  I could be mistaken but I’m solidly sure the website redirects you to buy it on the Microsoft Store, which is also how it will be installed and launched.

    No it isn’t. On Windows there are two versions of Minecraft. “Minecraft: Bedrock Edition” available as a UWP using the Microsoft Store, written in C++ and supporting crossplay with the Minecraft releases for consoles and mobile phones and “Minecraft: Java Edition” available through minecraft.net, written in Java and supporting crossplay with the MacOS and Linux versions.

      The Java and Bedrock edition came bundled together for me. Maybe theres a way to redeem it somewhere other than the store, but I am still pretty sure its been the way I described ever since Minecraft was purchased by Microsoft.

        You can use the same license for both, and your purchase includes access to both versions regardless of how you buy it, unless that’s changed very recently when I wasn’t looking.

        Officially, both versions also explicitly require you to create (or already have) a Microsoft account to sign-in and play. Unofficially, the Java version is dead easy to pirate.
