Minecraft, Xbox vs PC

Minecraft. The biggest sand box you'll ever play in.

Starting May 9th 2012, Mojang let Minecraft out onto the Xbox. I just want to let out my opinions on the differences on the two.

Items

the PC version of Minecraft is definitely the most used version, and has the most possibilities when you play.
Some good talking points are the fact that there are tons of new blocks in PC vs Xbox.
PC has a total of 420 since the 1.4.8 update.
Xbox has way less items

Crafting:

Lots of people like the new "automatic crafting" on the xbox version. this allows you to create items with the touch of a button, as long as you have the materials.

The original version of crafting (brought to the game in the Beta version 1.2, January 13, 2011.)
This meant that the player had to manually put blocks in a 3x3 grid to create different items.

Controls

PC uses the "wasd" controls for moving (you can change this whenever you want in the pause menu)
When I rest my hand on my keyboard, it automatically goes to my "wasd" along with my pinky on the shift key and my thumb on the space bar.

Xbox uses the joy stick to control where your cursor is, (where you're facing) and the extra buttons for the place block and destroy block controls.

I honestly play Minecraft PC the most, because it's more complex (as complex as a world made entirely of blocks can get) Later on, if i have to, I will do a review on Tekkit (Minecraft on steroids) and the vanilla version of Minecraft.

  1. I like all the added blocks and features and larger world of the PC version, but much prefer the crafting interface on the xbox. For me it doesn't add any enjoyment, just time, to have to manually place items in the grid.

    The other reason I prefer the xbox version is they make playing and chatting with a friend so dead-simple that I appreciate that as well.

    I assume there is some mod out there for the PC that gives an xbox-like crafting interface, and if I found it I'd play the PC version a lot more.

  3. Although I don't know much about Minecraft you really explain it well. There is a lot of different reasons given to choose between Xbox or PC. I can't really say which one I would use because I don't plan on playing it in the future, but if I do, I will pick PC because it seems to be working for you! Keep going!

  13. Everything said was very reasonable. However, what about this?
    suppose you wrote a catchier title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added something that grabbed people's attention?
    I mean "Minecraft, Xbox vs PC" is a little vanilla. You could glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they create article headlines to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers interested about everything've written.
    Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little bit more interesting.
