Features

• All features from and before Java Edition Beta 1.6.6, written in C++ instead of Java.
• Console-exclusive controls and menus.
• Includes a tutorial world.
• Exclusive graphics specifically relating to MINECON 2011, such as an overlay displaying "Work In Progress" and a small graphic logo at the top left.

Differences

• The chat box in this version more closely resembled Java Edition's, due to the larger font size and the background being smaller, not casting all the way to the right like the final version does.
• 
  Build 0016's chat box has bigger text, with the background being a bit smaller, and not casting all the way to the right as it does in the final version. This closely resembles the way the Java Edition's chat looks.
• 
  The final version's chat box has smaller text, with the background being a bit bigger, and casting all the way to the right.

Trivia

• This is the first ever version of Minecraft to be shown on the Xbox 360.
