The fourth title update for Minecraft (XBLA) is almost upon us as 4J Studios has revealed what will be in the 1.7.3 Bug Fix update. Now that we’ve seen the whole pattern, it appears as if the team plans on updating the game, patching it, and then updating again. As for how long this process will continue, we don’t know, however, the same is said for the PC version of the game. This is made a bit more complicated because of Microsoft’s policies, but the understanding is that Mojang has worked out an agreement with the publisher to reduce or eliminate the fees that these updates incur.

Regardless, according to 4J the update will hopefully be out next week if all goes well in certification. The follow bugs/glitches have been fixed.
