Developer 4J Studios has shared patch notes for the immensely sought-after Adventure Update to Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition. Among the many additions and changes, players finally get their hands on Creative Mode, which removes the survival element and enables flying and unlimited resources. If you’ve ever seen a ridiculously awesome Starship Enterprise or Hyrule re-creation in Minecraft, it was undoubtedly built in Creative Mode.

Tons of new items, such as ender pearls, webs, melons, vines, and more have been added. New biomes include rivers and oceans, and players can now discover strongholds, villages, abandoned mineshaft, and ravines in the randomly generated terrain. I’m most excited about those, as they add a much-needed diversity to the game’s exploration as well as increased opportunities for treasure chests.

Note that this update also fixes the duplication glitch, so you only have limited time left to make mountains of diamonds and gold.

No date is currently attached to the patch, but it’s likely in certification now and could be live within days.

Additions:

Added Creative Mode.
Disabled Achievements and Leaderboard updates if the player is in Creative Mode or if the world has been previously saved in Creative Mode.
Added a simple tutorial for Creative Mode.
