    Minecraft purchase on the Nintendo Switch


    My daughter plays Minecraft on the Nintendo switch. She was not linked to a Microsoft account, only using my profile on the swicth. She has spent over $50 on minecoins for add on purchases. The purchases are visible on my Nintendo eshop purchase history. Today, she wanted to link a Microsoft account so she could do multiplayer. I set up her Microsoft account to link to the game. However, now all her purchase history is gone. We are no longer signed in as a Micosoft account in the game and still all her purchase history has been erased. She was notified by a pop up that she no longer has access to long list of worlds due to not owning them. Since the purchases were not linked to a Microsoft account, they are not visible through any microsft account. Only showing up through Nintendo eshop. How do we recover all her purchases?

    :)

    Minecraft store purchases gone after Microsoft Account login on Nintendo Switch

    Hello JuleN95 sorry the content is unable to be found at this time you can try this to see if it all show up.

    I own Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition and I’ve bought previous DLC. How do I get it to sync to Minecraft?

    1. Log into Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition on your Switch account. This will sync the latest purchases.
    2. Log into the Minecraft on your Switch and you’ll be automatically granted the entitlements for that DLC.
    Note For every purchase you make on the previous version, you must first log into
    Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition, exit, and then launch the new Bedrock version for purchases to sync. DLC purchased within
    Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition will only remain on your Nintendo Switch device and will not carried over into other devices.

    If still need further help you can visit this Minecraft for Nintendo Switch FAQ to get further information.

    Thanks

    Connecting my Nintendo Switch Lite minecraft to my devices and stuff?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. To better assist, I will need further details in terms of the error you are receiving. If I understand correctly, are you unable to access Minecraft on your new console? Did you already purchase Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch in the past?

    You may also view Nintendo Switch Technical Support for a list of troubleshooting errors with Minecraft on Nintendo Switch.

    Thank you,

    I am eligible to get bedrock edition for free because I bought Java edition in January 2022. How do I set up bedrock edition on my Nintendo switch for free?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good morning

    To set up Bedrock Edition on your Nintendo Switch for free after purchasing Java Edition in January 2022, you will need to follow these steps:

    Log in to your Mojang account on the official Minecraft website.

    Go to your account settings and look for the "Claim your free copy of Minecraft" option.

    Select the "Redeem" button next to the Nintendo Switch option.

    You will be prompted to enter your Nintendo Switch account details.

    Once you have entered your Nintendo Switch account details, the Bedrock Edition will be added to your account.

    Go to the Nintendo eShop on your Switch and search for "Minecraft."

    Download and install the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.

    Minecraft purchase on the Nintendo Switch

    Hello Tasha,

    Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum and I'm merely a user, I apologize for a delay in response.

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Your unspent Minecoins and Marketplace purchases made on your current account on Nintendo stay with that account, so they should be in there even after linking or unlinking a Microsoft account. Please make sure that you are currently signed in to the Nintendo account you used when you purchased the packs/addons on the Minecraft Marketplace.

    Please try to restore the purchases in the Marketplace and see if that will help. Go to Minecraft Marketplace > Scroll to the bottom > Click on the "Restore" button.

    If the packs you purchased are still not letting you access them and they are not in your "My Library", you may need to reach out to Minecraft support so they can help with the Marketplace contents you have purchased. https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new...

    For your reference https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/19...

    Regards,

    Belle
