I was able to but my friend cannot, we both got it through gamepass and i was able to get it for free but he wasn't, whats happening? i first was able to do it for my little brother on his computer and then i did the same process on mine, did it get removed or something?

You can't get minecraft Java for free if you never purchased Bedrock (only the PC edition applies)

Yes, you can play the game if you have a game pass subscription active.
But if you cancel the subscription the game is going to ask you to buy it

You can double check the FAQ here:

What if the subscription ends? Do i still get to play the game? And will I get a Minecraft account when I purchase xbox gamepass?

you don't get access to the java version of minecraft with gamepass. you must purchase the java version on the mojang website.

Hello huh_605,

Only in case that you bought it before October 19th 2019 : https://www.windowscentral.com/moja...pies-minecraft-windows-10-java-edition-owners

No, you will gave to buy it for a separate platform. I believe the bedrock windows 10 version is also not free for Java users anymore.
