    I spent $40.00 on the deluxe edition, and when I launch the game I can play bedrock but not Java. Both were purchased during Microsoft ownership of minecraft and I can't seem to find out why.

    Minecraft says "Buy Now" when I already got it.

    Hi Hayden,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I am sorry that you are still prompted that you have to buy the game, even if you already purchased Minecraft. As part of our initial troubleshooting, kindly make sure that you are logged in using the same Microsoft account where you purchased the game. If you purchased it from Microsoft store, you may check it by going to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

    Once confirmed that you are using the correct account, please follow my recommendations below.

    1. Delete the Minecraft launcher that exists on your computer.

    2. Restart your computer.

    3. Install legacy Minecraft launcher for Windows.

    https://aka.ms/minecraftClientWindows

    Once reinstalled, continue with these instructions.

    1. Open Minecraft launcher.

    2. If you are already logged in, click on your image and Gamer tag in the upper left corner of the screen and then on "Logout".

    3. After logging out, delete all accounts registered in the launcher by clicking on the "X" next to each account.

    4. In the Minecraft launcher, enter the Microsoft email and password.

    Hope this solves your issue, please do let me know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Minecraft on PC after buying Xbox One version?

    Years ago I bought the Xbox version of Minecraft. Now I have Game Pass Ultimate & its not on PC version of the pass & never bought the PC version on any storefront. Now when I look at Windows 10 store it says Install or Buy to Own. Do I have Minecraft
    on PC or not? I dont wanna buy the game again if I already own it on PC, especially when I already own it on console.

    i already redeemed a minecraft code but when i launch the minecraft launcher it still says "Buy now"

    It's important to check a game's details before purchase to make sure it's for the correct platform. On the Xbox Store, it will tell you the supported platforms for a game under the "Playable On" section. 3rd party stores such as key resellers should also specify which platform a product is for

    Please reach back if you have any questions.

    Thanks,
    Kyle
