Minecraft Java asks me to buy again.

Arsalan_824 · Aug 20, 2023

I owned and played minecraft Java edition on PC daily on this account and now suddenly it is no longer listed as an owned game for some reason. Now it says I only own minecraft bedrock edition. On the minecraft launcher it says "buy now" instead of "play". After logging in on the web, it also says I only own minecraft bedrock and not Java.

I've tried logging in and out of the launcher, reinstalling the launcher, and logging in and out of the web as well. This doesnt seem to be a launcher issue but rahter an account issue since even on the web it says I don't own Java.

This is not some sort of misunderstanding as i am confident I have been using this same account to play minecraft Java edition daily on minecraft Java servers, with Java friends.

How do I resolve this issue and get access to minecraft Java again??

Hi Fernando,

I have tried this already and it does not work.

The problem is that when Iog into microsoft and look at my owned games, it appears that my microsoft account does not own minecraft java edition and only owns the bedrock edition, even though i've been playing Java edition on it daily up till now.

Thanks.

I bought the game from the Minecraft site itself, the top of the screen has a "Buy Minecraft" button

Hi Riley!

Where exactly did you buy the game from? Which store specifically?

Make sure that you sign in your correct Microsoft account from Xbox app, Microsoft Store, and from PC Settings > Accounts section.

You could also reset your Launcher, Xbox app and the Store.

I tried logging into my Microsoft account, it took me to a gamertag screen, I entered my tag and it let me in

I try again on my other computer and it says "That gamertage isn't allowed. Try another"

I understand. Unfortunately, I'm currently out of ideas, so I'll release this to other experts who will help you resolve it. It was a great conversation with you.
