Minecraft: 360 Edition Update Adds Autosaves, More
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is getting an update tomorrow. It doesn't add much in the way of new content, though it addresses a host of problems that players have been wrestling with since the game's May launch.
Some of the biggies include the addition of an optional autosave feature, a coordinate display, and a UI opacity slider. If you've woken up in your little house with a zombie breathing down your neck, you'll be pleased that enemy spawns inside of houses have been fixed. Whew.
Here's the complete list of fixes from PlayXBLA:
Features:
- Added an autosave, and the ability to turn autosave off, or set it from 15 minutes up to 2 hours in 15 minute steps.
- Split the sensitivity controls into an in-game sensitivity and an in-menu sensitivity.
- Added an Interface Opacity slider in the settings for plasma screen users.
- Added a gamertag display in splitscreen, and the ability to enable/disable it in the settings.
- Added an option in the settings menu to enable/disable in-game hints.
- Added an option in the settings menu to enable/disable tooltips.
- Added a co-ordinate display to the in-game map.
- Added new sections in the How To Play on Multiplayer, Sharing Screenshots, and What’s New.
- Added a warning message when attempting to place lava near the spawn area.
