Minecraft: Java Edition only offers me a demo or to buy.

I am logging into Minecraft Java Edition with the Microsoft account that I migrated my Mojang account to, and instead of being a full/paid version of Minecraft, it is only offering me to play the Minecraft "demo" version.

Do you play on PC or XBox

On PC this could help;

Can only play Minecraft demo (Java Edition) – Home

I tried this fix, unfortunately after logging out and restarting my computer my Minecraft Java Edition Launcher still said that I didn't buy the game and that I could only play the Demo version of Minecraft Java. Do you know another fix ?

Hello Fynn202,

Thanks for the update.

Yes, if you once had a Minecraft for Android, you would have the no Buy Now in Minecraft website, that means you have played the Android/iOS version of the game. If you have purchase Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition (this is package for Windows OS), both Java and Bedrock should show no Buy Now option.

For your concern, there is no free Minecraft Java edition for Android version of Minecraft Bedrock, reason is that Java is only for PC version not mobile. The offer is for the ones with Minecraft Bedrock or Minecraft for Windows license to have a free Minecraft Java edition.

Hope that will clear out the confusion. We hope you will enjoy Minecraft in your mobile.

Stay safe and have a great day!

Regards,

Good evening dgl_thrawn,

I'm still experiencing the same issue as you wrote about.

I migrated my account at the beginning of this month.

I've contacted support and had exchanged messages relating to possible solutions. I was asked to delete and re-add accounts, try alternative launcher etc.

I'm logging in to my only Microsoft account and the launcher only offers me the demo of the game, and not access to my previously created worlds.

I've tried everything they suggested by nothing works.

I purchased the windows version of Minecraft a few years ago with my same Microsoft account and I purchased the Java edition shortly after, using my separate Mojang account.

Even though I have proof of purchase of BOTH version of the game I still am being forced to settle for the Java demo or BUY THE JAVA EDITION FOR A SECOND TIME. I'm not doing this.

It wouldn't be an issue if I was able to load Java edition worlds up in the Windows edition...........but that is not an option.

Never mind.
