    I do not have java on my pc despite having bedrock the only thing i can access is the demo


    I have a laptop that i bought minecraft windows edition on a while ago only to recently find out java comes with it apparently but i am unable to use it. All that is presented is the buy button i have looked at previous articles but nothing i have found has helped. I would be extremely grateful if i could gain some help with this issue.

    :)

    Hi Jakson,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I am sorry that you are still prompted that you have to buy the game, even if you already purchased Minecraft. As part of our initial troubleshooting, kindly make sure that you are logged in using the same Microsoft account where you purchased the game. If you purchased it from Microsoft store, you may check it by going to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

    Once confirmed that you are using the correct account, please follow my recommendations below.

    1. Delete the Minecraft launcher that exists on your computer.

    2. Restart your computer.

    3. Install legacy Minecraft launcher for Windows.

    https://aka.ms/minecraftClientWindows

    Once reinstalled, continue with these instructions.

    1. Open Minecraft launcher.

    2. If you are already logged in, click on your image and Gamer tag in the upper left corner of the screen and then on "Logout".

    3. After logging out, delete all accounts registered in the launcher by clicking on the "X" next to each account.

    4. In the Minecraft launcher, enter the Microsoft email and password.

    If you bought Minecraft from Microsoft Store, you have to go to Microsoft Store>My Library then look for Minecraft and install.

    Make sure you're signed into the Store app with the same Microsoft account that you used to buy the game.

    If the above steps did not work, please clear the cache of the Microsoft store. Go to Settings> System> Apps & features> Click Store> Advanced options> Reset.

    After the reset, log in with the Microsoft account that has Minecraft Java and reinstall Launcher.

    Hope this solves your issue, please do let me know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Microsoft Account issue after Minecraft Migration

    Yes bedrock loads only but java shows demo whereas I use java edition to play not vanilla bedrock

    The entire problem is I cannot access java after migrating is there something I'm missing because I have my transaction id and an email from mojang confirming I had java edition

    Lost access to Minecraft Java

    I said in the first message that when I log in with microsoft account I don't have access to Minecraft Java, only demo version. My microsoft account only has bedrock edition and the original mojang account seems to be lost.

    Hi Manuela! Yes, i paid for it today, i got the minecraft launcher from the microsoft store and purchased it from the launcher but on the microsoft store it says i have both java and bedrock. Yes i tried to update my account purchase status but it just says i only have bedrock, and i can only play the demo of java.

    I bought and own the rights to both java and bedrock minecraft. Why am I unable to play minecraft on my xbox one without buying the gamepass??

    you say you have java and bedrock, java is only on pc this looks like you purchased the licence for both games on pc and can only use them on pc.
