  1. Lost access to Full version of Minecraft Java Edition after HDD swap


    I previously purchased a copy of Minecraft Java Edition and used to be able to play normally without any issue.

    I migrated accounts from Mojang to Microsoft with no problem and was still able to play Minecraft.

    Then I had to switch HDDs and since that moment (using the same Microsoft Account) I stopped having access to the full version of the game, it tells me to "Buy Now".

    How can I regain access to my copy of the game?

    :)

    Lost access to Full version of Minecraft Java Edition after HDD swap

    Hello Bianca, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

    Not a Microsoft employee.

    May I know if you're using the correct Migrated account on the Microsoft store, the Xbox app and the Minecraft launcher?

    Meanwhile, please try the next possible solution:

    1. Sign out from your account on the Xbox, the Minecraft launcher and the Microsoft Store

    2. Reset the Microsoft store cache using the wreset.exe command.

    You can follow detailed instructions here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/m...

    3. Sign in with the account that owns the game on all the apps.

    4. Open the Minecraft launcher and verify if you can install Java edition.

    Additionally, I want to ask if you already tried all the possible solutions provided in this related Mojang article:

    Hi Manuela,

    Thank you very much for the reply.

    The issue persisted even after your suggested fixes...

    But I contacted Mojang support and after a quick conversation there was a crucial detail that led me to finally recover my account!

    I'll leave it here in case anyone else has the same issue:

    Basically when I migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft account, it ended up linking it to a Microsoft account in a different domain.

    In my particular case, my Mojang account was linked to a gmail account. After the migration I know have a Microsoft account with that exact domain!

    (e.g., the Microsoft account's email is literally <...>@gmail.com).

    Try to login with "Microsoft Account" in the Minecraft launcher, but then use the email you used on Mojang!

    After months of headaches this is a huge relief...

    Minecraft JavaEdition

    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?

    I can't get out of the Minecraft Windows 10 Beta

    Hi Marshmellow 630,

    I believe Brad was referring to the Java edition but his point was that the beta does not give you access to the full version of the Windows 10 edition and it will need to be bought separately. Back then you could download the Windows 10 edition for free
    if you had the PC (Java) edition when the full version of the Windows 10 edition released. I'm not sure that is the case now.

    The only information I found regarding a Minecraft Windows 10 beta was an actual beta released in 2015 to test the Windows 10 edition before the full version released. This beta was separate and had to be downloaded from the Store and does not seem to be
    a part of the full version of the game, which would need to be purchased separately.

    Do you have confirmation you have purchased the full version of Minecraft Windows 10 edition? Check you order history to make sure:
