Cant access my gifted one year ago minecraft java (it has nothing to do with not being able...

Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft game.

I just want to clarify, does the Minecraft Java and Bedrock edition appear on your account transaction? To confirm this, kindly sign in to account.microsoft.com > order history > select the date of range when you redeemed your Minecraft gift codes a year ago.

If it does show up, please perform the following workarounds according to the official Mojang Support: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4408948974989-Minecraft-Java-Edition-Demo-Mode-

"Ensure you have logged into the correct Microsoft Account that purchased Minecraft. You can locate your Microsoft Account on the Microsoft Help Page.​​ https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...username-b2049472-3b8f-27d3-61c6-67a668453f4c

Other possible issues could be:

Your launcher is out of date. Update via Settings > About or re-download the Minecraft Launcher. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

You purchased Minecraft under a different email address, or the email address has been changed. Be sure to check your account page to verify your purchase of Minecraft. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/login?return_url=https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/msaprofile

Your purchase was refunded. In this case, you will have received an email from Minecraft and will need to re-purchase the game from the Minecraft Store. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/min...

You just purchased Minecraft while the account was logged into the launcher, or you have not yet chosen a Java profile name. Be sure to restart your launcher and re-try.

Make sure your system meets the system requirements. https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us...ation-Issues-FAQ#h_01FFJMSQWJH31CH16H63GX4YKE "

So , i have their same problem. Afyer migrating my mojang account to microsoft i cant find my bought minecraft anymore but i bought many years ago with my mojang account (java edition , i also have the email confirmation of the redemption of the gift card) . After contacting mojang they all lead me here to microsoft support

I changed it well over a year ago. But I cant try to get it to update again because of the fact that it says that I already own that gamertag and still need to use it!

Also, if I Use the new minecraft launcher, its trying to get me to pick a new tag for java minecraft, but Im happy with my current name. But I cant input my current name do to the fact that I already own my current name, and have for years.

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your help!
I am indeed using Minecraft Java edition on the PC.

Logging in and out doesn't seem to be the problem. I think the marketplace is only accessible using the betrock/windows edition. I can go to the marketplace there and still purchase items through this method.

If I am logged into Minecraft Java edition and go to Minecraft Realms it will show me the option to renew a realm which takes me to minecraft.net (Profile>Wallet & Realms) where I normally renewed my realms for Java edition. For this, the payment option has been a problem. I remember being able to renew it using this method not too long ago.

Good evening dgl_thrawn,

I'm still experiencing the same issue as you wrote about.

I migrated my account at the beginning of this month.

I've contacted support and had exchanged messages relating to possible solutions. I was asked to delete and re-add accounts, try alternative launcher etc.

I'm logging in to my only Microsoft account and the launcher only offers me the demo of the game, and not access to my previously created worlds.

I've tried everything they suggested by nothing works.

I purchased the windows version of Minecraft a few years ago with my same Microsoft account and I purchased the Java edition shortly after, using my separate Mojang account.

Even though I have proof of purchase of BOTH version of the game I still am being forced to settle for the Java demo or BUY THE JAVA EDITION FOR A SECOND TIME. I'm not doing this.

It wouldn't be an issue if I was able to load Java edition worlds up in the Windows edition...........but that is not an option.

Never mind.
