Today, our friends at Mojang released several important new details about Minecraft: Xbox One Edition.

First, and most importantly, they’ve revealed that Minecraft makes the jump to next gen this August for $19.99. There’s also great news for the 12+ million of you that already own Minecraft: Xbox 360 edition – you’ll be able to upgrade for just $4.99.

• Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Xbox 360 Edition.
  
• It will include all the features from the most recent Xbox 360 title update.
  
• Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will cost $19.99.
  
• If you’ve bought Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition from Xbox Live Marketplace, or played online with the disc version, you will be able to upgrade to Xbox One Edition for $4.99.
  
• You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date.
  
• Players with Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Xbox One. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer saves from Xbox One to Xbox 360. We can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems.
  
• Cross platform play will not be possible between Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
  
• Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you’ve purchased for Xbox 360 Edition will be available for use in Xbox One Edition. We’d like to say all your DLC would transfer, but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We’ll have more on this soon.
