Minecoins land on your Microsoft account and follow you on every Bedrock device — here is how to add them.

Go to minecraft.net/redeem, sign in with the Microsoft account you play Minecraft with, enter the 25-character code and confirm. The Minecoins appear in the Marketplace of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. They do not work in Java Edition.

Minecoins questions
Can I use Minecoins in Java Edition?
No. Java Edition has no Marketplace; Minecoins only work in Bedrock Edition.
Can I redeem in the game instead of on the web?
Yes, many Bedrock versions let you redeem a code from the Marketplace screen. The website is the most reliable route because it works the same everywhere.
Do Minecoins expire?
No. They stay on the account until you spend them.
Can I buy Minecoins with crypto?
Yes. GiftKong sells Minecoins cards paid with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, USDT and four other options. The code is emailed as soon as the payment confirms.
Need Minecoins?
