When I try playing this game without my Xbox connected to the internet I can only play through the tutorial. I've played without it before so I don't understand why I can't now. Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix this?
Just explain everything in more detail so that we can understand what is going on.
Your post's are a little hard to read when you are asking for help but you aren't going into detail with what is wrong with your problem.
i know his problem and but not sure how to fix.
When he starts up minecraft it might say disconnected from xbox live and when he picks play it will give him 2 options.
Keep playing offline or connect to live. This means you can play minecraft full game and still be offline. For people who like to Dupe there items
The other disconnected means that you are not online and therefore all your games you downloaded turn into demos Like (Minecraft)
i think the way you fix this is you having to be online while playing minecraft and then get disconnected. idk this is just a guess.
i know your problem but i don't know how to fix it and i would like to know as well
I boot up Minecraft from my Xbox that I don't have connected to my router, then when it gets to the main menu and I try to start the game, it goes straight to the trial version of the game where it gives you a tutorial of how to play the game. I can only play the actual game when my Xbox is connected to XBL while I'm playing.
If it's a different Xbox console from the one you purchased Minecraft on, the license is associated with the first console, and you can only play offline mode on that Xbox, assuming XBLA games work like DLC. If you are playing on the console the license is associated with, you can play games and their DLC while offline, but not if it's a different console than the one the license is associated to.
My sister could use my Dragon Age DLC until I transferred the license to the new Xbox we got, and then she could. So that might be your problem.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's my problem. Is there any way to transfer the rights of the game that you know of?
Yeah, you have to be connected to Xbox Live first, and go to like account settings on the console or something. You have to tranfer the licenses associated with your account to that console. You can only transfer licenses once every like 5-6 months, though; I transfered my licenses late last month and can't transfer them again until October or so. Keep in mind that transfering your licenses will transfer EVERY license associated with your account, not just Minecraft. So don't transfer the licenses unless you don't mind all your DLC being tied to the second console.
Apparently kajillions of dollars isn't enough, they have to nickel and dime people that already bought 2 xboxes from them and just want to play the damn games they paid for.
Sucks when they release a mandatory update that ruins your save game you've been putting hundreds of hours into. Never buying anything from Microsoft on purpose again.

You're not seeing the whole picture. If digital purchases could be copied freely from console to console, there would be no barriers to piracy at all. You could copy MC or any other downloaded game over to your friend's console next door, and he could play your games for free. The system MS designed to protect against free copying is one of the best, least intrusive ones I've seen. It's so simple. On the box you purchase the games, you can play them any way you see fit--online, offline, even online on a different account/profile. On a different box, you are still allowed to play them, but you must be logged into the purchasing Live account to be able to play them. That's as flexible as it can get while still preventing unrestricted copying of the games.
So don't go badmouthing MS here. They didn't cause your save to freeze, and they didn't nickel and dime you either.
This is microsoft's doing. This came from the recent minecraft update and xbox update. You can switch your profile to a new xbox, microsoft wants you all to buy new xbox's. In create a profile you can download your gamertag/account from xbox live. This saves all the things you've bought and will let you re-download them to the console. But, microsoft is greedy and do not care about their gamers and they like to spy on their gamers. They want you to "be online" all the time, they want to discourage offline play, so they like to take away your choices while making it look like you have a choice because people buy things when they think they have more choices. What I hate is people saying things like "just gotta accept it, do it their way", people that say that are part of the problem. Threaten to not buy their new products, say you'll go to another gaming console that has no influence from microsoft. Say that your going to switch to macs and do away with microsoft. Make them change your gaming the way you want it, flood thier inboxes and mailboxes. Blast them on facebook. Oh there's a way you can play minecraft offline now, by buying the game in stores, so yes, microsoft set it up that if you want this game in offline mode, you'll need to buy it twice unless you never bought the digital copy. Not sure if your downloaded content will be there unless your online though. Microsoft really sucks, I'm on a deployment, hit a port and got some wi-fi, updated my minecraft game because it was bringing some of us fun in the middle of the ocean, and now we can't even play it anymore. you microsoft and if the makers of minecraft care then they would help us fight this fight.

First I'd like to point out tthat the OP is over 16 months old and has nothing to do with the XBox One. This is not a change from the recent update.
Minecraft, just like all games you can download on the XBox 360 can only be played offline on the XBox that has the appropriate licenses for it. The XBox with the license to play the game is the XBox that you used to purchase the game. This can be changed though, you can do this by transferring licenses.

Edit: Beaten to it.
