Hi.So I got gifted Minecraft Java Edition by a friend a while back. I logged into the webbrowser and installed minecraft however, when I opened the game, it wanted me to log in but it wouldn't let me. I have tried multiple passwords/emails but nothing works.I have my email linked and I used the microsoft login on your website with no issues at all but it won't work in game.. I got this game a while back and I am completely unable to play. What do I do? My friend bought me this game and it can't be right that I am not able to play
