Hi righN,

Thank you for the response.

Have you tried also removing and re-adding your girlfriends account from you family? If not yet, please do so and see how it goes.

If issue persists, kindly try checking this article also then follow the suggestions in sharing Windows 10 Store app with your family: Sharing Windows 10 Store Apps with your Family | Microsoft Learn

Hi righN,

Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum.



To clarify, have you already purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on your account? If so, have you made sure that your girlfriend's device is also connected to your Microsoft account through the Microsoft Store app?



If you have already purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on your account and your girlfriend's device is connected to your Microsoft account, then the issue may be related to the Family Sharing feature. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

1. Your girlfriend's device may not be set as a shared device. To check this, go to your Microsoft account settings and make sure that her device is listed as a shared device. If it is not, you can add it by clicking on "Add a device" and following the prompts.



2. Your girlfriend's account may not be set up as a family member. To check this, go to your Microsoft account settings and make sure that her account is listed as a family member. If it is not, you can add her by clicking on "Add a family member" and following the prompts.



3. There may be a delay in the Family Sharing feature. Sometimes it can take up to 24 hours for the feature to fully activate. If you have recently added your girlfriend's device or account to your family, try waiting a day and then attempting to download Minecraft Bedrock Edition again.



I hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

Kind regards,
Marrion

Yes, I do own Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Received it alongside Java Edition. Device is connected, can see her screen time and everything. She’s added as a family member. Not sure about Microsoft Store. I did connect my own account there to download the launcher. But on it, when I try to download Bedrock Edition, it says that she has to buy it. I set up family share yesterday. Tried to download again in the evening, same thing.

Why i can share Bedrock, but not Java? this editions of minecraft is in 1 launcher
