Minecraft java and bedrock edition online purchase.

Hi,Samar ! I'm Luis, a fellow Microsoft Community Member . Thanks for reaching us out here.

If you have bought Minecraft before, you’re now getting the other edition for free. Woot! Follow these steps to redeem it:

Go to the Microsoft Store listing for Minecraft: Java & Bedrock for PC.

Melden Sie sich bei Ihrem Microsoft-Konto an.

Sign-in to the Microsoft Store with your Microsoft account.

Once you’re signed in, instead of a “Buy” button you should see a button that says “Get.” Click this button – and now you own both editions!

HOW DO I RUN OR PLAY EITHER VERSION OF MINECRAFT?

Once you’ve completed the steps above, including logging into the Microsoft Store, you can now download the Minecraft Launcher.

To play Minecraft: Java Edition, download and install the correct launcher for your operating system. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Java Edition.

I purchased Minecraft Java and bedrock edition for pc as a gift and now can’t get it to download the Java edition

I purchased Minecraft Java and bedrock edition for pc as a gift through the online Microsoft store feature for a friend, my friend received the email and redeemed the gift, he is able to download the launcher and Minecraft bedrock edition but not able to download Java, we’re both on pc’s. He’s signed into the correct account across the board and when he goes to the game page for the Java and bedrock edition it tells him to play with game pass or purchase it, and he can only play the demo of Java but has full access to bedrock, we’ve spent 5 hours troubleshooting ourselves and I’m beginning to think it’s on Microsoft’s end

 

How to Get Bedrock Edition on PC After Purchasing Java Edition?

Hello Minecraft Community,

I've been a long-time player of Minecraft Java Edition on my PC. Recently, I've been interested in joining a realm on the Bedrock edition. According to the information I found on the official Minecraft website, players who have purchased the Java Edition are entitled to get the Bedrock edition at no additional cost. However, I'm facing an issue that seems to contradict this.

Despite numerous attempts, I can't figure out how to get the Bedrock edition onto my launcher. This leaves me perplexed about how to play Bedrock on PC, despite owning the Java Edition. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher using the Windows 10/11 download link, but there's been no change.

When checking my account on the Minecraft Servers website, it shows that I own every version of Minecraft except for Bedrock. This is quite frustrating, as I'm trying to avoid paying an additional $40 for the deluxe version (which includes both Java & Bedrock) when I believe I've already paid for it. Moreover, I do have Bedrock on my Xbox account, but attempts to download it onto my PC via the Xbox store were unsuccessful.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or knows how to get Bedrock edition on PC after purchasing the Java edition? Any guidance or tips on resolving this would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!
