Minecraft Java Edition "play demo " issue

Do you play on PC or XBox

Can only play Minecraft demo (Java Edition) – Home

Hello Misofiso,

Thank you for responding and I appreciate your cooperation. Let's try other troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

To install Minecraft Java Edition, go to the Minecraft download page and download the game client. You can download the game client even if you don't own the game, but you will only be able to play the Minecraft Demo Mode. After downloading the client, double-click the shortcut icon to run it.

We hope this helps and that you can enjoy playing with your Minecraft game. If you have any other questions or feedback, please let us know.

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.

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 ?
