I've read here that chat is free with Xbox Live Silver (now called Xbox Live Free?). Is this true or not? It seems on other sites that Xbox Live Gold is required. And if it is true in any sense does that apply to in-game chat like what is available in Minecraft? Is there a private chat mode that is different from the party chat mode?

Yes, using private chat you can chat one to one with another player. You require a gold membership to play online and to chat in a party(Party chat 8 people or so) although some games allow you to be joined or play on weekends etc... As noted at the end of the page on " http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/live" *IMPORTANT! Xbox Live Gold no longer required for some apps and features, including Twitch, Skype and YouTube.

No you can't chat or message with a Silver account, all online play is restricted to Gold members only.
