Minecraft Launch Trailer

Minecraft Launch Trailer

Crafty overview of tutorial and multiplayer

Written by Nose 0ver Tail on 04 May 12 at 20:30

With the release of Minecraft just a few short days away, we're given a better look at the title with the launch trailer, and an overview of the tutorial and multiplayer features.







With Minecraft for Xbox 360, you no longer need to search through a massive wiki on account of their new crafting interface. Actually, it looks as though they've made the entire experience much more user friendly. For example, the first time you come upon an item, you'll be given info on its title and use. The biggest feature however, has to be the new multiplayer mode. With up to four player split-screen and eight online, it looks to be a fun and intimate addition.

Minecraft for Xbox 360 is set to release on May 9th on XBLA for 1600MSP. Check out the Arcade NEXT promotion article for more details if you missed them.

How will Online Servers work?

I have a few friends over XBL and we all plan on picking this up but will our world save? Will it work if the one who hosts (or starts) the server is offline?

I've looked into this alot and the best I can tell is that there wont be online servers. You create a map, invite your friends, but when your gone so is your world. Your hosting it on your Xbox, so when your offline or just not in your world, your world may as well not exist.

Find a friend whos going to be on alot and have them host.

This looks so much easier and relaxing than the PC version. I hate running minecraft on 10fps on my PC. I will definitely buy this when i get the money.
