Your purchase has not arrived
The four checks that resolve nearly every case, in the order worth doing them.
First, the reassuring part: if the payment went through, the entitlement exists. It is recorded the moment the payment is confirmed, and it does not
disappear because a delivery had trouble. Nothing is lost here, whatever the
game currently shows.
1. Give it a minute#
Delivery is not instantaneous, and it is not supposed to be. The game server
fetches what is waiting rather than being pushed to — the reason why is in
How delivery works, and it is a security
decision rather than an oversight.
So a short wait is normal. An hour is not.
2. Check the state#
Account → Ranks shows every entitlement and where
its delivery is:
- Queued — waiting. Normal.
- Running — being executed right now.
- Retry — one attempt failed, another is coming. Also normal; the usual
cause is the game server restarting.
- Failed — it gave up. Go to step 4.
If you bought as a guest, use the order page at/ggnetwork/checkout/<order number> instead.
3. Check the name — this is the one#
By far the most common cause: the goods went to a name that is not yours.
Look at what you entered at checkout and compare it to your Minecraft name
character by character. The pairs that catch people:
0(zero) againstO(letter)1(one) againstl(lowercase L) againstI(uppercase i)- underscores in the wrong place, or missing
- a name you changed since buying
If the name was wrong, say so with your order number. It can be corrected —
but only for deliveries that have not run yet. Something already delivered
to a real player's name is with that player, and there is no way to take it
back.
4. Ask, with the right information#
Post in the help category or on Discord with:
- your order number (fourteen characters),
- the Minecraft name you entered,
- what you bought,
- when,
- the state shown in step 2.
With those five things this is usually resolved in one reply. Without the order
number it is a conversation about which order you mean.
The case where nothing was even attempted#
Occasionally an entitlement sits there with no delivery job at all. That is not
a stuck queue — it means the command could not be built, almost always because
the Minecraft name is unusable.
That is deliberate. The alternative would be to guess, burn five delivery
attempts on a guess, and end as failed while you waited. Instead it stays
visibly open and a human fixes the name.
Same fix as step 3: send the correct name and the order number.
