Unable to access the Java Minecraft realm I paid for due to COPPA and GDPR

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your help!
I am indeed using Minecraft Java edition on the PC.

Logging in and out doesn't seem to be the problem. I think the marketplace is only accessible using the betrock/windows edition. I can go to the marketplace there and still purchase items through this method.

If I am logged into Minecraft Java edition and go to Minecraft Realms it will show me the option to renew a realm which takes me to minecraft.net (Profile>Wallet & Realms) where I normally renewed my realms for Java edition. For this, the payment option has been a problem. I remember being able to renew it using this method not too long ago.

Minecraft for Windows, as it is, cannot be used on Xbox consoles. However, Minecraft for Windows is essentially Minecraft Bedrock Edition, which is the same edition used on Xbox consoles. That's why, for example, the Realms in Minecraft for Windows are the same as Minecraft Bedrock for Xbox consoles. In contrast, Minecraft Java Edition Realms are exclusive to PC and only accept Java Edition players.

This is why most servers, even if they are third-party, have the same player compatibility system. It's highly likely that the server you're trying to access is intended for the Java version of Minecraft. That's why it doesn't allow you to log in from the Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock) edition, while it does allow access from the Java edition of the game.

It's essential to clarify that "Minecraft for Windows" refers to Minecraft Bedrock, but that's how Mojang decided to name it on the PC platform, which can lead to confusion.

I hope this explanation clarifies things for you. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to ask.

no cause i have realms plus on minecraft bedrock edition no java edition

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue. Sorry to hear that you're experiencing difficulty in joining up with your buddies in Minecraft, specifically the Realms (which is a subscription service). Is the version of Minecraft that you're
using the latest Bedrock Engine-based version for Windows 10, or Minecraft: Java edition? If you're using the Java edition then there is a different subscription service available for that specific edition. Noteyou won’t
have access to Realms while using a Beta version of Minecraft.

Based on the information you have already provided, if you've already tried to
sign in with your Microsoft account and click
Xbox One Online Safety to review and change your settings online, but still cannot access the Realm and are already a subscriber, then I would recommend contacting the friendly folks over at
Mojang Support (Minecraft Realms Support) or the Minecraft
Forums to see if any other players have encountered this issue or have some solutions to offer.
