Microsoft claims that you can redeem a free copy of Minecraft Java Edition if you own bedrock. I own Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, and I want to redeem Minecraft Java Edition. I checked my sister’s Microsoft store app and she does indeed own “Minecraft for Windows.” My brother already did this on my own Pc on my account and it was free there. When I click redeem on the Minecraft Launcher (it says we own Minecraft Bedorck so we can get java for free) it then says buy for $29.99. Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for Pc costs $29.99 despite already owning Minecraft for Windows. Here are some reports from Minecraft players who are unable to redeem the Java edition. Some have tried restarting their system and logging out of their accounts and back in but nothing seems to help. Many say they are seeing the buy button instead of the get button when trying to download the Java version ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
