    How do you play Minecraft with an Xbox account different from the store account?


    Hello, I have a Xbox account that I created in 2008 with a non-microsoft email provider and a Microsoft account that I use separately for work, normally to play games I bought them on the work account on Microsoft Store and I login in Xbox with the old account, it works with all the games I have downloaded up until this point.

    Recently I wanted to play Minecraft Java and it's says I don't own it despide my Microsoft store (on work account) saying I own it. The rare thing is that Bedrock has been working well, it's only Java the problem. It's there a solution to this problem?

    :)

    Hi Hank

    Sorry to hear about that, however, since you have a different Store account from what you use for gaming, unfortunately, the access for Java isn't shareable. Only the account that has the game (your work email) has access to it. Try to sign in using that account on the Xbox app and the Minecraft launcher to access this version of the game.

    You may refer here: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/66... and look for "I family-share my account with my children, will they get both versions of Minecraft?" and it states that "No, only the account that purchased Java or Bedrock will have access to Java Edition. Family sharing will work for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition." - Same goes for you, as you have a different Store account.

    Thanks.

    Help me please. Achievements and Marketplace inventory has been reset.

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this GALAXYGMRYT

    If I recall correctly Minecraft from the Amazon AppStore is a different version from the Google play store
    Each game use a different account in order to show your achievements and inventory.

    If you connected your Microsoft account you should be able to see the purchased items in the marketplace

    If possible please download Minecraft again from the Google play store and verify if you’re able to see your things and achievements again

    Microsoft und Xbox Livekonto zusammenführen

    Hi there,

    I'm afraid it is not possible to merge accounts into one account.

    You should however be able to use a different account to play Minecraft, but you may have to sign into a different account on the Store App and perhaps the Xbox App to be able to use the other account.

    Minecraft xbox account

    Hello Julian Ashley,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have an interpretation of your issue however it is still vague, or I cannot connect how you can play the game that was bought 6-7 years ago recently and had issues with the 2 different accounts.

    This query you had seems to be referring to legacy Minecraft account. So, the first credential for Minecraft is now called legacy Minecraft account then there is a migration to Mojang account. For this part of migration, if you successfully migrated your account legacy Minecraft account to Mojang account. The missing step is the new migration of Mojang account to Microsoft account.

    If you did not use this Mojang account to Microsoft account, then we do not need to sign in to Microsoft account. However, we still have not isolate the issue properly so please bear with me.

    Please see the timeline and let me know if there is something you can add or correct:

    • We migrated MC to the MS/Xbox account several years ago when MS brought out Mojang and everyone had to move to MS accounts.
      • (legacy Minecraft account to Mojang account)
      • How many accounts were migrated?
      • Do you play the game or just created an account?
    • Minecraft was acquired by Microsoft year 2014. Source: Microsoft purchases 'Minecraft' - Stories
    • You bought Minecraft 6-7 years ago (2016 - 2015) and there is no transaction ID.
      • May we know in what store did you bought Minecraft? Is it Microsoft Store or Minecraft or local physical store?
      • Did you purchase Minecraft for Windows or what edition?
      • Did you buy two copies or one?
      • What is the domain of this email (sample email domain: @live.com, @msn.com, @outlook.com, @hotmail.com)?
    • I've only ever used this email for all of the MC accounts I have used for my children.
      • When was the last time your children played the game?
      • Are they sharing same credentials, or you sign them in before they play Minecraft?
      • Do they have Xbox achievements while playing Minecraft?
    • I have 2 different Xbox profiles associated with 2 different Java MC accounts.
      • So, the Xbox profiles you mean here can be sign out and sign back in and play on the same Minecraft game?
      • What is the Operating System of your Windows device? Windows 11 or Windows 10?

    We look forward for your reply.

    Minecraft Redeem code not working anymore

    Because you may have redeemed the Minecraft PC bundle code on a different account. Try to check the account that is signed in to your Microsoft Store PC, if it's different from the one you're using in Minecraft then try to check the order history of that account.
