I officially bought the Java edition of Mojang in 2018 and found out that you can activate minecraft for Windows 10 somehow free of charge via account.Mojang.com. I do not see such an option as it is shown in various tutorials. Is that no longer the case or am I doing something wrong?
Maybe you bought it a few days / months late
If you bought it, get it this way. Then the free version is irrelevant.
Unfortunately I don't know the date until when you get that
Yes, but Java and Badrock Edition are two different pairs of shoes ^^
I did this by logging into account.mojang.com and then pressing Redeem down on gift cards below. Then I clicked on Minecraft Windows 10 Edition and signed in with my Microsoft account. It was not possible for my sister (she had bought Minecraft a few months ago) when I wanted to do it for her, but I also recently saw in a Minecraft forum that unfortunately this is no longer possible.
Yes it is shown in many tutorials but the problem is there's no Redeem button.
Did you verify your email?
For a while you could unlock the Win10 for free. Went over a link on the MC website… But now that is no longer possible and you have to buy the Win10 version extra… Free is over…
Hm oki a shame then I do without the Badrock Edition. Insolence something…
Of course
Have you been on the official site
Here is a screenshot
This is what it should look like and then Redeem down there and select it. If that doesn't work, it has already expired, as I said.
So it looks like then I will be forwarded to the windows store and there I should enter a code but have not received it
Account.mojang.com about it should be able to activate it
Yes, I have that with my sister, too, because Minecraft Windows 10 Edition can no longer be obtained for free, I think that April 20 is no longer possible. Unfortunately so.
