Help with some bedrock/PC/Xbox account minecraft fiasco.

Hi ID, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

No, if you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4 and link your Microsoft account with your PS4 account, it will not sync the purchase with the accounts. Minecraft Bedrock purchases are tied to the platform on which they are made. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PC, you will only be able to play it on PC. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4, you will only be able to play it on PS4.

However, there is an exception to this rule. If you buy Minecraft Java Edition on PC, you will also be able to play Minecraft Bedrock on your mobile device. This is because Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock are compatible with the "Minecraft Live" feature.

If you just want to play the Minecraft you paid for on your PC, you don't need to buy Minecraft Bedrock for PS4. You can download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition from the Minecraft website.

Here are some steps to download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition:

Visit the Minecraft website.
Click on the "Download Minecraft" button.
Select "Minecraft: Java Edition".
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the download.
Once you have downloaded Minecraft: Java Edition, you will be able to play it on your PC.

I hope my answer was helpful and clarified your doubts. do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other problem. have a nice day.

Hello Xx_DeepThought_xX,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

To address your question, you will have access to either the Java or Bedrock Editions of Minecraft on both accounts. We understand that you are trying to combine two accounts to play both Java and Bedrock Edition of Minecraft. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

The release of Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC was announced by Mojang on June 7 of this year [Java & Bedrock Edition for PC is out on June 7 | Minecraft]. Those who previously purchased a copy of either Java or Bedrock Edition can now play both versions. That means the answer to your question is either Java or Bedrock Edition of Minecraft will be made available to you on both accounts. Know more details here - Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC FAQ – Home

Hope that helps! If you have further concerns kindly create a new thread using this link - Create a new question or start a discussion.

Hello Daniel Glays,

We appreciate for your patience.

Based on additional research, if you bought Minecraft Java and Bedrock together but can only play Minecraft for Windows, it may be due to family sharing. If you are playing Minecraft for Windows through family sharing, you may not be able to access Minecraft: Java Edition without buying on this account.



You can also try signing out on Microsoft Store App, Xbox App, as well as Minecraft launcher then sign back in.

Or, try to validate first if the transaction is successful. Please sign in to Microsoft account | Order history and check if you can see the order from there stated as “completed”. Once confirmed sign out on Microsoft Store App, Xbox App, as well as Minecraft launcher then sign back in.

Here are some helpful links for you to check.

• Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC Standard Edition
  
• Java & Bedrock Edition for PC is out on June 7 | Minecraft
  

We are looking forward to your response.

We will be glad to follow up and help you.

If it's only Minecraft it means that it is the Minecraft Bedrock Edition that is for Xbox only, the license of Minecraft Bedrock for PC is a different license. This is why we're experiencing the issue, xTCN123x.

Hello

Welcome to Xbox Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

We are sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your Minecraft purchase. Based on research, the Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC Deluxe Edition includes both the Java Edition and the Bedrock Edition for PC, as well as the Minecraft Launcher and some additional content. You should be able to switch between games using the unified launcher and cross-play with any current edition of Minecraft.



Before we proceed, we would like to ask few questions about it.

1. What Minecraft launcher are you using?
   
2. Did you use the same account when you buy the license?
   
3. What is the current version and edition of Windows Installed? (Search for WINVER in Windows search to see this)
   
4. Do you mind sending a screenshot of the exact error message, minimizing your personal information on it?
   

These above questions would help us provide the necessary information. Once we have gathered all the information, we will formulate the viable solution to help you with your case.
