I bought the Minecraft Bedrock version on the Switch a while ago and now I also have a PC that I want to play Minecraft on. I have already linked my Switch Minecraft account to Microsoft and am now wondering whether it is possible to somehow transfer the account data so that I don't have to buy Minecraft Java again for the PC. I know that I can't transfer skins and maps. My concern is that I don't want to buy the game twice. If you've already downloaded Java and want to play on another pc, you don't have to pay Minecraft twice.
No. Minecraft Java and Bedrock are different versions. I have already read 100th questions, you just can't get java for free because you have bedrock. There are two different versions that have absolutely nothing to do with each other from the Microsoft account
As far as I know, you can't transfer the Bedrock data to Java, after all, they're two programming languages. But if you only want to link your "account" yourself, then create a Mojang account and link it to Microsoft. However, if you mean to transfer worlds or skins from Bedrock then I have to disappoint you, that is not possible and you have to buy Java extra
He wants to know whether he can link the accounts and then get Java for free because he already has Bedrock
Right, can I be helped?
