Would be a definite purchase for me! I've been getting into other voxel games like 7 Days to Die, but at the back of my mind I'm always wishing I could import the culmination of the hundreds of hours I've spent constructing in Minecraft.What they really need to do is make Minecraft2 with a rehaul of the engine, improvements to the world creation and a redone modding system that increases modability and ease of use.
And a way to import Minecraft1 worlds.
Ya, sadly the console versions are literally ported versions of older Minecraft I think the Xbox version is programmed in some C#/Java hybrid, people could probably figure out some mod system too work, but it would only be cracked consoles, and very basic functionality sense they are older versions.I'm assuming the XBox and Playstation versions of Minecraft are strictly vanilla? Man, I can't imagine playing vanilla anymore after experiencing the wonder of mods like Thaumcraft, Thermal Expansion, Buildcraft, etc. Hell, there are tons of new ones since the last server we had here that Kais hosted that I haven't even tried yet. I watched a Direwolf20 video the other day, first time in months, and was blown away at all the new shit on the Forgecraft server.
If Microsoft kills that creativity, I'm going to be annoyed.

Hahahahaha. Then why not just give it to someone else? Look, it's 2.5 billion dollars. That's the kind of price that makes selling out A-OK! I can't hate on that in the least.
