Updated gamertag now i dont have minecraft java

Hello, Autumnfox my name is Oskayra I am independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

It seems like changing your gamertag might have caused a temporary hiccup with your Minecraft Java license recognition. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and get your access back:

1. Restart your launcher and PC: Sometimes a simple restart can clear temporary glitches that might be affecting license verification. Close the Minecraft launcher completely, restart your computer, and then launch the launcher again.

2. Check your Microsoft account: Sign in to your Microsoft account on the Minecraft website and ensure your Mojang account is successfully linked. If not, follow the instructions to link them properly.

3. Verify your purchase: Go to your Microsoft account's order history and locate the purchase for Minecraft Java. Check if the order is listed as completed and if there are any error messages associated with it.

4. Check for updates: Launch the Minecraft launcher and click on the profile icon in the top right corner. Select "Manage profile" and then "Check for updates." This will ensure you have the latest launcher version, which might address any compatibility issues with your gamertag change.

Remember, be patient and persistent. These issues can sometimes be resolved quickly, but it might take a bit of back-and-forth with support to identify the exact cause and implement the right solution.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have any further questions or need additional advice.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this is the only way to get a gamertag change right now. However, I did want to clarify that your Minecraft Java username is separate from your gamertag. In-game your username will display your Minecraft Java username and not your gamertag. You are free to change your Minecraft Java username as many times as you would like for free after each waiting period. I hope this answered your question.

Thanks,

are you playing minecraft java edition or bedrock, as java i think does not use your gamertag. as you mentioned the minecraft launcher.

Rest assured that the Xbox profile gamertag does not have anything to do with your Minecraft Java gamertag, they are stored on different databases and different servers.

When you sign in on the Minecraft website it does show that you own Java Edition, right?

Hello Fynn202,

Thanks for the update.

Yes, if you once had a Minecraft for Android, you would have the no Buy Now in Minecraft website, that means you have played the Android/iOS version of the game. If you have purchase Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition (this is package for Windows OS), both Java and Bedrock should show no Buy Now option.

For your concern, there is no free Minecraft Java edition for Android version of Minecraft Bedrock, reason is that Java is only for PC version not mobile. The offer is for the ones with Minecraft Bedrock or Minecraft for Windows license to have a free Minecraft Java edition.

Hope that will clear out the confusion. We hope you will enjoy Minecraft in your mobile.

Stay safe and have a great day!

Regards,
