I own Minecraft: Java or Bedrock Edition for PC. How do I get the other?
Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition for Windows are now sold together as Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC. If you’ve never bought Minecraft before, one purchase gives you both editions. If you already owned one edition, you can claim the other for free on your Microsoft account:
- Open the Microsoft Store listing for Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account (the one linked to your Minecraft purchase).
- If you already own one edition, you’ll see a Get button instead of Buy. Click it to add the other edition to your account.
After claiming, download the Minecraft Launcher to install and play both Java and Bedrock from one place.
