    Why does the minecraft launcher tell me to buy minecraft java edition despite already...


    I bought Minecraft java edition for Windows 10 a while ago. I stopped playing for a few months and when I came back, the main screen told me to buy Minecraft java edition again. I have migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft one and am currently using my Microsoft account in the Minecraft launcher. How do I get my Minecraft back without having to buy it again?

    :)

    Cant play Minecraft after account migration

    When I click buy from the Minecraft launcher it takes me to this website https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-edition?ref=Launcher I'm not logged in and it has the option to purchase Minecraft but after logging in to the that website with same Microsoft account that I had logged into the Minecraft launcher with the purchase option is replaced with Already own Minecraft? Download it again. and the launcher download button.

    Minecraft will not open via launcher, only through microsoft store.

    Hello mimim2,

    The Minecraft launcher you are referring to is only for the Java edition of Minecraft. The Java edition and Windows 10, are two separate games. In order to launch and play Minecraft from the launcher you are using in the last image, you must buy the Java
    edition from the site, not the Windows 10 version. Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft. Annoying I know, but when Microsoft acquired Minecraft they released
    their own version of the game on their platform. Hope this helps

    Minecraft bundle pack not working So when I bought Minecraft bundle that says that is comes with minecraft bedrock and java I bought it and I only got bedrock.

    Hi Karthi9863, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Just a friendly reminder though that Minecraft for Windows + Launcher only includes the base game for Minecraft for Windows and then the launcher but it does not include Minecraft Java Edition. You may need to buy the game individually on the Mojang website.

    Xbox gamertag changed in the minecraft launcher but not in Minecraft

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