool that they're working hard on it and its nearly out, kudos for Mojang not abandoning it for the pc version - texture packs are still my priority though

Too late dude, too late
Looking forward to this update even though all the more interesting stuff isn't in it. Finally my Skyrim dragon killing skills will be of use!
