We understand that you are trying to play Minecraft and is unable to because the license was not found in your account. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

May we confirm where did you make the purchase of Minecraft Java? Is it through Microsoft Store or Minecraft website? This can only be answered by you. If the license cannot be found on the account you are logging in to. You might need to contact support for assistance.

Hey there. Hope this doesn't bum you out - but I'm not tech savvy enough to answer most of your questions... I can, however, offer some insight on questions 4 and 5.

So, here's what I can help you with lol.

4. You do not need to create an Xbox Profile for Minecraft Java. MC Java is a separate version of MC from some of the other versions. Think of MC Java as the 'OG' or 'classic' version of Minecraft - you know the good one . Minecraft Bedrock is the version you 'need' an Xbox/Microsoft account for. Bedrock is the console version that's more colloquially known as the Windows 10 version - which again, is separate from MC Java. So, your Mojang account is all you need.

5. I believe you can in fact link your Mojang account to Minecraft Bedrock in its menus but, to 'buy' Minecraft with your Microsoft Account you would have to buy it through the Microsoft/Windows Store and that version would in fact be Bedrock (like I said) and not Java. Java can be bought straight up via the MC website: Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft You would never need to delete any account for anything. If Java is the version, you're looking for (which in my opinion Java is the best version, even though I play Bedrock frequently on my Xbox) then you'd get it through there with your Mojang account. I believe you can link your Microsoft Account since Microsoft and Mojang have a partnership/thing now with Minecraft but, for Java it isn't needed I don't believe.

Your other questions could for sure be answered by the smart people on the Java Minecraft sub-reddit. I think you should make a post there too! Minecraft Java (reddit.com)

Hope I kind of helped, lol.

What version of Minecraft is this? Java? Can you provide some more details on the world and setup? How are you trying to connect? What version of Minecraft are you trying to use to join and what version of whatever edition is the world created in? There
are some versions that are cross-play (Bedrock Editions), and others that do not (Xbox One Edition, Java edition).

What errors do you get specifically when it doesn't let you join?

We can help troubleshoot, but will need a bit more information to get to the bottom of it.
