Purchase Minecraft for Mac using Microsoft gift card

Hi there Ilia G, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

You can use the balance in your Microsoft account obtained through gift cards to purchase Minecraft from the link you shared.

In order to play the game on your Mac device, you just need to download the Launcher for MacOS from the following link:

https://www.minecraft.net/download

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Click on the green button that says "DOWNLOAD LAUNCHER FOR MCOS". Once the Launcher is downloaded, log in with the same Microsoft account you used to purchase the game originally, and you'll be able to play it without any issues.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

What is minecraft ticket?

And

I used a gift card I bought at the store.
Maybe that's why there's nothing in my Microsoft purchase history
But the gift card code I'm using for the first time says I've already used it

You can purchase or spend credits on Microsoft games on the Apple App Store like Minecraft, but you cannot use the gift card anywhere but their store

Xbox account = Microsoft account
Xbox gift card = Microsoft gift card, no matter what gift card (Xbox or Microsoft) you have. You're going to receive Microsoft balance directly in your account and you can purchase via Microsoft.com and Xbox.com with that money

You're not going to "redeem" Minecraft java and bedrock. You're going to purchase directly the game for your account. Once purchased the game is going to appear in the order history (https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders)

If you want a redeemable code in that case you need to gift the game and use the balance to pay

Hello, NeglectBeing. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

Minecraft: Java Edition can't be purchased through the Microsoft store (Microsoft.com or Xbox console) and so you won't be able to use a Microsoft/Xbox gift card to purchase the game (both physical and digital gift card codes).
