I have to purchase minecraft?

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 Holly

If your console includes a free copy of Minecraft probably you redeemed it on your account.
In order to download and play the game you need to use the same account.

You can find the account used to redeemed the game checking your Microsoft account order history here:
https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

Make sure to filter by "all available" and if you have more than one email address check on each one

Hi Luis! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft.

Based on your description, the error suggests that the system can't find the Minecraft game license on your Microsoft account.

Your Minecraft account must have migrated to the original Microsoft account email address where it was first created.

In order to fix this, you will need to find the Microsoft account where your Minecraft was migrated and where your Minecraft game license was purchased.

Kindly sign in to all of your Microsoft email accounts on account.microsoft.com > payment and billing > order history > select the date of range when you purchased your Minecraft game.

From there, check if you have any Minecraft transactions. If you have found the transactions, use the same Microsoft account to log in to Minecraft Launcher.

If you're unable to find the Minecraft game transaction, check your other Microsoft email accounts' order history.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

Hi Mateus

I have checked over my purchase history on the link below but I cant see my minecraft purchase. It might be because I could have got it free due to owning the previous Minecraft console edition so it wont appear on my purchase history. However it shows that I have bought multiple things from the Minecraft Marketplace and they appear on the purchase history. I have checked again and Minecraft is still not in my library and shows it needs to be bought.

Thanks for your support and Welcome

The purchase shows as 'completed' under order history. I dont have an xbox, this is on my son's laptop. I purchased the deluxe edition and it said it was available for PC. I have just installed the minecraft launcher, minecraft and minecraft java separately but there are none of features of the deluxe edition.

Did you purchase Minecraft or Minecraft for Windows 10? If you went through the website, you may have purchased Minecraft which is for the console, not Minecraft for Windows 10 which is for the PC.
