    My account was charged for game pass for pc and it says i have it but i cant play Minecraft Java

    As previously noted. Microsoft owns Minecraft, however Minecraft Java is not a Microsoft or Xbox game. The PC equivalent is “Minecraft Windows 10 edition” the Java version is a separate game not part of Minecraft bedrock, their-for not cross play with other devices.

    Xbox owns W10 edition not Java edition

    Minecraft will not open via launcher, only through microsoft store.

    Hello mimim2,

    The Minecraft launcher you are referring to is only for the Java edition of Minecraft. The Java edition and Windows 10, are two separate games. In order to launch and play Minecraft from the launcher you are using in the last image, you must buy the Java
    edition from the site, not the Windows 10 version. Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft. Annoying I know, but when Microsoft acquired Minecraft they released
    their own version of the game on their platform. Hope this helps

    Hi Abdullah, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Currently, there's an issue with the Mojang Servers causing this error.

    You can try a few troubleshooting steps that have worked for some players.

    Please, reset the store and try installing the game again.

    To Reset the Store, Press the Windows Key + R > Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.

    Then, on the Microsoft Store, type your game name: "Minecraft".

    Close the store and reopen it.

    Load the game page and click on "Install".

    Another option is to download the launchers directly from the Minecraft Website:

    https://www.minecraft.net/msaprofile

    Try installing the legacy launcher: https://aka.ms/minecraftClientWindows

    In case none of these options work, please, look for the purchase in your Transaction History.

    Sign in here:

    https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders?period=AllTime&type=All

    Then, copy the order number and contact Xbox Support.

    https://support.microsoft.com/home/contact

    Then, follow these steps:

    Type in your query: "Agent"

    Click on Get Help.

    Scroll down the page and click on Contact Support.

    Select your "Other Products" and "Billing and Account Profile Questions" > Confirm.

    Select "Chat with a support agent in your web browser" > Confirm > Start Chat.

    I hope this helps.

    Minecraft Launcher not recognizing my owned games

    I just accessed it with the old launcher and it was able to recognize that I own Minecraft Java Edition. However, I cannot access Minecraft for Windows with that launcher and thus I cannot play Windows Edition.
