Can my twins play Minecraft together on Xbox 360 live with just one Xbox Live account?
So far I have resisted getting Xbox Live for my twins. They were 7 in October but for Christmas they have been bought it by their uncle. I cannot, however, work out how they can both play together when their cousin invites them to play Minecraft. Is it possible for them both to play together on one console with one account or if not what is the cheapest solution?
Best Answer
It is possible to use one account for two people. One account must have Xbox Live Gold and the other account must be signed into the Xbox Live 'Guest' Profile. Here's what you do:
- Turn on the Xbox and both controllers
- Make sure that you have a secure internet connection (wired or wireless)
- Have Player 1 sign into the Xbox Live Gold profile
- Start Minecraft
- Have the Player 2 sign into the account 'Guest', do not make an account called Guest. (If you can't find the Guest profile, don't worry, just follow the next step)
When invited to the game, a four-pane sign-in window will pop-up and give the options 'Start' or 'Join'. If the second player has not signed in already, have them click 'Join' and sign into the Guest profile.
Click 'Start' and they will connect to the game
- Enjoy!
This method will support up to 4 players on one Xbox. Remember to have the guests store their inventory AND armor into a chest because it will not save Guest profile progress. Only the profile with Xbox Live Gold will keep their level AND equipment.
I did this the other day with my friends and it worked great!

No, you do not. Only a host player needs an Xbox Live account, and other one to three players can join the game as guests. In this case, the game process including gear and rank will be the same as a host player.Can Minecraft Xbox 360 and Xbox One play together?
Multiplayer between Xbox One and Xbox 360 in Minecraft is not possible, as those are two different game versions. Also be aware, that not all games from that list support online multiplayer.

You can! But you must have a flat screen hooked up by HDMI. No old TV
