Hi eprompc,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community Forum. I hope you're doing

Based on your description, you are asking if it is okay to purchase a new Minecraft Bedrock on the same Microsoft Account that has already an existing Minecraft Bedrock account. I would be happy to answer your question.

To answer your question, it is not possible for you to have two Minecraft Bedrock account on the same Microsoft Account. You will need to have a separate Microsoft Account if you want to purchase a new Minecraft account. As stated on the support article that each Minecraft purchase will use a different Microsoft account login. Minecraft for Windows: Multiple Accounts on One Computer – Home

Hope it answers your questions.

There is the Older minecraft xbox one edition and the Minecraft bedrock edition which when you hover over it is just called "Minecraft" Your sons friends might be playing on the older one while your son has a different version

Hi ID, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

No, if you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4 and link your Microsoft account with your PS4 account, it will not sync the purchase with the accounts. Minecraft Bedrock purchases are tied to the platform on which they are made. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PC, you will only be able to play it on PC. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4, you will only be able to play it on PS4.

However, there is an exception to this rule. If you buy Minecraft Java Edition on PC, you will also be able to play Minecraft Bedrock on your mobile device. This is because Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock are compatible with the "Minecraft Live" feature.

If you just want to play the Minecraft you paid for on your PC, you don't need to buy Minecraft Bedrock for PS4. You can download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition from the Minecraft website.

Here are some steps to download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition:

Visit the Minecraft website.
Click on the "Download Minecraft" button.
Select "Minecraft: Java Edition".
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the download.
Once you have downloaded Minecraft: Java Edition, you will be able to play it on your PC.

I hope my answer was helpful and clarified your doubts. do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other problem. have a nice day.

Hi there

Thanks for this.

Just so I am clear:

The Microsoft account that purchased Minecraft has to be logged into Microsoft Store app through that same Microsoft account on the same computer that my son is using or simply though the Microsoft account on any computer?

Separately, presumably we can have both Minecraft Bedrock and Java on the same computer?
