I don’t know if you need an Xbox live to play Minecraft multiplayer on pc and if you have an ps4 plus do you still need a Xbox live to play Minecraft multiplayer?

    Just asked my expert Minecraft-player network. They said: you need an Xbox live account to play multiplayer online, but you can play offline without an account. You can, however, play online with the legacy Java client.

    (Still searching for a citation for all of this though as they weren't 100% certain.)
