Minecraft and data usage
Does playing minecraft online increases your data usage. I don't play the game. My niece does. Would this increase our data usage. I don't play video games that much.

To play or to host a server?
If your just downloading the game and playing off a public server it can take as little as 1.38MB per hour to 16MB per hour, depending on what your doing.
To host a server, you use on average 10-20Kbps per player. That works out to about 55MB per hour, per person. So for 5 players simultaneously you will use about 275MB per hour.
These are just a few figures I pulled off Google. YMMV

she just plays on line and we don't host a server. So what you're saying is that playing this game would increase our data usage? i think she plays 3 or 4 hours day. My other niece just listen spotify and watch videos on youtube. We don't download anything. Somebody could be hacking my router.
