cant get minecraft java to launch

Hi Christine, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you ready to assist with this

I'm sorry to hear your son is not able to play Minecraft, may I know what error code or message appears when you or he try to open the game?

And what procedures you tried to fix this?

so xbox minecraft code cant be used to redeem java minecraft?

Hello mimim2,

The Minecraft launcher you are referring to is only for the Java edition of Minecraft. The Java edition and Windows 10, are two separate games. In order to launch and play Minecraft from the launcher you are using in the last image, you must buy the Java
edition from the site, not the Windows 10 version. Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft. Annoying I know, but when Microsoft acquired Minecraft they released
their own version of the game on their platform. Hope this helps

its been a over a month and i still have the same problem i bought minecraft bedrock edition on my but i cant get java

They are not all java edition. The top one is the bedrock edition. It's just called Minecraft, and the same version is on other platforms too. Then you have the launcher, which you can use to launch any of the Minecraft games, including Legends and Dungeons. The bottom one is java edition.

If you only want to run the java edition, then the java edition is the one you want to install.
