Do you need online to play minecraft on xbox?

You do not need to be online to play Minecraft on Xbox.

Here's why:

* Single-player mode: Minecraft has a single-player mode where you can play offline. This is the default mode when you first start the game. You can create your own world, explore, build, and fight mobs without an internet connection.

* Multiplayer requires internet: If you want to play with friends or other players online, you'll need an internet connection. You can join servers, create your own server, or play with friends on your local network.

So, if you want to just play by yourself, you can play Minecraft on Xbox offline!
