    Can not purchase MiceCraft Java Edition on Mac


    Hi,

    My son wants to buy MineCraft Java Edition on his iMac, but it keeps displaying this. I have already added him into a family group from my Macbook, but I did not find anywhere I can grant him the permission.

    Another issue is the payment option, I added my credit card by using his account, but when I login in the family safe page and click the spending menu, it still shows 'No credit card.'

    We both use Mac OS and do not have XBox, but he wants to play MineCraft on his iMac, the guide in the website in quiet confusing, I really appreciate if anyone can advise.

    Thank you JosefLBohorquez for your reply. I added a new account and my son's as organizer. But I can not grant permission or other setting since 'Location not shared', it asked me to download Family safety app to share the location. It doesn't make any sense. And I can not pay 'Minecraft: Java Edition' on official website by using my son's account. My son is only 12 years old and how could he be the organizer. The whole process and UX really sucks! Can not believe it is from Microsoft.

    That's the first time previous steps doesn't work.

    May I know if you changed your sons year date too?

    Could you use your sons account on incognito mode and then remove himself on the family tab.

    Then open a new incognito mode and try again add him as organizer.

    And it would be nice try waiting couple hours or even until tomorrow in case Microsoft servers are still processing this recent change on his account.

    Finally try again

    Hi and thanks for reaching Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.
    I'll be happy to assist you out today.

    Hope you're doing great today mate

    Pease try this:

    Create a new account that can be considered as an adult account (try using another web browser or incognito mode).

    Once done, add your main account (sons) as organizer via the link below. (you can see in the new account an "add member" button
    https://account.microsoft.com/family/

    Please double check that you select your main account as organizer too, not member.

    Once successfully added, sign out from your account everywhere and restart your PC
    Then log in your account again and try downloading the game.

    Just to double check, please check if birthdate is more than 18

    If I get the Xbox Ultimate Gamepass, can I use the Minecraft launcher on Macintosh to buy Java edition?

    If the launcher is available for the Mac, then you won't need to purchase Java edition, as the game is included with Game Pass Ultimate anyway. If you log in with the account you got ultimate with, then you can launch the Java edition from the launcher.

    I'm being asked to buy Minecraft: Java and Bedrock edition although I have already owned Bedrock for years and I have Java on my laptop.

    Hi Victor. I don’t know how you played Java in the past. Maybe it was via game pass.
    But if the game doesn’t appear purchased in your order history, it means that you don’t know it.

    About the Xbox edition, yes. It’s bedrock, but it’s the Bedrock for Xbox, not Windows

    The free Java edition was granted to the people who purchased Bedrock for windows.
    Any other platform is not eligible, only PC (and the opposite if you owned Java)

    You can double check this here:
    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/66...

    “I have Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Switch/Mobile/PlayStation/another platform besides PC, Mac or Linux. Do I get Java Edition for free?

    Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC is only for the PC, Mac, and Linux platforms at the moment. This offer does not apply to consoles or other versions of Minecraft.”
