This isn't quite tinkering, because it works, but the default xbox controls are annoying. You control the cursor with one of the joysticks, and selecting targets for interaction is a pain. After setting controls from automatic to mouse and keyboard, and the right trackpad to behave as mouse, the controller input was still recognized, but I could move the cursor freely. I would only suggest making this change after the tutorial, so a) you can see if the default controls do work for you and b) you learn the controller buttons, like Y for quick move between chest and inventory.

Had to invoke the onscreen keyboard manually to name the world. I don't think it's needed otherwise except to create signs.

I wanted to see how it looks in 640x400, and I could barely put it back, it zoomed in and I only had a part of the resolution selection and a sliver of the confirm button still visible. UI scaling is also pointless, because even at 1.2 menus get cut off at the edge. It does default to perfect 1280x800, so I wasn't very motivated to experiment further.
