How to transfer Minecoins from a Microsoft account to a Minecraft account on a Nintendo...

We cant help with a nintendo question

This is not a Nintendo Question. The Minecraft game is owned by Microsoft. Your own game tells you on the startup screen to Link your Microsoft Account in order to preserve purchases from the Marketplace. I did that. I had 4000+ Minecoins (digital currency
directly related to Minecraft) and texture packs in the marketplace inventory. When I created and linked the Microsoft account, my Minecoins and purchases are no longer there. So there has been some kind of disconnect between Minecraft and the Microsoft
account. The Marketplace for Minecraft is not called "Nintendo Marketplace".

Hello Mommabee0214,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you want to transfer Minecoins from a Microsoft account to a Minecraft account on a Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. Minecoins are tied to the platform where they were purchased and cannot be transferred across different devices or accounts. You can only use Minecoins on the same platform and account where you bought them.

Please see: Minecraft Marketplace FAQ | Xbox Support

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us again. Have a great day!

Hello Francine Idowu,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

We totally understand that you want to get your Minecoins on your Nintendo Switch account. Have you tried restarting your Nintendo Switch console to see if the Minecoins appear? If not, please try that first.



If the Minecoins still do not appear, please ensure that you have linked your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch account. You can do this by following these steps:



1. Open Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch

2. Select "Sign In" from the main menu

3. Select "Sign in with a Microsoft Account"

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch account



If you have already linked your accounts and the Minecoins still do not appear, please contact Microsoft support for further assistance. They will be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and ensure that your Minecoins are properly linked to your Nintendo Switch account.
