    minecraft java for family


    I purchased mincraft java edition for my son on his PC, and now I'd like for his brother and sister to play it on their devices. Do I need to re-purchase it for the siblings?

    :)

    Previously purchased Minecraft not showing in Microsoft Store

    One of the family group members bought the Java version of Minecraft recently, there are no other Windows version purchases.

    How do you play Minecraft with an Xbox account different from the store account?

    Hi Hank

    Sorry to hear about that, however, since you have a different Store account from what you use for gaming, unfortunately, the access for Java isn't shareable. Only the account that has the game (your work email) has access to it. Try to sign in using that account on the Xbox app and the Minecraft launcher to access this version of the game.

    You may refer here: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/66... and look for "I family-share my account with my children, will they get both versions of Minecraft?" and it states that "No, only the account that purchased Java or Bedrock will have access to Java Edition. Family sharing will work for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition." - Same goes for you, as you have a different Store account.

    Thanks.

    I bought Minecraft Java&Bedrock deluxe edition for my pc, but it will only let me play the bedrock edition even though i bought both.

    Hello Daniel Glays,

    We appreciate for your patience.

    Based on additional research, if you bought Minecraft Java and Bedrock together but can only play Minecraft for Windows, it may be due to family sharing. If you are playing Minecraft for Windows through family sharing, you may not be able to access Minecraft: Java Edition without buying on this account.



    You can also try signing out on Microsoft Store App, Xbox App, as well as Minecraft launcher then sign back in.

    Or, try to validate first if the transaction is successful. Please sign in to Microsoft account | Order history and check if you can see the order from there stated as “completed”. Once confirmed sign out on Microsoft Store App, Xbox App, as well as Minecraft launcher then sign back in.

    Here are some helpful links for you to check.


    We are looking forward to your response.

    We will be glad to follow up and help you.



    Sincerely,

    If I buy Minecraft Dungeons for Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store, will I be able to play it on XBOX One as well, without buying it again?

    If i buy Minecraft Dungeons from the Microsoft Store will it be available in the Minecraft (Java) Launcher, or will it be like Minecraft Java vs Bedrock?
