I can’t re-install Minecraft!

I got Minecraft when I was a lot younger on my dads iPad the first time before we had to pay for it. Then I got mine and I had Minecraft and my account on it for several years. Due to storage I deleted it, but Joe on the AppStore it says I need to re-purchase it. Is that true?

I have also checked all my ‘purchase history’ and it is not in there’

iPad, iPadOS 14

How can I retrieve Minecraft Story Mode on iPhone after deleting it? A long time ago, I purchased Minecraft story mode for my iPhone and also bought a few chapters to play it. Then I didn’t have enough storage on my phone a few years later and because I thought I could just re-download Minecraft story mode, I deleted it. But now I have recently wanted to play it again but it has gone from the App Store and isn’t in my purchases. There is proof on the Apple website that I have but I have no clue how I can re-download it again. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Previously purchased app that I can’t re-download without purchasing again I have purchased Minecraft on my previous phone, however since getting my new phone when I have gone onto the AppStore to re-download the app it is saying that I need to re-purchase the app again. Hope you can help. Thank you.

Why do i have to buy minecraft again with the same account I had downloaded Minecraft on my old iPad, now on my new iPad, when i search Minecraft on app store with the same account, it is not for free when i had bought Minecraft with the same account already… Please tell me a way to download Minecraft for free since i have already bought it. My old iPad was 7th gen and new one is 9th gen. Both have the same Apple id logged in.

Unfortunately, that is so sad but you can try this:

Is it on the account it was purchased on like your dads account
Did you sign in on that account
Try looking in that account
If that does not work, Call apple support
