But no need to worry, because we’ll give you detailed and clear instructions on how to do so.
Do I have to buy Minecraft again for Microsoft account?
Do I Need to Buy Minecraft Again? If you haven’t played for a while or you’ve switched devices, you do not have to buy Minecraft again. If you need to download the game again, visit our Download page and follow the instructions for the version you prefer (or all of them, if you want).
