Hi Chantale Ethier,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

We understand that you need help with your Minecraft Java that you want to play it.

Based on the description that it might be your sign in on the account that doesn't have a Minecraft Java game.

You can confirm if you have a Minecraft Java edition by checking it on the Minecraft website: Minecraft|Log-in

If you can only see the Minecraft Bedrock edition it means that you have only the Mobile version.

The Xbox edition of Minecraft in the screenshot is still the Bedrock edition, is it not? I should have access to Java through owning the Bedrock edition, and I don't understand why I wouldn't be able to play it if I played Java in the past with my Microsoft account without having to buy Java.

Hi Fernando,

I have tried this already and it does not work.

The problem is that when Iog into microsoft and look at my owned games, it appears that my microsoft account does not own minecraft java edition and only owns the bedrock edition, even though i've been playing Java edition on it daily up till now.

Thanks.

I purchased the bedrock console version and I own the digital copy of Minecraft for windows but can't claim the java edition
