‘Minecraft Xbox 360’ Details for ‘Halo Mash-up Pack’ Plus a Mario Mod and 55 Cool Maps
Earlier, 4J Studios has teased a couple of screenshots for the upcoming "Halo Mash-up Pack" exclusive to "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition."
Now at Halo Waypoint, there are more screenshots showing off the location that can be seen in the mash-up pack.
So far, the areas in the world that has already been created includes the abandoned weather station in Blackout, the sphere in Cryptum, the trees and vines in Guardian, the Sandtrap, the Scarab, Valhalla with all of its hills and the stream, and Blood Gulch.
The "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" Halo mash-up pack comes with a number of things, including exclusive "Halo"-themed texture set, menus and user interface, new items inspired by "Halo," 40 character skins and music tracks from the title.
'Super Mario' on 'Minecraft'
Everyone remembers the very vintage "Super Mario" game in all its pixelated glory. Well, with almost everything being recreated in "Minecraft," it's no surprise that someone has already recreated the game here.
Minecraft Forums reports YouTube user Jesper the End has recreated the Mario world as an in-game game—at least the first level. But what makes this interesting is the creator of the mod has ensured it will be so easier for gamers to create a level themselves.

For now, those who are interested in getting and working with the map would need the Snapshot 14w18b or higher to recreate more "Super Mario" worlds. In the video above, the creator shows off not just the level he has made but also a tutorial on how players can make a level themselves.
The inventory is already complete with the blocks players' need (and the function they do in the "Super Mario" game) and the characters they can spawn, they just have to build the level themself. Players can check out the video above and get started on their own "Super Mario" level in "Minecraft."
Voxelbox's 55 Maps to Date
If the "Super Mario" mod is not enough, then this mega-release from Voxelbox may be the thing that gets gamers.
"Recently we have been doing a huge push to release old content from our servers in preparation for the next phase in our server's evolution. We decided to space out these releases and thus we have been doing one release a day from March 31st through June 1st," said Voxelbox via Minecraft Forums. "And as if all these releases weren't enough, every single one of them is free for all users!"
Hit the link to see the 55 maps and constructions that Voxelbox has made with "Minecraft." The worlds are astoundingly detailed and some are pretty good renditions of locations and well-known artifacts, such as the Titanic and the floating city of Columbia in "BioShock Infinite."
