    HELP!

    I brought Minecraft Java & bedrock version on windows 11. I go into the launcher and it only gives me the option to play the demo of the Java version. If I'm correct didn't they make it so you would get the other version free if you had the other?

    Why is it making me pay for the java version of minecraft if I have bedrock?

    Hello Raphael Hevron,

    Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

    We totally understand that you want to play Minecraft Java version.

    The Java version of Minecraft is a separate game from the Bedrock version, and it is not included with the Bedrock version. If you want to play the Java version, you will need to purchase it separately. However, if you have already purchased the Java version, you can redeem a code to get the Bedrock version for free. You can find more information on how to do this on the Minecraft website.

    Hope I helped!

    Minecraft JavaEdition

    I bought the Windows 10 version of Minecraft by mistake, but the one I wanted was the java edition.

    I saw that anyone who buys minecraft java edition is entitled to minecraft Windows 10. Is the reverse also true? Who buys minecraft windows 10 is entitled to minecraft java edition?

    If so, how do I access the java edition version at no additional cost?

    why is my xbox 360 minecraft not getting any updates past the llama and llama man?

    There are several different versions of minecraft. Minecraft: Java edition is PC only and can only crossplay with Java players (mac, Lenox, PC) The minecraft that doesnt have a version next to it is the play together version or more commonly called bedrock.
    Bedrock is the version that can be played across mobile, console, and PC. There are also editions that are made specifically for most consoles and even a stand alone mobile version. Examples would be Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
    These do not work with Bedrock which is just called Minecraft. Java is the most updated version of minecraft while bedrock would be right behind that one. The others I'm really not sure how often they update them if at all. Each edition of Minecraft has to
    be purchased separately. I happen to own both Minecraft: Xbox one edition and Minecraft since they released at separate times. I also have Java on my PC. As for your issue they do not have a Bedrock version on the 360.

    How do I play the Java version of Minecraft?

    Hi Kelseathehuman1, I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

    Is this the game that you purchase https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/minecraf...?

    If so, kindly open the Microsoft Store, then click on the profile picture in the top right corner. A pop-up box will appear allowing you to sign out then once signed out, kindly sign in again using the account that have the game then try to sign out/in from the launcher. Check if you can now play the Java version.
