Minecraft Store now displays the prices in the local currency, rather than Microsoft Points. Fixed some redstone issues. Notable Bugs Entering an exit End Portal will cause the player to spawn in an Overworld void with an empty inventory, and the game crashes after the player hits an invisible floor. This void looks the same as the one a PC player sees when teleporting to unexplored land (the blue blankness before the world resolves) however if the player is in creative and flies (thus never hitting the invisible floor) the world never resolves no matter how long the player waits. So essentially going to The End in TU13 renders that map unusable. Hand animation while holding blocks or items is somewhat glitched while placing and breaking blocks or hurting mobs. When the player dies the game sometimes crashes. When players exit a level game crashes. Biomes in old worlds may change to make room for the Jungle biome. (The biome will change, spawning cats, but no terrain will change unless it hasn't been explored before) (No planned fixes yet) When a certain distance from chests the lock will disappear until you get closer. For some reason if you have a nether portal placed above the original height limit, when you exit from the nether it will spawn and exit you from a portal somewhere else. Iron Golems refuse to attack players even when their creator is attacked. chests may become invisible unless reopened. iron doors make wood door opening closing sound when trying to open with your fist. ( to prevent a crash ) Save your world before exiting and saving, then exit with out saving. There shouldn't be any crashes. When sneaking on a block in a cave in a lava pit, sneak walking toward the lava will set the player on fire with out the player being in the lava When sprinting in a cave 1 block wide, the player sometimes goes through the block, the fall hack. when you fall off of a tall building and exit the world as you fall rejoining will make the player deal no damage while the fall comes to an end. Magma cubes rarely drop any magma cream upon death Arrows from a bow cannot activate wooden buttons. Piston texture is partially glitched, and can reduce your redstone performance. When farming animals they sometimes get sucked into the ground or in the fence. When a player is killed by the impact of a fire charge from a dispenser the death message reads:"{playername} was fireballed by" You can see chests through walls when approaching a building.
TU12 Xbox 360 - 1.5	1.2.3	Xbox 360 - August 23, 2013	1.5 General: Texture pack support Mash-up pack support 'Mash-up pack' will be a combination of resources (textures, BGMs, and so on) and "themed worlds" (world data).

Glass, Glass Panes, and Ice can not be obtained with a Silk Touch Pickaxe Hostile Mobs can detect the player through walls. Bugged block/entity is unknown. Biomes in old worlds may change to make room for the Jungle biome. Redstone Lamps shut down but the lit area does not darken.

Iron Golems don't attack Slimes or Magma Cubes Missing textures on fences when connected on two or more sides. Falling rain does not make sound in some areas. Cut down a tree and the shadow of the tree remains in full daylight. When starting to using a Crafting table, Enchantment Table, Furnace, Chest etc. the game can freeze temporarily. In Creative, Doors, TNT, Mob Head, Minecart (With Chest and Furnace) when broken are multiplied. Tamed Wolfs while sitting down, if run into a wall, will stand up and will be stuck in the standing position, the player can not make the wolf sit back down until the Wolf gets hurt. Wooden Doors when opened with the player's hand make the sound of the door opening twice, if the player has something in his hand, this effect is not given. Iron Doors still give off the opening/closing sound effect when trying to open them like a normal wooden door without redstone. Sometimes while in the Nether, in a completely enclosed space light will come from nowhere until you update the blocks around the area. Ghast fireballs sometimes freeze in mid-air for a few seconds, then explode. Framerate issues while in the Nether When in Creative Mode, attacking an Iron Golem will not provoke it to attack you.

Up to 4 players locally (requires HDTV A/V + HDMI or component cable) Up to 8 players online Simplified crafting system Notable bugs: Pouring water from a bucket may cause it to either leave an extra water source, or leave no water source when pouring the water out, sometimes you can pick up the water source by picking it up in the same spot you have poured it over. Crafting a cake does not return the buckets. Passive mobs sometimes can't be damaged when they are standing in tall grass. Stairs sometimes appear as a full block. Spiders will sometimes lose their ability to move when they are hit in tall grass. Game crashes whenever 2 (and possibly more) players finishing mining the same block. Game crashes whenever a player changes a filter to what might be Worldwide. Sugarcane are solid (You can't walk through them). Mobs sometimes do not take damage when hit on the legs and your tool's durability is lowered. Sometimes the game freezes while saving the world. Placing an item in a dispenser or furnace and spamming it while someone else breaks it will cause a massive duplication glitch. Sometimes the game freezes when a player enters a Nether Portal. When you try and save the game when one or more people are in a different dimension, it can crash. If you try to join a game from a game invite when you are already in a game, it will sometimes freeze. If your saved game is on the cloud and you lose your connection to Xbox Live, the game defaults to player 1 and the hard drive. (Meaning that if you are playing split screen and you are using player 2's world, it will transfer ownership of the world to player 1.) Taking a screen shot when not playing an online game (unchecking the online checkbox when loading world) will cause the game to disconnect from the server, losing all unsaved data. Sometimes when opening the crafting area and either going through, or quitting the crafting tutorial will cause the game to freeze.
