  1. Minecraft launcher says I do not own the game which wasnt an issue last year. Please fix?


    When I log into my xbox account on the minecraft launcher it says I do not own the game. This wasnt the issue last year I could play minecraft fine with the same account but now suddenly it says I do not own it. Instead of the play button it says buy now.

    I have tried logging in and out of the launcher and the Microsoft store. (both have the same email address)

    And I have tried to contacting Minecraft support but they didnt help.

    :)

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Marko, the ideal in these cases is to contact support so that they can verify your account, however you mention that you already contacted them, did you get a response?

    I bought my Minecraft license about 3–4 years ago. Today, I opened the launcher, it was saying, "Do you own this game or app?" and now it is telling me to buy it again.

    I have tried to reinstall launcher, sign in and out of the account, nothing works. Please help me!!!
    Same thing happened to me today! I have also owned minecraft for like 5 years, but suddenly today I got a message from the launcher saying "Do you own this game or app". I really do not want to use money on buying something I already own.

    Can't redeem minecraft java edition

    Same here, I own Minecraft for Windows 10 but nothing recognizes it. Minecraft.net claims I do not own it, the Xbox app says I own no games, and even though I can sign into the launcher it says "Failed to create profile" whenever I press "Play"

    After uninstalling and re-installing everything, as well as signing out of every account, the only difference is that I am now also unable to install the Minecraft launcher. I installed a fan-made launcher and it also claimed I did not own the game.

    If there is a way to fix this I would greatly appreciate it.

    minecraft for windows 10 not working

    If the order is showing on your Microsoft account order history and on the website it shows you that you already own the game, it is probably just a sync issue with the launcher.

    Please try to completely uninstall all Minecraft versions of your computer and the Minecraft launcher. Restart your computer and install them all again. It should fix your issue.

    If the issue persists, please let me know.

    Need to buy Minecraft again after migration?

    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.
