I can see that you have issues with your Minecraft account. Let me see how I can assist you with this concern.

However, in your isolated case, we’d like to know more about it in details so that we can provide a more accurate resolution for you. To start, please provide us information/answer on the following questions:

• What troubleshooting steps have you done?
  
• If you are on a PC, may I ask for Xbox app and Gaming services version?
  
  • Xbox app > select Profile picture > Settings > About.
    
• Current version and edition of Windows Installed? (Search for WINVER in Windows search to see this)

If you are Stuck on the Demo of Minecraft: Java Edition

There are two possible scenarios here that will appear in the launcher as such:

• You migrated your Mojang account to a Microsoft account and logged in using the wrong account type. If you have migrated your Mojang account, you must use your Microsoft account to log in.
  
• You purchased Minecraft: Java Edition after December 1, 2020, and logged in using the wrong account type. If you purchased after that date, you MUST use your Microsoft account to log in.
  

Please try to login with your Microsoft Account here: Log in | Minecraft





This will show the games you owned.

Try to access the game from here.

In regards with the MACs troubleshooting, I recommend raise this concern with Minecraft Support.

We're looking forward to hearing from you. If there are any inquiries about our description or if there are any misconceptions, do reply to the post.

Hmm...after writing what I said in previous post, I am having a hard time finding the article stating that they are only supporting PCs and Macs. I maybe wrong on this point.

What if I want to play Minecraft on a other PC after purchasing it on my own account? For example Lenovo to Mac, or Dell to Asus.

No, the Xbox Minecraft servers are not accessible by PC or Mac versions of the game.
