Have to pay to redownload minecraft with same appleID?

I am trying to redownload minecraft on my iPad, but it is saying that I have to pay for it again. When looking in my purchase history, i can see that I had a realms subscription until this last January. And have played using this same account recently. But now it's gone. How do I get it back? Thank you.

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Missing Minecraft Realms purchase through mobile phone billing Hi, I used mobile phone billing to purchase Minecraft Realms (RM33.90), but I never received the Realms and it’s not showing in my Apple purchase history. I have proof of the charge. Can you help me locate it and issue a refund? I tried twice and again it didn’t work.

Can't redownload things 3, required to pay for it again I purchased Things 3 in Nov 2021. However, after I purchased a new MacBook, I can't redownload the app again. The Apple App Store has the receipt of my purchase. But the app in the Apple Store still requires me to pay for the app again. Is there anything you can do to allow me to download the app I bought before? One reason I choose Things 3 is to avoid subscription and own the app forever. It's unexpected that I have to buy the app I owned before again.

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.

Hello,

‘You can redownload previous purchased apps by going to the App Store, tapping Home in the navigation bar> tap [Your Profile Picture]> Tap Purchases. Either scroll till you find Minecraft or search for it in the purchases search bar.

Sincerely,

Captain
