I have Minecraft on my iPad that was purchased with a previous Apple ID. I went to purchase something in Minecraft’s marketplace and it said I cannot purchase anything in the app because it was not purchased with my current Apple ID. When I go into my App Store it says it is purchased. Help!

Hi there Krista_arman04,
If the app was purchased initially using a different Apple ID, you'll want to erase it from your device, then redownload it with your current Apple ID. Learn how from the links below:
Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad
If you're still unable to make in-app purchases, you'll most likely need to reach out to the app developer to see what the issue may be. This link will help you get started: How to contact an app developer
Take care.
Will I have to pay for the app again? And will all of my app data be erased?
Thanks for your reply, Krista_arman04.
If you do have to erase the app, that may impact app data. We'd recommend connecting with the app developer to confirm if they have any specific backup process.
Since the app was downloaded under a different Apple ID, in order to download it to the current Apple ID you are using, you would need to purchase it again.
Best regards.
