Windows 10: I have just purchased Minecraft Java and Bedrock Deluxe Edition for my son to use and he...

It was not made obvious in the documentation that you cannot buy Minecraft Java Edition and use Family share so your child can use it. My 10 year old son does not have access to buying anything digitally yet. Is there a way to transfer ownership of Minecraft Java Edition to his email account from mine? I do not want to buy Minecraft Java Edition again just so he can use it. I am based in the UK.Many thanks

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.

Reinstalling Minecraft Java and Bedrock Deluxe

Hi,

I recently had to wipe my laptop and reinstall everything. I purchased Minecraft Java and Bedrock Deluxe in January 2023. When I attempt to download and install from the Microsoft store the only option I am given is to buy it again. How do I fix this?

Thank you,

SL

 

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!
