minecraft on xbox

This is the only thing i have managed to figure out how to construct on my own with pistons.



Its a machine that constantly moves a sand block in a square..
As i said, the only idea ive made that hasnt been shamelessly robbed from youtube.

This large structure suddenly appeared out of nowhere recently



I have no idea what caused it. It's taller than cloud level and it has blocks of bedrock, iron and gold scattered throughout.



Has anything like that popped up for anyone else?

It popped up after reload. It seems to be a permanent fixture of the world now.

Yeah, it happened after the update. I loaded up a new world using the same seed and it didn't appear in that world.

There's actually another structure similar to it not too far from it.

4j studios tweeted that the adventure update will be out once Microsoft has done testig it.

Cant wait for the 1.8.2 update
Creative mode >>>

I downloaded it. Loving Creative mode. It's great to be able to build what I want without having to mine for materials.

Unfortunately, I had already explored all three of my worlds so I had to start a new world to get some of the villages to spawn. Villages are okay, not much in them. There were very few animals around which made keeping my food level up a pain. Especially with a load of enemies around at night. Plenty of wolves though, for some reason.

Cool bridge. The new block designs look great on it, a lot better than cobblestone would.

Gamertag is The Hobo 87.

Me and gis89lfc have been mad hard at work the last few days making a city off my previously posted bridge.

Oblig pair shot:



We built twin towers, a new york style apartment block, a tower that looks like a rocket, a very wide public building/library type building and assorted office buildings.
Oh and a coffee shop and a bus stop too.




Not bad when this was how we started out on sunday evening:




Anyone wanna join us and make a stake in our city? I've hit a bit of a creative block (:pac:) today so can't figure out what to make next.

Is this available on disc or is it just download with MS Points?

One of the kids wants it for Christmas from Santa. Big trouble if only via MS Points.

Thanks, thought as much.
Had already worked out the Ms Points download thingy, but I know the other lad will probably want to play it as well, so I guess in the end it'll mean having to download it twice.

Damn, that looks really good! Haven't played Xbox Minecraft in a while. I'd give you a hand if I see you playing sometime soon.

I'm in a bit of a lazy/day off mode today if you're about later?
