More than eight million fans were surprised when Microsoft and 4J Studios released the "Minecraft Xbox 360" Update 12. Many thought the update would be pushed back to September seeing how there'd been no official word from 4J studios since the dev team confirmed a "Minecraft" Xbox 360 update 12 and was submitted to the Xbox Live certification board. Earlier in the month, 4J Studios had announced they were putting the finishing touches on Update 12 and even announce the official changelog for the game a week later. That led people to believe the update was coming, but it never did.
The previously revealed changelog for Update 12 is exactly what you can expect. The only thing that isn't included in Title Update 12 is the texture and mash-up packs. 4J Studios has said they're waiting for legal to sign-off on it before they can reveal the first pack. Here's hoping that 4J's lawyers don't take as long as Microsoft's did in certifying Title Update 12. The new update 12 is live and includes: Ocelots, baby villagers, iron golems, redstone lamps, and tons of fixes and additions. Thanks to VG247 for creating the entire changelog, check it out below.
