    How can I get my minecraft back without buying it again?


    I rested my computer and after that my Minecraft didn't work. I tried many things to get it back. Btw. I played on Java Edition. Can anyone help me here. If I need to buy Minecraft again and use my old account will my worlds and the progress on servers be saved?

    :)

    Hi Hulin!

    To make sure you signed in with the right account, does it show your correct username when you login to your Minecraft Java game?

    Be sure to sign in the same Microsoft account to your Microsoft Store app and the Xbox app.

    Can I get minecraft on my phone without buying it again?

    Hi Tomkat818, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    No, the Android license is different.

    Different platforms have different licenses.

    You will need to purchase it again.

    Minecraft forgot that I already have it after migrating to Microsoft account

    No, I know that. The Microsoft account is the problem, it thinks I don’t have Minecraft and is making me buy it again. I want to know how to reverse the migration and get my Mojang account back. Is there any way at all for me to get Minecraft back, or do I have to buy it again?

    How do i get my account back without buying it?

    Hi Skittle,

    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. If you don't see Minecraft, it means that you purchased the game using a different Microsoft account.

    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.

    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
