I can't do the JAVA version of Minecraft that I got with the promo code

Where did you get the Promo code from? Is it a legitimate code?

1. remove the code from your post.

2. that code would most likely be for the windows 10 version.

3. java version has to be bought from the mojang website directly as it is not available on the Microsoft store.

Thanks for the quick answer. I managed to find the Java folder and tried inserting the code on the latest version installation, but it gives me this error:

Your Java Runtime is incompatible. Please edit your installation to use the bundled Java Runtime.

Name: Java Version mismatch

URL: https://aka.ms/jnierror

I assume the Java version isn't compatible with the latest Minecraft version? However, when I tried with a 1.8.9 installation, I got another error. First it opens a Java code window and then it gives me this error on the launcher:

The game crashed: initializing game

Error: org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

Hi!

See, but the issue here is that my Minecraft worked perfectly when I first got my PC (August 23rd 2022) I could get on both versions of my Minecraft, and no lag happened. Now I can't get on Java due to that error, and my other version is extremely laggy.

Is there anything I can do?

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!
