Hey @MojangSupport @Microsoft, not liking your new dark pattern of trying to make people re-purchase a copy of Minecraft by hiding the workflow for re-downloading Minecraft Java edition on minecraft.net Don't deceive users. It's wrong.

You don't need to re-buy Minecraft if you have already purchased the game. You can redownload by visiting minecraft.net/en-us/download without even signing in. You can grab whichever version you'd like! ^AM

yes (thankfully!) but when you do the following 1. go to minecraft.net 2. log in. 3. click Get Minecraft 4. select PC then you are led to this screen, with no direct link to the URL you shared. this is bound to mislead people

If you already own the game, selecting "buy" will take you to the download page, but we appreciate your feedback if you feel this is confusing on the player side. We have a site where you're more encouraged to submit your feedback if you'd like! feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en… ^AM
