Like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 editions players, the Xbox One Edition owners had the option to download the Bedrock version for free, however this deal ended in December 2019.

Fun fact: the source code leak took place on February 28, 2026.This major leak included source code for various development versions of Legacy Console editions, spreading across platforms like 4chan and Discord.

Compared to the Template:El, the Xbox One Edition features Minecraft:world sizes up to 5120×5120 blocks (36 times larger), native 1080p resolution, 18 Minecraft:chunk Minecraft:render distance, Minecraft:amplified worlds, 16 player multiplayer for Minecraft:mini games, and the option to constantly save the world in the background akin to the Java and Bedrock Editions.

Initially, the Xbox One Edition was planned to no longer receive updates following the release of Template:BE on the platform, starting with the lack of an equivalent update to TU58. However, the Xbox One Edition later received CU50, an update adding the MINECON Earth Skin Pack, and eventually resumed updates entirely with CU51, an update equivalent to TU60 which also added all the features from TU58, Xbox One Edition continued updating for 2 years after the release of Template:BE.

As of CU59, the Xbox One Edition has not received new feature updates, such as the Minecraft:Update Aquatic, Minecraft:Village & Pillage, Minecraft:Buzzy Bees, the Minecraft:Nether Update, Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs, and so on. But comunity on Leaked version is trying to backport these updates.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> The Xbox One Edition is playable on the Template:W via backward compatibility.<ref>https://xbox.com/games/store/-/BT6HNJH658C6</ref>
