I've owned Minecraft java for over 6.5 years at this point, and bedrock since it came out...

Okay, I see, then we are going to proceed to contact Minecraft support, to see if they can see what is happening with your account because it seems you had all the requirements.

Hi, I migrated my account back in 2021, so it was long before the deadline

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

The vanilla cape is a unique cape offered to users who owned (by purchase or by code redemption) Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on PC on the same Microsoft account before June 6, 2022

If you don’t see your cape, try refreshing the game by logging completely out and back in.

Minecraft Support cannot 'merge' two accounts to force eligibility, and account migrations that have taken place after June 6, 2022, will not be eligible for the cape.

Do you remember when did you make the migration?

i went to the website and it says i only own bedrock for pc and its telling me to buy java. I don't understand whats going on. I was able to download java when the new bundle came out as i owned bedrock.

Ok. Tried clicking buy, still does not work. Wants to charge me $35. I am stuck in the Demo version of Java until I purchase it. the thing is... I've owned Java since before Microsoft bought out Mojang. Why do I have to purchase again? I've already bought at least 8 copies of Minecraft over the years. Playstation, tablet, bedrock, mobile... then purchased copies for my son including Java a second time for him, I've had realms subscription in the past. NOW the launcher expects me to put even more money into the franchise forcing me to buy a version I already own. I can't launch it, I "migrated" it and it's still stuck on a demo version. Worse still, this happened before! this is Deja Voo. I'm about to uninstall everything and ban my son from ever playing Minecraft again.
