Need help!

Played the demo on PS4 with my son, and we loved it, so I went and bought it!

Now, when we play together only one of us can build. Is this right, or am I missing something?

So got the kids Minecraft for their Vita and my PS4 - they love it
I love it cus they just watch stampy-somat youtube vids all day long - lol.

Question - How do I get maps on to the game please? - They seen some sort of stampy disney map which they want - I went and grabbed the .bin file off the link on the youtube vid but couldn't get it on to my PS4. Think I've switched off on-line mode so they don't go messing too much.

thanks in advance for any advice.

This update makes Minecraft much more playable now.

Using horses to travel around, using comparators and hoppers to create organised sorting systems, and beacons to make mining quicker!

Can someone explain what the wither actualy is? Just seen the donkeys and horses which are cool but don't have a saddle at the moment!

The Wither is another boss in Minecraft. You need to kill Wither Skeletons in the Nether (the black ones) and they randomly drop Wither Skulls. Once you have 3 Wither Skulls you can then create the Wither.

Once killed, it drops the Nether Star which you need to create the Beacon.

The Playstation versions are in testing, just waiting for it to pass their testing process then it will be released.

How do beacons make mining quicker?

The beacons give you extra power, and depending how big you make the platform it's on, it's reach extends up to 50 blocks away.

The five primary powers are:

Speed: Increased movement speed.
Haste: Increased mining speed.
Resistance: Increased armor rating.
Jump Boost: Increased jumping distance and height.
Strength: Increased melee damage.

Get yourself an Efficiency V pick + Haste II = this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsbFXVimZfc

Sorry if this has already been asked but are there any meaningful improvements between the PS3/360 and the PS4/One versions? I've currently got 360 version and wondering if worth buying the PS4 version. Most interested if 4 person multiplayer (shared screen) is smoother as it a bitter stuttery on 360

Is there ever going to be further updates to this? The save syncing is massively broken still.

I'm surprised such a big brand product is so glitchy. A bit of polish would do the game wonders.
