4J Studios has heard your issues with the current version of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition and will be releasing a new update soon to address bugs and other small issues that are bringing down an otherwise fantastic game.
A month since the 1.8.2 Adventure Update hit the Minecraft scene and we’re still going strong with the game. Although the most current update has been the most fun we’ve had with the game so far, it isn’t without blatant game issues that need to get the boot, STAT. Why are there practically no animals to hunt, but more wild dogs than we can count? How about when we open and close chests do eardrums bleed from the loudness? When has there ever been a thick fog at the bottom of our world? Luckily for us, we’re getting our patch soon!
"Void fog" reduces a regular torch to a mere cigarette lighter while underground.
As of right now, no official date has been stated for this update, but stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks. Again, this isn’t a major title update like the previous one, just a “touch-up” patch on the latest one (don't get too excited for more content). We do, however, have a list items that 4J Studios will be addressing in said update. Take a look:
