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

I have bought minecraft java and bedrock edition, but i don't see where is the bedrock edition

Hello Matveev,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

Both the games are integrated inside one launcher now.

Please use this launcher : https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/minecraf...

In the launcher both the bedrock edition and java edition are listed and they will be available on the left hand side.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition

Hi MaliaT,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

Customers who purchased the Minecraft Java Edition before October 2018, can really get a free Bedrock edition of Minecraft. However, the redemption of it has already ended last April 20, 2020. So if you haven't done it before the deadline, you will no longer be able to get it for free. You would now need to purchase the Minecraft Bedrock Edition at its regular price if you want to have it. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/ancient...

I hope the information I provided will help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,
