I just bought minecraft java edition but it shows an error every time i try to open it

Hello DarkSoulBG24,

Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with Minecraft Java Edition. Could you please confirm for me where did you purchase the Java Edition from? Also, are you using the Game Pass for the PC version? This 0x803F8001 means we’re having trouble checking usage rights(Ownership) or that the game is no longer on Game Pass. But, the game is available in the service, so the last part of the error code is not the case. Let me provide you with a couple of troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue, and hopefully, we can solve this problem.

Solution 1:

1. Would you please make sure you are signed in with the correct Microsoft account or Mojang account email?
   
2. Uninstall the game and reinstall
   

Solution 2:

1. Reset the Windows Store and Xbox App
   
2. Press the Windows button on your keyboard + the I key or click on the lower-left corner of the screen on the Windows icon (Start menu)
   
3. Open Settings
   
4. Go to Apps -> Apps & features.
   
5. On the right side, look for Microsoft Store and search for the Xbox app; click it.
   
6. The advanced options link will appear. Click it
   
7. On the next page, click on the Reset button to reset Microsoft Store to default settings.
   

It will repair the Microsoft Store app package. It will reset its cache and should resolve your issues with apps.

Solution 3: Here are some additional steps from Mojang Minecraft: Java Edition Installation Issues FAQ – Home

Solution 4: Troubleshoot game installations on a Windows device | Xbox Support Scroll down to Still having problems; Below are the steps on how to Reinstall the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10/11 device:

1. Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type PowerShell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.
   
2. In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
   
3. get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
   
4. In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:
   
5. start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
   
6. Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
   
7. Restart your device and try to install the game again.
   

I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as “Answered.”

I did contact support already and they told me to update and get something that I think was called windows media. I am on windows and I'm trying to play Minecraft java edition. I get this error when I open the Minecraft launcher it gives me that error.

Thanks for taking the time to share it. If you sign in to the Minecraft website, are you able to redeem Minecraft Java Edition there, does it show that you also own Java Edition or it asks you to buy Java Edition?

I bought Java Edition on 24 May 2022. But I refunded it.

I bought the Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC (the Bundle, released two days ago) on Minecraft official website (https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-bedrock-edition-pc). on 8 June 2022.

I have uninstalled the Minecraft Launcher and reinstalled it.

I bought the Windows 10 version of Minecraft by mistake, but the one I wanted was the java edition.

I saw that anyone who buys minecraft java edition is entitled to minecraft Windows 10. Is the reverse also true? Who buys minecraft windows 10 is entitled to minecraft java edition?

If so, how do I access the java edition version at no additional cost?
