Before jumping into the question of whether or not you can play Is minecraft cross platform , I want to clear something up: yes, you can! What this means is that if you have both an xBox 360 and an iPhone you can play multiplayer minecraft on the same server. Minecraft is actually cross-platform, which means that you can engage in multiplayer crossplay games with players who may be using vastly different platforms or consoles. But there are some limitations to this, namely that only those players using the same version of Java will be on the server at the same time. For example, if you have two versions of Java on your machine but one version on an xBox 360, you will be unable to play each version of Java on the Xbox 360.
