Minecraft purchase sharing

ShawsOP · Jan 3, 2024

Some time ago, I downloaded some content for Minecraft for my children. At the time, they simply played on my account.

I have since set them up with separate Microsoft accounts and they all play Minecraft with each other across a number of devices (Amazon Fire tablets and a Nintendo Switch). They would like to access the content I had previously downloaded which is on my account.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft game contents.

In this case, it would be best to contact Nintendo Support for further clarification regarding their game-sharing feature on their platform:

You may also check this link for instructions regarding how to game share on the Nintendo Switch platform:

Thanks for the reply but this is not a problem with Nintendo (why would you think this?), as it is the case when my children use any device to access the game.

The problem is they can see the content but it has a padlock over it which prevents them from using it.

Any (helpful) suggests would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I appreciate the response and I humbly apologize as I realize you also mentioned different devices.

I highly suggest you reach out to Mojang Support for confirmation as they have the tools and resources to check if the purchased Minecraft content sharing to other accounts is possible. You may contact them through this link:

Hello, WimDe. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Just to rule this out, are you sure you purchased the Minecraft for Windows version and not the flat Minecraft version which is only available for console?

Are you able to share a screenshot of your purchase without sharing personal details? Is it really Minecraft for Windows or Minecraft Java Edition or only Minecraft?

Hi, in purchase history there is only "Minecraft for Windows" and there is no "Minecraft Windows 10 Edition", not sure if I can share the order number here for better tracking.
