    I dont know if this is possible but if it is then why doesn't mojang release a place for major mods that people use for PC to come to xbox and same for texture packs. It would probably cost money but still it would be pretty cool to be able to get DoKucraft on the xbox or TooManyItems. Anyone else out there think this or know if you could or couldnt do it

    Just a few things.
    1. Mojang doesn't do any of the coding or such for the XBLA version. It is handled by a 3rd party.
    2. Texture Packs are a planned DLC.
    3. XBLA Minecraft is not written in java so they can't simply transfer the mods onto the market place
    3 1/2. Even if they could, the mods are the property of the creators and the devs would have to either port it themselves or give permission to the XBLA MC devs to do it.

    Mojang has given permission for mods since day one. They even gave people permission to claim their mods as their own intellectual property.

    Mojang even gets to LOL at the Minecraft clones that keep failing horribly!

    I don't think it would be that easy, there's a reason why modding games on consoles is nearly impossible, and that's because the system is pretty locked up.
