    Minecraft Java edition not showing in launcher


    I purchased minecraft java edition when it was still Mojang back in 2020. With the new Microsoft launcher the game doesn't show up as purchased. Any idea how I can fix this?

    :)

    Migrated Microsoft account not working for Minecraft

    It was Java Edition. I tried repairing/resetting, reinstalling the launcher a few times, and it's still not showing up with my Minecraft account.

    Minecraft will not open via launcher, only through microsoft store.

    Hello mimim2,

    The Minecraft launcher you are referring to is only for the Java edition of Minecraft. The Java edition and Windows 10, are two separate games. In order to launch and play Minecraft from the launcher you are using in the last image, you must buy the Java
    edition from the site, not the Windows 10 version. Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft. Annoying I know, but when Microsoft acquired Minecraft they released
    their own version of the game on their platform. Hope this helps

    Mojang Account Migration

    Not sure why your Java username is showing as already taken, but since the Minecraft website shows that you own Java, this is probably just an issue with the Launcher syncing data.

    Would you please try to reinstall Minecraft Java and the Minecraft Launcher too?

    Need to buy Minecraft again after migration?

    Can confirm what SamRedge said, using the Win 7/8 launcher and using my microsoft credentials shows Minecraft Java Edition ready to play.

    You can get the Win 7/8 Launcher at: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

    The issue is the Win10 launcher not the users.

    Microsoft XBox staff need to update the user profiles to show that those that migrated own minecraft java edition in latest Win10 launcher / profiles.
