  1. Can’t get Java even though I have bedrock


    I still can't redeem/get java or bedrock Minecraft though the other one. I own bedrock on a microsoft account, and have just found out that I could get java just by having my account, but in the launcher when I go to the java tab it just offers the demo and the option to buy it, and when I go to the microsoft/xbox store and log into my account, there is no get button for java edition or the package bundle. Does anyone who has had this issue share fixes or their experience. Thanks.

    :)

    Hi mr developer Gamer,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I am sorry that you are still prompted that you have to buy the game, even if you already purchased Minecraft. As part of our initial troubleshooting, kindly make sure that you are logged in using the same Microsoft account where you purchased the game. If you purchased it from Microsoft store, you may check it by going to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

    Once confirmed that you are using the correct account, please follow my recommendations below.

    1. Delete the Minecraft launcher that exists on your computer.

    2. Restart your computer.

    3. Install legacy Minecraft launcher for Windows.

    https://aka.ms/minecraftClientWindows

    Once reinstalled, continue with these instructions.

    1. Open Minecraft launcher.

    2. If you are already logged in, click on your image and Gamer tag in the upper left corner of the screen and then on "Logout".

    3. After logging out, delete all accounts registered in the launcher by clicking on the "X" next to each account.

    4. In the Minecraft launcher, enter the Microsoft email and password where you confirmed that you has Java.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Hi mr,

    4. In the Minecraft launcher, enter the Microsoft email and password.

    If you bought Minecraft from Microsoft Store, you have to go to Microsoft Store>My Library then look for Minecraft and install.

    Make sure you're signed into the Store app with the same Microsoft account that you used to buy the game.

    If the above steps did not work, please clear the cache of the Microsoft store. Go to Settings> System> Apps & features> Click Store> Advanced options> Reset.

    After the reset, log in with the Microsoft account that has Minecraft Java and reinstall Launcher.

    Hope this solves your issue, please do let me know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Why can’t I get Java edition even though I bought the Minecraft Java and Bedrock bundle?

    Did you log into the account you bought the bundle in? If not that's probably the problem
