Update Minecraft: Xbox One Edition to Update Aquatic/1.13

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is one of the Console ports for Minecraft, this version has been discontinued ever since September 20, 2017. Although you can only play this version if you have a disc or if you bought it before, you will be surprised by how active the player base is to this day!

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition did not receive the Update Aquatic due to Minecraft Bedrock Edition having the update aquatic, they used that as a way to move players across from Console Edition to Bedrock Edition, now 5 years later, the community for Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is still active and would love to receive just the Update Aquatic, every other console (PS3, PSVita, WiiU, Xbox 360, PS4) all received the Update Aquatic, now that's there's been 6 major updates since Update Aquatic came out, and Update Aquatic isn't worth being used as a way to sell Minecraft Bedrock Edition, I feel that Minecraft: Xbox One Edition should receive the update, I believe it won't take too much effort due to the update already being made on the same codebase for the Xbox 360, even though it would be hard to find, it would earn Mojang/Microsoft some extra money. People have asked for all Minecraft: Console Editions to be updated to the latest versions again, but even though that would be brilliant, it still wouldn't be too beneficial for Mojang, updating Xbox One to aquatic would. 

The topic is under Parity, as this is suggesting parity between all Console Editions.

    I agree that Xbox One Edition should get the aquatic update too just like Nintendo Switch Edition. Xbox One Edition was discontinued in September 2017 however it was later updated again and received TU58 and updates after it but after June 2018 it was completely excluded from all updates, which the other console received. Not releasing the aquatic update to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch because you have the aquatic update on bedrock doesn’t make sense imo. In the aquatic update Console Edition got a new tutorial world, the emrald icon above villagers (and wandering traders on PS4 too later) when trading which was sadly removed from bedrock, faster eye-level change animations (sneaking was fixed on bedrock but when your eye-level changes due to using riptide, swimming or using an elytra it is still too slow on bedrock but on Console Edition it matches Java), animation of camera moving up or down when entering or leaving a bed, properly working tridents (the channeling sound actually plays and loyalty tridents also return upon hitting an entity instead of bouncing off it first) and the sound for diving into and out of water. All of these features are still missing on bedrock, there are probably more. Most of them are also present on Java Edition.

    I really want this to happen I exclusively play Xbox one edition since my bedrock worlds got deleted because (bedrock edition) and I love the way it runs comperd to bedrock but I wish it had newer updates having 1.13 would be great or even the 1.14 update from ps4 edition. I don't think this will happen but if it dose I will be very happy.

    Myself and my friend have always only played on the same world since 2012 or 2013. It was originally built on the 360 version, then imported to the xbox one edition a long time ago when it first came out. If we ever lost this map, it is fair to say we could not bring ourselves to play again. It just has had so much work done on it for a little over a decade. I was absolutely heartbroken to see the version we play was the ONLY version that did not get the aquatic update. Here we are in 2023, still playing on the same world save file. We simply cannot migrate to bedrock because things we have built will not function anymore, and we would lose access to the Halo texture pack that is not offered in the other edition. Seeing all the new content we have been missing out on for years now makes us a bit sad, and I really wish we could at least see the major aquatic update and all the wonderful features be able to be brought into our decade-old save file. It seems like we missed out on quite a lot with this update. I can understand not wanting to support this edition forever, but we cant help but feel disenfranchised being the only edition that was not updated. There is still a community of people who play the xbox one edition, and we really hope to see this one day. But if not, we will continue with what we have.

    The console edition of minecraft runs much faster because it doesnt have all of the animations slowing it down. It would be really cool if they would update the console edition exclusively on the xbox a lot because it would end up like a java edition. I also play survival more on the console edition because bedrock doesn't run the same and the console edition has more of a java feel.
