    Bedrock version is open to play but the java version is no good. I have tried every way possible and nothing helped. Logging back in, deleting the launcher etc. I really need help because i don't want to pay for it again

    i bought minecraft awhile ago but in the launcher it says i need to buy it again.

    One possible solution could be to contact Minecraft support and provide them with proof of purchase such as a receipt or order confirmation email. They may be able to assist in resolving the issue and restoring access to the game.

    It's also recommended to check if there are any updates available for the launcher and to try clearing the cache and cookies to see if that helps.

    Or you can play WorldBox, similar to Minecraft, freely.

    Hi, Grayson. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    Please check the status of the transaction first for the game from your account's order history at this link, https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders.

    The status should be completed, if it is, on the Minecraft launcher page, please don't use your old Mojang account login details. You will need to click the "Go back" button on the login screen then click "Add account" and then choose "Microsoft login."

    If that doesn't work, please use the other version of the launcher which you can download from this link, https://launcher.mojang.com/download/MinecraftI....

    Minecraft Migration/Login errors

    I hit buy now and it is making me buy the game. It also says in the bottom left that it cannot connect to minecraft services on the launcher.

    Can't redeem minecraft java edition

    I'm having that exact same problem, even when I login to the launcher with the exact same profile that I know I used it only says that I can play the demo, and I've been trying to fix it for awhile now and even Minecraft support doesn't help. This is also the second time I've even bought the game and I really don't want to buy it again.
