My son asked for an Xbox one and Minecraft for Christmas, but now he found out that his friends will be playing the game on Xbox 360. Will he be able to play with them? Thanks.

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!
This depends on your definition of "play with".
To play online with anyone, you will need an xbox live account.
To play "locally" (meaning everyone is in the same room taking turns or playing on the same tv via a splitscreen mode, but not all games support that) I do not believe you need an xbox live account.

According to the Microsoft support site you can't.
