Name: Minecraft Minecoins (Bedrock) - Digital Top Up - GLOBAL
Brand: Minecraft
SKU: 1248

Question 1

Does it work on Java Edition or PlayStation?

Accepted Answer

No. Minecoins are only for Minecraft Bedrock Edition, the version on mobile, Windows, Xbox and similar devices. Java Edition doesn't use Minecoins at all, and PlayStation uses its own separate currency, so a Minecoins code won't work on either. Check you're on Bedrock before you buy.

Question 2

What can I buy with Minecoins?

Accepted Answer

Marketplace content, which is the cosmetic side of the game. That covers skins, texture packs, worlds, adventure maps, mash-up packs and character creator items. Minecoins don't buy the game itself or change how it plays; they're for personalizing your Minecraft.

Question 3

Do I need to already own Minecraft?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Minecoins are the in-game currency, not the game, so you need Minecraft Bedrock Edition and a Microsoft account before you redeem. Once they're on your account, you spend them inside the game's Marketplace.

Question 4

Which devices can I use them on?

Accepted Answer

Any Bedrock device signed in with the same Microsoft account. Redeem the code once and the Minecoins are tied to your account, so you can spend them whether you play on mobile, Windows or Xbox. Just redeem to the account your game is linked to.

Question 5

Do Minecoins expire?

Accepted Answer

No. Once the code is redeemed, the Minecoins stay in your account with no expiry, so there's no rush to spend them. You can hold them until something in the Marketplace catches your eye.
