    Windows 10 version of Minecraft and the Java version


    Hello

    My son has just bought a copy of the Windows 10 version of Minecraft through the store. He has since found out that he cannot play with his friends as they are using the Java version.

    Is there any way that we can downgrade the license to the Java version? Or get a refund on the Windows 10 version so he can buy the Java version?

    Many thanks

    Darryl

    :)

    minecraft windows 10 & minecraft java edition

    I bought the Windows 10 version of Minecraft by mistake, but the one I wanted was the java edition.

    I saw that anyone who buys minecraft java edition is entitled to minecraft Windows 10. Is the reverse also true? Who buys minecraft windows 10 is entitled to minecraft java edition?

    If so, how do I access the java edition version at no additional cost?

    Windows 10 version of Minecraft and the Java version

    I have the same problem, my son goes to the coderdojo where they learn how to program in minecraft, we installed the Microsoft .NET version and that was the wrong version, we absolutely

    need the java-version for this, €27 is a considerable amount. The Coderdojo teachers said it should be possible to log in to the Java-version with the same account but that doesn't seem to work,

    and I don't want to purchase another version for almost the same price.

    Will I get minecraft free on minecraft.net if I bought in on the windows store?

    As someone who has Minecraft for both Xbox One and Windows (both Win 10 version and the Java version) I can answer this.

    Poli5hesBubble: When the Windows 10 Edition (Windows Store Version) of the Minecraft entered public Beta in 2015/2016, owners of the pre-existing Java version were given a key to download and own the Windows 10 Edition (Windows Store Version) for free, as
    they already owned it for PC (in Java form). However, this does NOT work in reverse; if you bought the Windows 10 Edition (Windows Store Version), you will NOT be given a free copy of the Java version.

    KyleCBlanchard: Similar to the answer for Poli5hedBubble, if you own the Java version from Minecraft.net, you should be able to go to your Mojang account, log in and see a key that, once entered into the Windows Store or at redeem.microsoft.com, will allow
    you download the free copy of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition for free.

    Minecraft windows 10 edition, export map to Desktop version of minecraft.

    To my knowledge the windows 10 version of Minecraft is written in C++ compared to java so it wont be compatible as the windows 10 version is a UWP app which allows it to play with Xbox one and PC while the java version is standalone, you can export worlds
    from xbox to windows 10 but not from windows 10 version to java, I hope that clears up your concern
