Minecraft is one of the most popular sandbox games available on the internet. Developed by Mojang Studios, it was released back in 2011 and is one of the best-selling video games of all time.
In the last few years, Minecraft’s popularity has skyrocketed thanks to the gameplay mechanics that lets users build in a procedurally generated 3D world with virtually endless terrain.
But as is the case with any online game, Minecraft players do encounter some bugs and issues from time to time, such as the recently reported ‘java.io.ioexception’ error or the one where players are unable to join their friend’s world.
Unable to play Minecraft: Java Edition using Launcher on Game Pass for PC
While these issues were acknowledged by Mojang, it looks like another bug has surfaced. According to reports (1,2,3,4,5), Minecraft Java Edition players are facing trouble using the Launcher on Game Pass for PC.
Many say they have already purchased the game but it shows up as if they don’t own the game.
Some say they get an error saying ‘Minecraft Launcher is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again.’
Generic resolutions such as reinstalling the game, resetting the Microsoft Store app, and logging in and out of Microsoft accounts do not seem to work at the moment.
As it turns out, the issue is already on the list of Known Issues for Game Launches for January 2022.
Minecraft purchase not processing
But this is not the only issue troubling Minecraft players. Many players say are having problem purchasing Minecraft: Java Edition. It is a really serious issue since the bug is preventing new players from experienceing Minecraft.
Some say that even though their purchase went through, they are unable to play the game as it is asking users to purchase it once again.
Thankfully, Mojang Studios has acknowledged the issue where people are unable to purchase Minecraft and said it is under investigation.
