Minecraft Windows 10 Edition achievements do not work

may need to reinstall Windows

Were you able to get this fixed i been trying to fix this too i followed all the steps on troubleshooting and i got nothing

You'll have to check that the world you're playing in supports Achievements. Worlds can have them turned off if someone has turned on creative mode.

I'd also check that you log into the Xbox App on Windows and verify you have a solid connection there, and that the achievements you're trying to earn aren't already unlocked for that account.

Hey Needlife73,

Thank you for reaching out. We understand you are having some trouble with the achievements on your Minecraft not unlocking. If you haven't already done so, check out the Windows 10 portion of our

Achievements Troubleshooting forum post.

If things still aren't looking right, give the following troubleshooting steps a shot:

• Right-Click on the app (game) tile in question and select "Uninstall (this works easiest from the start menu)".
  
• After the app (game) has been uninstalled, open your computer's search bar (by hovering your mouse in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen), and select "Search".
  
• Type "wsreset" and press enter.
• After you see a confirmation, the store cache has been reset.
• Now reinstall the app (game) in question.
• Attempt to unlock the achievement again.

1. If the achievement is showing as unlocked, but you're not seeing the Gamerscore from the achievement added to your total Gamerscore and the unlocked count for the game in question is incorrect: Head over to your profile on Xbox.com, view the game and achievement
   in question on your profile, then wait a full 72 hours for things to process.

Let us know how it goes!

I bought the Windows 10 version of Minecraft by mistake, but the one I wanted was the java edition.

I saw that anyone who buys minecraft java edition is entitled to minecraft Windows 10. Is the reverse also true? Who buys minecraft windows 10 is entitled to minecraft java edition?

If so, how do I access the java edition version at no additional cost?
