Many people are still buying the game and jumping into its vast lands. However, they may get confused as to how to redeem their game with the code they get.


How to redeem Minecraft codes

Redeeming Minecraft codes can be tricky. There is a normal way to just buy the game off from the main website. But if people buy the game from any other website like Amazon, G2A, etc., they will have to redeem the code.

First, let's start by getting the code itself:

If people buy the game from third-party websites like Amazon, G2A, etc., they will have to redeem a special code containing the license to get the official game. As seen in the photo, they will get a 'Gift Code'.

After the purchase, people can check their registered email ID to find an Amazon email that will contain the unique Gift Code.
