    Why do I have to buy minecraft again?

    Hello Kule, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    In the Minecraft Launcher go to View All Accounts in the drop-down under your icon, and add a Microsoft account. Put in the info you use to log into Dungeons. Now you have to switch between accounts to play Dungeons (Microsoft) or Minecraft Java (Mojang) but it's all saved in the launcher.

    Hope this helps.

    Jesse.

    WHY DO I HAVE TO BUY MINECRAFT AGAIN!!!!

    Because the console version will only work on the console. The game would need to support Play Anywhere in order to be able to play it on both the console and PC without having to repurchase it.

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this RAQUSZAUE

    Where did you purchased Minecraft?
    Using the Microsoft Store or the Minecraft.net website?

    If it was via Microsoft store, are you able to see the purchase in your Microsoft account order history with status completed?
    https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

    Once there, make sure to change the "3 months" filter and use instead "All available" next to "Ordered within"
    Then start looking each item purchased with your account and see if you're able to find the game with order status "completed"

    If you have more than one email please check the order history with each one

    Why do I have to buy minecraft again?

    Please check your order history to see if the game is still on the list!

    If it is, try to clear the Microsoft Store cache

    1. Press Windows Key + R to launch Run.
    2. Enter wsreset.exe and hit Enter.
    3. Once the reset process finished, restart your PC and then check again!
    If it isn't on that list, then you will have to contact the support through: Contact us | Xbox Support
