How do I get Java for free when I have previously purchased Bedrock Edition?

Also again my order history will NOT say I purchased Minecraft because I did not. As stated before, I got minecraft bedrock because Mojang gave a free code to redeem Bedrock for all Mojang users that purchased Java Edition before a certain date see article below:

How do I get free bedrock if I have Java? (wikilivre.org)

"Windows 10 has the legacy Java Edition as well as the modern Bedrock Edition. If you bought the Java Edition before October 19, 2018, you can redeem a free copy of the Bedrock Edition. You can also buy the Windows 10 edition directly from Microsoft for $20."

I did redeem this code, so again what gives?

from where did you purchase the account?

Hello and welcome to our community!

We’re excited to have you here and have great conversations! I'd be happy to be of assistance.

I'm sorry to hear about this issue. Did you recently purchase this game? Typically, you can access the Java version if you're using the same account where your Minecraft Bedrock was purchased. However, if you're trying to claim the free Java version on a different account, that won't be possible. If you've previously purchased Minecraft, you should be able to claim the other version. Here’s how:

1. Click here https://aka.ms/JavaBedrockEdition to go to the Microsoft Store listing for Minecraft: Java & Bedrock for PC.

2. Sign-in to the Microsoft Store with your Microsoft account.

3. Once you’re signed in, instead of a “Buy” button you should see a button that says “Get.” Click this button – and now you own both editions!

After you have gotten both editions, you can download and install the Minecraft Launcher to access your games.

If ever the above steps don't work or you need further assistance getting the free Java, you may reach out to Mojang support at https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions or assistance. Thanks!

Can I get Minecraft: Java Edition for free if I bought Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and i linked the Microsoft account?

No. The java and bedrock edition are completely separate from eachother so if you want the java edition you will have to purchase it

Source: me. Its what i had to do.

Hi Victor. I don’t know how you played Java in the past. Maybe it was via game pass.
But if the game doesn’t appear purchased in your order history, it means that you don’t know it.

About the Xbox edition, yes. It’s bedrock, but it’s the Bedrock for Xbox, not Windows

The free Java edition was granted to the people who purchased Bedrock for windows.
Any other platform is not eligible, only PC (and the opposite if you owned Java)
