Previously purchased Bedrock Edition on App Store. Java Access Possible?

Hi, my name is Julian and I'm an Xbox gamer just like you. Let's try to solve your issue together.

If you bought Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on your mobile device (like iPhone/iPad via the App Store), it doesn’t include access to Minecraft: Java Edition. The Java & Bedrock Edition bundle is only available on Windows and through the Minecraft: Launcher from Microsoft Store or Minecraft.net.

For cross-edition info and eligibility, check:

Please let me know if it worked or not and I would be happy to assist you further. Thank you!

Hello Javie Jumuad, thank you for reaching out to Xbox Support. I understand that you are having trouble accessing Minecraft Java edition even though you purchased it along with the Bedrock edition.



To clarify, Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions are two separate versions of the game and require separate purchases. If you have purchased both versions separately, you should be able to access them using the same account.



However, if you purchased a "2 in 1" pack, it is possible that you only received the Bedrock edition and not the Java edition. In this case, you will need to purchase the Java edition separately.



If you believe that you have purchased the Java edition and are unable to access it, I recommend checking your purchase history on the account used to make the purchase. If you are still unable to access the Java edition, please contact Minecraft support for further assistance.



I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Hi Cavan Johnsen,

Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I understand that you are trying to get Minecraft Java with Bedrock Edition, and you have Minecraft Bedrock for PC, but you are unable to access the Java tab. I'll be happy to assist you with this.



Firstly, it's important to note that Minecraft Java and Minecraft Bedrock are two separate versions of the game. Minecraft Java is the original version of the game, while Minecraft Bedrock is the cross-platform version of the game that is available on multiple devices.

To get Minecraft Java with Bedrock Edition, you will need to purchase Minecraft Java separately. You can purchase Minecraft Java from the official Minecraft website. Once you have purchased Minecraft Java, you will be able to access the Bedrock Edition by logging into your Microsoft account and downloading the game from the Microsoft Store. However, if you have purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition before June 6th, 2022, you are eligible to redeem a free copy of Minecraft Java Edition from the official website. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Go to Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC Standard Edition and log in with your Microsoft account.

2. Click on "Redeem a copy" and follow the instructions to claim your code.

3. Download the Minecraft Launcher for Windows from https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download and install it on your PC.

4. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Java Edition.



If you are unable to access the Java tab on the Minecraft launcher, it could be due to a few reasons. One possible reason is that you may not have purchased Minecraft Java yet. Another possible reason is that you may not have logged into your Minecraft account on the launcher.

To log into your Minecraft account on the launcher, follow these steps:

1. Open the Minecraft launcher.

2. Click on the "Settings" button.

3. Click on the "Accounts" tab.

4. Enter your Minecraft account email and password.

5. Click on the "Save" button.

Once you have logged into your Minecraft account on the launcher, you should be able to access the Java tab and purchase Minecraft Java.



I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Marrion

Hi there Rayan, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

I'm sorry to inform you that it's not possible to purchase only Minecraft Bedrock Edition on PC anymore, as the game is sold in a bundle that includes both Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Java Edition, as you mentioned:

https://www.xbox.com/games/store/minecraft-java-bedrock-edition-for-pc/9nxp44l49shj

Previously, it was possible to purchase each edition separately. However, with the migration of Mojang accounts to Microsoft, this is no longer possible, and now it can only be purchased as a bundle.

Please keep in mind that in this public forum, we are just fellow players like you, trying to help other players with our best intentions.

I appreciate your understanding and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.
