Minecraft for Microsoft Windows 10: code says 'redeemed'

When you redeemed your Java Minecraft on Mojang, you have gotten a 5x5 code to redeem Minecraft on the Windows 10 store.

This redemption is a separate service of your Mojang account, and it's possible to use a Microsoft Account email that is different from your Mojang account email.

Mojang (which gives you Java Minecraft) is separate from the Microsoft Windows Store App, which uses a Microsoft Account email when you redeemed that 5x5 code.

After redemption of that code, the Windows 10 Minecraft is tied to the Microsoft Account email you used on your Windows 10 PC. From then on, you don't really need the Mojang account anymore, if you only want to play on Windows 10. You will then get the game
from the Windows 10 store only, with the E-Mail account you used on the Windows 10 store during code redemption.

So make sure you are signed in with the Microsoft Account email (which might not necessarily be the Mojang account email) when you use the Windows 10 Store app to re-download your Windows 10 Minecraft again.

I am trying to redeem a Minecraft windows 10 edition key from the Mojang website.

This is the prompt I am trying to redeem from:

Minecraft for Windows 10

You bought Minecraft: Java Edition during a period of time when Minecraft for Windows 10 was included for free. Claim your redeemable gift code by clicking the button below and follow the instructions. As you
might have guessed, Minecraft for Windows 10 can only be played on Windows 10.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It allows for users who have purchased the java edition of the game to then redeem a code for the windows 10 edition of the game.

This is the error message that pops up:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error! It looks like we've temporarily run out of gift codes for Minecraft for Windows 10. Don't worry though, more codes should be on their way. Please check back later!

Thanks for any help!

im having the same problem says the redeem code for windows 10 has already been redeemed but i haven't used it or i haven't played minecraft for years

Hi Vid30gameMADlol,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue with Minecraft for Windows 10.

Minecraft for Windows 10 is still available for download if you've previously purchased it or redeemed a code; however, it is no longer separately sold and now comes with the

Minecraft for Windows 10 Starter Collection and Minecraft for Windows 10 Master Collection as
it is the base game.

As you've indicated that you redeemed a code for the game, you should be able to go to the Microsoft store while logged into your account, navigate to the game's page and select to download it. You will also want to make sure that you can view the redemption
in the same Microsoft account that you use for gaming on your PC. Check your Xbox purchase history is a great resource for beginning to
locate the code redemption in your Microsoft/Xbox account.

Redeem a gift card or code to your Microsoft account can provide you with help and solutions when redeeming codes for games
and other items, such as: "If this is a Windows 10 game or app, launch the Microsoft Store app on your device and then select >
My Library > All owned."

Give the troubleshooting solutions a try and let us know the results.

I hope that this helps you out.

I redeemed my code a few years back, have downloaded it many times, but now it says that I do not own the game, and I have to "purchase I the Minecraft: Starter Pack" Please help, this is very frustrating.

I am not an expert, and I have the same problem. I first bought the "Minecraft: Java Edition", I wanted to use the redeem code to get "Minecraft for Windows 10", so I clicked "Redeem", I got the code, but when I entered it, it said "The code has already
been redeemed.", I checked my order history, it said that I had bought "Minecraft for Windows 10" using the code, but when I clicked install, it keeps showing me a small window with my code. I then checked whether if the account/email on Mojang, Minecraft.net,
and Microsoft Store, it was the same. So I don't get why I can't install "Minecraft for Window 10".
