Minecraft for Xbox 360 will receive two major updates in the near future, according to developer 4J Studios, which has just confirmed a few more details about the popular game.

Minecraft took the world by storm on the PC platform and is currently earning lots of money and fans on the Xbox 360 console, thanks to a special port made by 4J Studios.

The developer has now explained on Twitter a few of the upcoming patches for the game, including Title Update 7 and 8.

According to the studio, Update 7 will bring a variety of new things, including an enchantment system, as well as a new player leveling system. Things like Spawn Eggs, Iron Golems, Ocelots, or jungles won't be included in Update 7, however.

4J also revealed that the long-awaited The End zone, in which players battle a giant dragon in the Hell dimension, would be included in Title Update 8.

As of yet, however, the two patches still don't have actual release dates.

If all they really wanted was our money they would charge us for the updates but they are free. And yes it is a little buggy but the came is freaking awesome. Sometimes those bugs even help you out. Have to take the good with the bad just like any other game. It was well worth the $20 the I spent on it. Keep up the good work 4J Studios.

It would be so much better if the updates came out in a timely manner. I feel like I wasted my money on an incomplete game. I know the updates are to fix that. But still, I cannot help but feel like 4J is procrastinating on this because they are soaking up all that dough they are raking in. They really need to buckle down on this because I am tired of waiting. However, if waiting means a better system without bugs than that is fine. I just get the feeling that they are being blinded by all that money and are totally forgetting about the "fanbouys on this. But, that may be the last game I buy by 4J. If this is the kind of service they offer to console gamers than they can kiss my big toe. Id rather play Battelfield 3 any way.

* right! (apart from the battlefield part ;) call me an old geek but when I was a kid you would find glitches in games but they were an amusing novelty. I just can't quite get over the sheer number of bugs and glitches in this game. And I hate to say it but despite the nice things they added with the last update, I find I've got even more bugs and glitches since. It felt like the update came with a virus or something. However harsh it seems I think they should be ashamed of themselves for failing to spend even five minutes checking their work for bugs. (that's how long it took me to find 2 bugs in the update) I feel so torn, I absolutely love minecraft and the bugs won"t keep me away, just * me off. But like you say, it does feel like they care more about making money than doing a professional job, and that will make me think twice before buying another game by Mojang.
