Minecraft Accounts and Purchases

Thank you for the information!

Oh, no worries, the Xbox account, and Microsoft account are one and the same.

Minecraft accounts are also migrated/linked to Microsoft accounts.

In order to check your purchases made in your Minecraft account, you can sign in using the same email address as your Minecraft account on account.microsoft.com from there you should be able to see the "Services and Subscription" tab to check if the subscription for Minecraft Education is active.

As for the purchases, you can also check all of your Minecraft purchases on account.microsoft.com > Payment and billing > order history.

If the subscription and purchase can't be found, it is possible that it was made on a different Microsoft account.

That’s odd because if this is the Minecraft for Windows it will be purchased through Microsoft Store. The Minecraft that can be purchased through Mojang is Minecraft Java Edition.

Kindly make sure that you’re signed in under the account where the Mojang account was migrated. Please try other Microsoft accounts as well.

In the case of Minecraft Java, you will need to purchase Minecraft on your son's account, unfortunately.

"If you are purchasing Minecraft: Java Edition for a child, the child must have their own Minecraft account. And to make the purchase, you must sign in to their account to do so; games cannot be transferred between accounts."

For more information, please refer to:

Now, since you purchased it on a Mojang account, maybe they can open an exception for you or give you a discount on the second purchase for your son. You can try to contact their official support:

"No purchases made with this account"

I purchased my minecraft account from mojang like 6 years ago...

Hi King, I hope you are well.

Please check these steps.

If you are unable to access Minecraft: Java Edition after purchasing, it is essential to verify that the Microsoft account used for the purchase is being used correctly in the game launcher. Make sure you are logging in with the same credentials and also verify that the purchase was actually recorded in the purchase history in the Microsoft account.

Steps to verify:

1. Verify the account:

Make sure you are logging in to the Minecraft Launcher with the correct Microsoft account.

If the account is not associated with the purchase, you will need to reset the account and try again.

2. Check the purchase history:

Go to account.microsoft.com and log in to your Microsoft account.

Go to "Payment & billing" > "Order history" and verify that the Minecraft purchase is listed.

3. Reset applications:

Sign out of the Minecraft Launcher, Xbox and Microsoft Store.

Reset apps in Windows Settings:

Go to "Apps" and select "Advanced options."

Choose "Reset" for Minecraft Launcher, Xbox, and Microsoft Store.

Restart your PC and try again.
