Minecraft Java saying 'Play Demo'

ChunkyMilkk · Oct 12, 2022

So I got the Minecraft Bedrock + Java Bundle about a month or so ago, and at that time I had the gamepass. I ran out a few weeks ago. Today I tried to get on Java, and now the button says 'Play Demo'. I am signed in on the account I got the bundle on on the Microsoft Store, Xbox app, and the Minecraft Launcher. It worked while I had gamepass. I'm wondering if I need gamepass in order to keep playing Java? If not, is there something I can try to get it to work?

Do you play on PC or XBox

On PC this could help;

Can only play Minecraft demo (Java Edition) – Home

For me it opens up the Launcher recognizing my minecraft name but for the Java version (which I previously owned under Majong) it says I can PLAY DEMO. For the Minecraft for Windows it says I can PLAY TRIAL. But I already own Minecraft.

Hi ChunkyMilkk, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

First, kindly sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and check if you can see the order for the bundle from there stated as "completed".

Once confirmed, kindly uninstall the Minecraft launcher and then search the Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC on your Xbox App to install.

Hi Manuela! Yes, i paid for it today, i got the minecraft launcher from the microsoft store and purchased it from the launcher but on the microsoft store it says i have both java and bedrock. Yes i tried to update my account purchase status but it just says i only have bedrock, and i can only play the demo of java.
