Minecraft Java is asking me to buy it again.

Riley Callender · Mar 11, 2023

I recently bought Minecraft Java edition on my laptop without realizing my laptop is incompatible. When I realized this, I decided to check on my other, newer laptop (it is compatible).

Anyway I logged into my account on the website to download it but it kept asking me to actually buy the game even though I have with that account.

Is there a fix for this.

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.
