How to purchase minecoins with my microsoft account and not my icloud account

Hello Olive,

Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum, I will be responding to you in short period of time and I apologize for a delay in response. As I am merely a user trying to provide insight and information that may be helpful.

If you play on iPad, there is no way to purchase using Microsoft Balance directly in there. What you can do is purchase through Minecraft.net, just login your Microsoft account in there and then use your MS balance as your payment method. Your Minecoins should appear on your iPad in-game after purchasing.

You can follow the guide in here on how to purchase through Minecraft.net https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/31...

As for your child settings, I'm afraid only your parent/family organizer can make any changes. You will have to ask them to change the settings for you. What is unavailable for you exactly?

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Belle

I have a $5 Xbox giftcard from Microsoft Rewards that was loaded into my account. How do I purchase minecoins with it. I am playing Minecraft Pocket Edition on my phone.

Hi Troy,

Welcome to the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to try and help here.

So if I understand correctly, you are trying to add 10$ to your child's Microsoft Account to purchase Minecoins, is that correct? When exactly does that error occur?

I want to clarify that Minecoins are purchased in-game through the Minecraft Marketplace and are not purchasable through the Microsoft Store. You can only redeem codes for Minecoins in the Microsoft Store. What device does your child use to play Minecraft?
I'm not entirely sure what payment options they give you in-game when trying to purchase Minecoins but if you log in to a Microsoft Account when playing Minecraft, the purchases you make in-game are saved to the account.

I suggest following the steps on the following page for an alternative to add money to your child's account:

I hope this helps!

we purchased minecoins through the apple store, and then used the minecoins to purchase the minecraft assets. i have a ios purchase history of buying minecoins ... but no history of assets bought with the minecoins. nor can i seem to restore said purchases.
thats a huge problem! why cant i see this on my account?

needless to say, we will not be making any more purchases. ever since microsoft integrated minecraft with xbox live the experience has gone downhill.

Hey Paul, I am also having issues loging in with the XBOX app on iPhone.

I am able to login using browser(xbox website) but not through the app.

My Microsoft account uses Gmail, As well as my iCloud account. I think the app is trying to use the password from my iCloud, which has the same email address, instead of using the password for the MS account.
