I was just wondering, can you set up a headset on the game and talk and play with other people? My friend had the XBOX One at her house and she was talking to people while playing. I'm getting pretty bored during winter break and I'm probably going to be getting a cheap headset tomorrow. BTW..I don't have any friends on my Xbox Live account :/ then what should I do?!?!

Yes you can use a headset to talk with people on your Xbox. The multiplayer in Minecraft is not real multiplayer because it does not exist in the Xbox version. The only way you can play with other players in your minecraft world is to bring your own friends in or play split screen on the same console. You can only have a maximum of eight players in a single world.
As for your friends issue, I recommend purchasing Xbox live gold and a game or two such as Halo or call of duty. The only way to really get friends online is to either know them in real life so you can add them, or play popular games online where you can meet plenty of players through the use of your headset. The two games I mentioned have big gaming communities, and the majority of players who play tend to have headsets. Minecraft is a popular game so you should have no issues finding players to play it with.
As a side note, I recommend you try the Halo games first for your search as the Call of Duty community can be horrible to chat with sometimes.

Multiplayer in Mincraft is true and actual Multiplayer... with the core terminology of Multiplayer meaning specifically a game with more than one (presumably human) non-computer controlled Player(s).
But it is not Mainframe Server Hosted, as the Hosting Player's Xbox will act as the roll of the Server for the duration of the game, there for it isn't considered a mainframe, server-farmed, Online Game. and since the maximum number of players is 8, it certainly doesn't qualify as Massive Multiplayer. But it is still Multiplayer all the same.
