account doesn't show I own java edition

Hi tonka,

My name is Aileen, and I’m an Xbox Expert and an Xbox user myself. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this; it sounds confusing, especially when you know you’ve purchased both versions, but Java isn’t showing correctly on your account. Just a quick reminder that this is a public forum, and I’m not able to access or make changes to accounts, but I’ll do my best to help using available information.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like you’re able to launch Java Edition through the Minecraft Launcher, but your Microsoft account doesn’t show ownership, which is likely causing issues with third-party mod platforms or sites that need to verify you own Java.

Here are a few things to check and try:

Make sure you’re signed into the correct Microsoft account on the launcher

Go to the Minecraft Launcher, click your profile icon in the top-left corner, and verify that you're signed in with the same Microsoft account that made the purchase. If you’re signed into the wrong account, Java won’t show as owned.

Check your Mojang account migration status

If your Java Edition was originally bought under a Mojang account and you didn’t migrate it to Microsoft properly, it may not be showing as owned. You can check if migration was completed by logging in here:

Verify your ownership in the Microsoft order history

Log into https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders to confirm that your Microsoft account shows “Minecraft for Windows + Java Edition” or “Minecraft Java & Bedrock Edition” as purchased. If it only shows Bedrock, the purchase may not have included Java.

If the game was redeemed through a game pass or bundle

Sometimes Game Pass Ultimate includes Minecraft temporarily, but that doesn’t grant you full ownership of Java Edition — it only gives access while your subscription is active, and it won’t validate ownership for external mod platforms.

If all else fails and you’ve confirmed your account should have access to Java but it’s not registering, I recommend contacting Minecraft support directly here:

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/requests/new

Be sure to include your Microsoft order confirmation email, gamertag, and the Microsoft account email you’re using.

I hope this helps clear things up.

Please let me know if you need help finding your purchase or navigating the launcher.

Thank you!

Aileen

Hi there,

No the minecraft website does not show my account owning Java edition. I cannot change my skin or access my player name.

Thanks for taking the time to share it. If you sign in to the Minecraft website, are you able to redeem Minecraft Java Edition there, does it show that you also own Java Edition or it asks you to buy Java Edition?

Hello!

Yes, I already own Minecraft on my previous account. I own both Java and Bedrock edition. I have tried logging into my previous account but it still required me to purchase Minecraft Java Edition for the second time

I do not have a receipt for Minecraft Java Edition on my Microsoft account because I bought it through the Mojang store before the Microsoft/Mojang account integration that happened a few years ago. Thus, my Microsoft account doesn't have a receipt for it because I didn't buy it through Microsoft. I can give my Minecraft username as evidence that I had a copy of Java Edition but besides that I have no other evidence. Now that my Mojang account has been migrated to Microsoft, I can't log in to it to prove I own a copy of Java Edition.
