    if i have the bedrock edition of minecraft and i use the xbox gamepass can i play the java,edition of minecraft and if so will i still have the account after the subscription runs out

    Hi there Zustur, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Minecraft Java Edition is included with Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, so you should be able to play that edition of the game. If your subscription ends, you will still keep your account; it won't be deleted.

    If you have purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition for PC (and not for another device), you should also be able to play Minecraft Java Edition even if you don't have an active subscription.

    I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    X-Box Minecraft java

    Got it..just been reading about it. So the upcoming Game Pass PC version will include both the Java Edition and the Bedrock Edition and you can easily switch between the 2 using the Launcher.

    So, I see no reason why you won't get the same things as those using the standalone Java Edition...however, as satted before, Game Pass versions are generally the basic version of the game so any Premium only benefits won't be likely available

    Edit: Can't really find any specific details on it..may be worth trying to find the Minecraft live segment from 16th October for any more information (on the Minecraft Twitter Feed):

    Unable to Play Minecraft Java Edition, Migration issue?

    Just to add, I think I may of resolved one of the issues.

    My Mojang account is the same Email address I use for my Microsoft Game Pass account but it thinks I already own a copy but won't let me open it?

    I have migrated using an alternative email address and the process completed, will see in a few days.

    That still doesn't explain why I can't open Minecraft Java edition on this account as it says I own it and should also be included with Game Pass?

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Xbox Game Pass Ulitimate for Console and PC inquiry

    Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    As an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you have access to a wide variety of games on both console and PC. However, it's important to note that Minecraft Java Edition is not included in the Xbox Game Pass library.

    Minecraft Java Edition is a separate version of the game that is available for purchase directly from the Minecraft website. It is not included as part of the Xbox Game Pass subscription, even with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

    To play Minecraft Java Edition, you would need to purchase it separately through the official Minecraft website. The cost of the game is not covered by the Xbox Game Pass subscription. Once you purchase Minecraft Java Edition, you will have permanent access to the game, regardless of your Xbox Game Pass subscription status.

    Keep in mind that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate provides access to a vast library of games across console, PC, and cloud gaming, but the specific titles available can change over time. It's always a good idea to check the Xbox Game Pass catalog to see the current list of games included with your subscription.

    I hope this clarifies the situation regarding Minecraft Java Edition and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

    Best regards.
