I bought Minecraft for Xbox One, but it does not work, it turns out that I have to buy Xbox...

It says it right under the “buy” button.

Every game in Xbox needs gold for online activities

Truly, when I followed the link You gave - indeed one can see the condition of Live Gold. But when I entered Microsoft Store from my Xbox there were no such condition. Or I am senile old man. Well, I hate pay monthly subscriptions . Thanks for Your kind answers. As until now, I did not got answer from Microsoft.

You should only need Live Gold to use the multiplayer features. Playing offline should not require Gold.

Thanks a lot for Your answer. But the thing is that at first run I stuck, so I did not play at all. The error says no Realms for me and says check the account config, which I did, without result. Then I got the answer from Minecraft folks about Live Gold.

Hello, i have checked the version it is Mine Craft: Xbox One Edition v1.58.1920.0

Did you buy the physical disc version of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition? Or did you buy the digital download version?

If you have bought the digital download version, simply download the "Minecraft" without the "Xbox One Edition" from the Xbox Marketplace for free.

If you have bought the physical disc version of the game, your only option is to buy the Minecraft version without the "Xbox One Edition" in the title to be able to get the Aquatic update as well as the Cats and Pandas update.
