The Minecraft launcher needs to go online to download the game the first time you log in on any given computer. After that, you can play Minecraft on that computer without being connected to the Internet.Multiplayer won't work offline, though.If a new version of Minecraft is released, you must go online to download the update. You can still play the old version offline before you do this.
