    Can I switch minecraft accounts on the same PC but not have it purchased on both?


    So my little sister had a minecraft world that me and her built it together in the past couple of years on Bedrock edition on PS4, we bought minecraft there on the PS store and she logged in there with her microsoft account.

    I recently got a new PC and wanted to buy minecraft Bedrock on it, so I'm planning to purchasing it on MY microsoft account. However, I want her to be able to also log in to my PC on her microsoft account and access our world ( I already looked up how we can move the world to my PC using Realms ), my question here is, can she log in to her microsoft account on my PC even though I bought minecraft on my account?

    :)

    Hi Lucas, Thanks for your quick response

    I need to make sure because I don't think I'll buy the game if I can't open her account on my PC, because I want to continue working on the world we have and the ps4 we have is getting kind of old and laggy, so I can't test this that's why I had to make sure here

    Hello, Msrg98. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

    For some games, signing in to the Microsoft store with the account that purchased the game (in this case, yours) and on the game launcher or the Xbox app with the account that wants to play the game (in this case, your sister) works.

    But I'm almost completely sure this doesn't work with Minecraft since it connects to your Microsoft account on the launcher. You can test, but I think it will not work.

    If this method does not work, unfortunately your little sister would need to purchase Minecraft on her account.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.

    If you want to be sure, keep with the no. I'm almost pretty sure this is not possible for Minecraft since Minecraft does not uses the Xbox app to sign in, but its own launcher.

    Minecraft for Xbox One Attempting to Que a 0KB Update

    I was having this same issue, and I got the update to go away when I closed out Minecraft on my Switch. The switch version was using my microsoft account, so it may be that your account is signed in on Switch or PC.

    Why wont my minecraft purchases sync with my microsoft account

    Hello Kaysonssssssssss,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I can see that you're having trouble with your Minecraft purchases on Switch. I know how frustrating that can be.



    There are a few possible reasons why your purchases might not transfer over. One is that you might have different versions of Minecraft on your devices. Make sure you have the Bedrock Edition on both your Xbox and Switch, and that they are updated to the latest version.



    Another reason is that you might not have signed in to the same Microsoft account on both devices. To check this, go to Settings > Profile > Sign in to Microsoft Account on both your Xbox and Switch, and make sure they show the same email address.
