When they update stuff, like adding horses, will these only appear on new worlds?

New stuff can be added into old worlds if that's what you mean.

[charlesr]

Yes. But you can use that time to start digging and get all kinds of lovely ore. Then as soon as sunrise hits, go out again and get wood. I found those first couple of nights the hardest when I finally tried survival but it gets much easier once you get some supplies.

Beavis and butthead would be proud.

Hm, I guess so. One time I'd gotten an axe, shovel, pick, etc. and lost it all.
Also, can you password protect world so only friends can join you? Not that anyone has come to my world at all of course.

But if you're on survival, it won't spawn new stuff on its own though, right? I mean I'd have to go into creative and add the new elements? Or will worlds update and pepper new stuff through it automatically?

[charlesr]

Not sure about survival, but on creative it does add them in without you asking.

Yeah i paid the price when i updated my game when the main bulk of new stuff got added, you may find after the update that your world you were working on gets totally ruined. As all the new elements get put into your game and you will find sometimes the biomes change positions. I had one area that was just regular fields and forests i built a lot of water stuff in that area but now it's all rendered useless as it's all frozen over so i can't use boats and the entrances underground are all frozen up too. It's now a winter wonderland, hours and hours of work rendered useless.

Now mainly play on pc, although i want to install tekkit and industrialcraft mods as you can make nuclear reactors using that mod along with some other amazing stuff hehe. A lot of new stuff to learn with those, hell i'm still trying to learn vanilla version inside out before i move on.

Certainly on consoles you can set your world to Invite only (my preference) as it saves getting another player who joins with the purpose of destroying your creations or taking all your good stuff (though I now put that in hidden rooms).

I have always played Survival, admittedly on Easy. I have used a Creative copy of one of the new extra large console world seeds to find villages.

My ultimate plan is to build something from Star Wars but what shall remain a mystery (mainly as I'll probably never have time to do it).

My son and I have been building a fantasy world over the last few months on the Xbox One version. Just finished a rollercoaster but I'm having trouble getting the cart to go up the hills without stopping.

[Dogg Thang]

Pop in a few powered rails every so often. You can use those going uphill. Just make sure they're actually getting power.

[Bassman]

On my favourite seed (largest map on PS4) I have a rail line that extends for about 1700 blocks. Fortunately it is all on the same level, with almost a 1500 block straight.

Looks as if Redstone Pistons and Torches are sorted with the latest update.

I've been playing this on PS4 and have noticed mined blocks jumping from where they were mined. I found a piece of Coal some 6 or 7 blocks from where it was mined, on top of a mountain! I also lost 2 Iron Ore blocks when mining! I hope this gets a fix.

Can the Vita version of this access world's built by other people? Seems to be no but I thought I'd ask. Can the console versions or is that just a PC thing?
