4J Studios, the developer responsible for Minecraft's PS3 and Xbox 360 adaptations, has just revealed the changelog for the PS3 edition's patch 1.04 and for the Xbox 360 version's title update 14, confirming the many new things added to the big game.

Minecraft first started life as an alpha project for the PC, built by Markus "Notch" Persson. Since then, he built a new developer, Mojang, and partnered with 4J Studios to bring Minecraft onto more platforms, such as the Xbox 360 or PS3.

Now, after successfully releasing the game on both consoles, 4J has confirmed that a major update is coming to add many new elements but also implement a huge amount of changes and improvements.

On the Xbox 360, Minecraft will get title update 14, while on the PS3 it will receive patch 1.04.

Both updates are the same however and will bring a huge amount of new items, from emeralds, to ender chests, anvils, flower pots, potatoes, carrots, pumpkin pies, various quartz items, or even carpets.

Besides the new items, not to mention recipes and interfaces for them, quite a lot of other improvements are coming to Minecraft on both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 platforms.

From the ability to change the dye on leather armor or wolf collars, to controlling pigs using a carrot on a stick or making them drop more porkchops when they're killed, the patch certainly addresses a lot of wacky problems.
