I've got a situation I need some clarification on before I buy this game digitally.

My daughter asked for Minecraft for our XBox One for xmas. I want to buy it digitally so I bought a Minecraft-branded $25 XBox gift card to put inside a set of Minecraft strategy books I also got her.

Here's where I have an idea to get the most bang for my buck, let me know if my thinking is off base:

She has a XBox 360 in her room, my old console. It's not online but can be if needed to download something, etc. It has my Live account on it with Gold and her "sub" account on it, which I assume does NOT have Gold. We have an XBox One in the family room with my Live account with Gold and her account, which shares my Gold access.

Can I purchase Minecraft on 360 for 20 bucks on MY Live account, and then use the extra 5 bucks to upgrade to the XBox One edition as well? That way she can play both the 360 version on her account in her room and transfer those creations to the XBox One and play on there with her sub account?

Yes.

She won't be able to play offline on her sub account on the 360 unless you make sure to make the initial purchase with your account on the same system.

Even if he didn't do this, he can always complain here and we would tell him to do a license transfer for he has two copies of Minecraft.

Also, once she transfers her world to the Xbox One, she won't be able to transfer it back to the 360.

Also, once she transfers her world to the Xbox One, she won't be able to transfer it back to the 360.

Just to clarify , he means the game save.

You can create as many game worlds as you want on 360 and transfer them to Xbox One, but it's a one way trip.

The 2 games are independent of each other , so both will work
