    Keep getting this message when trying to log into the Minecraft launcher, even though I have Xbox Live Gold (Game Pass Core) on my Xbox, with lots of time left on the subscription as well. People have told me I don't need to buy Minecraft since I already have it on console (and mobile lol), but I don't know how to get it to work when I can't even get into the launcher.

    :)

    when i load my minecraft java launcher i apparently havent bough the game (connection issue?)

    When I load into minecraft launcher, it gives me a list of accounts I can choose from, one of which is I Microsoft account I am certain I have created the mojang account on and then I click on that account, it loads me into the launcher menu but only allows me to play the demo, I have also signed out and restarted the pc and it has been unsuccessful. It also says in the launcher menu that I need to buy it (as if I haven't already). It also says the same thing when I log onto the official minecraft website ( "it looks like you haven't bought the game yet") Are there any more ways you think that might fix it or any ways I can contact Microsoft support, I can also communicate via. videos if that might help be more specific as to what is happening.

    Can only play Minecraft Demo after Migrating Mojang Account

    best solution is to just update the launcher, so go to the Microsoft store if the launcher doesn't say so, and find Minecraft and click get i think, it won't necessarily say update, but get, it will be grey, be sure to have your launcher closed before this, then when its downloaded/updated click play, and it would pop up with the new launcher it will look the same however when you try to log in via Microsoft, you'll notice it will be different as it would open a dark window, aka Xbox. and that fixed my issue,

    looks like you need to renew gold

    Hi John,

    I purchased Minecraft Java Edition from Mojang a long time ago. I've recently migrated my Mojang Account with my Microsoft Account that has an expired Game Pass on it. When I try to open the Minecraft Launcher an error message appears stating "looks like you need to renew gold" and when I click close the Minecraft Launcher closes.

    Any Advice?

    Cheers,

    i can't install free trial of minecraft from the store

    Hello Muhammad, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

    Please try accessing the game by following the steps below:

    Open the Xbox app or the Microsoft store on your PC, then search and download the Minecraft launcher.

    Now, open the Minecraft launcher, and you should be able to start the free trial for Minecraft Windows edition.

    Lastly, please make sure you’re logged in to the desired Microsoft account on the Xbox app, the Minecraft launcher and the Microsoft Store.
