Why can't I get Java for free?

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today Sean

Some players are experiencing a delay to receive the other edition, according to official announcement, if eligible the process can take up to 72 hours to be reflected in your account.

If you're eligible "You don’t need to do anything to claim this"

Try double checking if you're signed with the account that purchased the other edition, if necessary you may need to contact Minecraft support for further assistance or see if you're eligible for the offer

The promotion was only available on PC, not Xbox. Since you had it on Xbox, you wouldn't have been eligible for the promotion.

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

Please check the following:

1. Could someone else in your household have migrated your Mojang account without your knowledge?

2. Is it possible that you have already migrated and used a different email to create your Microsoft account?

3. If you think your account has been migrated by someone other than yourself please contact Minecraft Support.

Be sure to include your transaction ID from the purchase of your account.

For help locating your transaction ID, see What is a Transaction ID?

Hello again, I believe the promotion was over because there was a time to make this rescue.
