Switching iPhones: Do I Need to Buy Minecraft Again?

CraftyPanda123 - February 4, 2025

Hey all, apologies if my English isn’t perfect, it’s not my native language! I’m planning to get a new iPhone, and I currently have Minecraft on my old one. Will I need to buy Minecraft again on my new phone, or is there a way to transfer it over without repurchasing? I’ve tried Googling but couldn’t find a clear answer. Would appreciate any help! 🙏🙏🙏

If you’re sticking with iPhones, and they both use the same App Store account, you’re good! Just log in with your existing Apple ID, download Minecraft again, and it’ll be available without needing to purchase it again. Your DLCs should carry over too, but the worlds you’ve saved are on your old phone.

I’m not 100% sure about iPhones specifically, since I’m on Android, but generally, it’s about being logged into the same account you used to buy it. For Android, it works by logging into the original account on a new device and re-downloading the app from the store. It should be similar for Apple devices.
