I'm posting this in ps3 because thats what i play on. This applies to all console editions.
I know that people want a way to mod console edition minecraft.
Why not create a way to make a mod like a dlc? You'll create it using an editor or like you would for pc edition but using console syntax (if that makes any sense) Then send it to an automated system to 4J or mojang or sony of whoever and show it as a free dlc for minecraft. It wouldn't be illegal because its not modifing the game itself. It would work the same way other dlc's add stuff like in dead island the dlc adds new weapons and locations. It'll just add new weapons, ores, mobs, biomes, structures. Or 4J could get permission to create a console version of really popular mods like galacticraft, the lucky block mod, or the like. In the menu to create a world It'll ad a "Mods" button under the texture packs and you could turn on each one individually for that world. That way you can have a world per mod.

Im on your side elvin, but this post will end up being locked. As ive said multiple times on different threads, mods are taboo for absolutely no reason. 4j gives us mods already. Theyre called texture packs... we pay for them, and they modfy the game. Its either laziness or lack of interest in giving the multitudes of players asking for this what they want. Noone is asking for mcedit, we're just asking for them to expand on what theyre already doing...

Yup, Elvin I like the idea of user content and agree to a certain point. But Sony and Microsoft have to face off with the ESRB with anything they release. Saying that, imagine your Sony or Microsoft and you let users (Age 10 to 109 to change content.) its a legal nightmare. Pc user have a blessing and a curse. If they DL a great texture pack good for them but if the DL something terrible packed with a virus and or multiple Trojan horses..... So yay....
Since you were wondering here's the deal with mods: Technically, a mod is anything made by a USER (Not the game developers) that changes gameplay. These kinds of mods are banned by Microsoft and Sony because they violate terms of use. However, 4j could release 'modpacks' as dlc (Meaning we could buy them), and make them availible for use in that way. In fact, from what I've heard, 4j already plans to release these. Otherwise, they take blocks or mobs from mods, and add them to an update as exclusive features. Unfortunately, 4j has also said that they plan to continue catching the consoles up to the pc first. Once we catch up, if we ever do, then 4j will 'Skew off of the pc' and add their own stuff.

Sounds good right?
Right
If this applies to all consoles, then it wouldn't happen. Because for Xbox, Microsofts terms of Service don't allow modding of the game; and I don't think Sony allows modding either. Maybe they can add DLC content, which you can buy, but no "mods".
i think it would be great if they added a "Mod" tool into the game. & i would love to have the dimensions i've seen from YouTube. for example, Twilight Forest or the ore dimensions.

If there's any moderators that read this post... You should make it in the very rules of being on here that you shouldn't be allowed to make threads of the topic of mods in any way since it's impossible.
Just make it a pop up when you first create an account that you're not allowed to make threads of this topic since it's flooded the threads list by the thousands I'm sure by now.
It's never going to happen... ever.
I don't know why it's so difficult for people to think that.
I don't want to say that every new person is an ignorant 9 year old.. But people above that age I'm assuming should understand by now that with all the terms of agreements they sign etc.. they would be able to understand a little bit of corporate policies......
By no means has it ever been a 'new suggestion'. I've been on here over a year now.... and.. it's suggested like 4x a week. Judging by your current three posts at the moment... you wouldn't have known that..
But trust me I've seen countless threads of this topic closed.
While it's starting to go out of existence on the xbox section of this place.... the PS3 section is unfortunately plagued with it...
I agree with you in a way, first it would be nice to have mods but not dlc's. first i would like to have a system of things, first to get the mod you have this box on the right-hand side with a wrench sort of like the PE version but way different. that Now what to do with the wrench once you select it should say modlink or somthing like that to where it would take in download sites like mediafire or dropbox and from there people would upload there mods from the download site. Does that sound right to you? And if this helps you picture of what im talking about look at technic.Thanks if you consider. P.S. i really like minecraft vanilla but sometimes it gets boring so thats why i love minecraft. all love to MOJANG.
I understand this we all like minecraft if we didn't we wouldn't be playing it but we all could use mods im not forcing it but if it was possible if you know what i mean.
Ill tell u why not. Because ps3 is a closed source system so u cant touch any file or any game so, its impossible to have mods on console. Also this is illegal in terms of sony.

This. You bought into a closed system, which is saying to the company you will do what is acceptable within what they think is fair. They will not allow mods, and you will not get mods. Want mods? Get a computer. You can spend as much as what a PS4 costs to run Minecraft well enough (and I mean building one, not buying a premade at the store).

why? exactly that doesnt really make sense
UPDATE
oh and the same could go for texture packs
But either way, this will get locked.

i just thought it would be a nice idea and they could always do a scan or whatever on the thing
sorry for wasting time
Hope this helps!

My computer specs:

It would be nice, but again, not possible.
