I made a purchase on my bedrock edition game on my switch, but...

Hey m00n

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are inquiring about transferring in-game content bought under your Nintendo ID account to your Microsoft Account.

There is no way to transfer any in-game content purchased in Minecraft to a separate account. Once the content is bought, it is locked under that account.

Since you purchased via the Nintendo eShop, you will have to contact
Nintendo support about the content that was purchased accidentally on your account.

I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.

Java Edition you won't be able to purchase from Xbox. You will need to purchase it from Minecraft .net

If you mean the Bedrock Edition that is crossplay enabled between Windows 10, Xbox One, mobile and Nintendo Switch you will need to purchase the game for each platform.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition for Xbox One is available on Gamepass.

So if I have bedrock edition on my iPhone then that is the edition I need for the Switch and therefore I don't need to pay for it again?

As said before I made sure to migrate the account. I signed in with my microsoft account. I still show my java edition username and skin. However, it still wants me to repurchase the game. I also own bedrock edition but wants me to purchase it also. I tried the uninstall, reinstall, and restart to no avail. Still wants to make me purchase both editions once again.

Hi Victor. I don’t know how you played Java in the past. Maybe it was via game pass.
But if the game doesn’t appear purchased in your order history, it means that you don’t know it.

About the Xbox edition, yes. It’s bedrock, but it’s the Bedrock for Xbox, not Windows

The free Java edition was granted to the people who purchased Bedrock for windows.
Any other platform is not eligible, only PC (and the opposite if you owned Java)
