Apple account and Minecraft Marketplace Pass on different devices

Hi GingerSnark,

Thank you for the update. If he is playing on the iPad, then you need to buy the Minecoins using the Apple Store account that is on the iPad, not his Microsoft account. His Microsoft account would only be used if using a Windows 10 device or Xbox One console.
The Xbox Live profile associated with the Microsoft account would allow the coins and any content purchased with the coins to be shared across other Minecraft devices.

For example, if you play on both a Windows 10 device and an iPad and purchase Minecoins on your iPad, you’ll pay for the coins using your Apple Store account. Later, when you play on your Windows 10 device, your coins will be available along with any
purchases that you made in the Minecraft Marketplace. If you then decide to purchase more Minecoins on your Windows 10 device, you’ll pay for them using your Microsoft account and your coins and purchases will be available the next time you play on your iPhone.
Let's say if you later purchase a Fire TV, everything will also appear there when you sign in with your Xbox Live account.

So in this case, you would need to buy the coins through the Apple Store using a payment method setup on an Apple account. If you need help with that I recommend contacting
Apple Customer Support.

Playing Minecraft between devices and platforms

You can play Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition with other devices running Minecraft: Pocket Edition, such as Windows 10 and Windows Phone devices.

for more info.

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition can only be played with other Xbox 360 consoles on Xbox Live. The Xbox One edition can only be played online with other Xbox One consoles. There is no cross-platform play between the Xbox editions and other editions of Minecraft.

How are you, Lara?

Apple's App Store, Google Play, and Amazon Appstore each sell their apps separately and do not coordinate sales with competing companies. Unfortunately, it is not possible to download a previously purchased app, including Minecraft, to a device that uses a different online marketplace.

If you've deleted Minecraft and want to download it again using the same app store account and device type where you first purchased it, you can visit your device's app store, search for Minecraft, and download the app again for free.

Same issue here. If I log into Minecraft on my Nintendo switch under my Nintendo account, I can see the DLC. But it will not sync over to my Microsoft account to be able to play on different devices.

Has anyone had luck syncing purchases made with a Nintendo account to a Microsoft account in Minecraft marketplace?

Hi madbanana2k8,

Thank your for posting on the Xbox forums.

Based on the Minecraft Marketplace FAQ, an Xbox Live account can be used to save purchases you make directly from the in-game Minecraft Store/Marketplace. Any purchases made through the Apple Store, would only be accessible when playing Minecraft on the
iPad and you would need to contact Apple Support for any billing issues with their Store. If you have not made an Xbox Live Account using the respective Microsoft Accounts, I suggest you do so here https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/minecraft/sign-up
as that could be the issue. Either way, the Xbox Live account will only save purchases made directly from the in-game Minecraft Store.
