    How do I sign out of a Microsoft account on the Minecraft launcher only?


    Okay so I guess I kind of did this to myself? I tried to install Minecraft on my PC (windows 11) because it got gifted to me, I installed the Minecraft launcher and tried to sign into the account that has Minecraft redeemed and it automatically signed me into a very old account on the launcher which I can't sign out of because it doesn't let me get past the "you don't own Minecraft" screen, there's no button or option to sign out of that account in the launcher itself, and signing in on the Minecraft site doesn't change anything at all. If there is an option or something that I'm not seeing in the launcher itself then please tell me thank you!

    :)

    cant switch accounts in minecraft

    Hello,

    If you have the Xbox App, sign out first at the Microsoft Store App and sign in with the account you wish to play with. Then do the same on the Xbox App, completely sign out, then sign in with the account you wish you with to play with. Then in the Minecraft Launcher sign out completely then attempt to log back in with your Microsoft Account. Let me know if you're still having issues, we can try something else.

    Is your inability to sign out at the Minecraft Launcher?

    Thank you,

    I've bought "Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC" but I can't play Java Edition. I can only play Bedrock Edition

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Just a friendly reminder though that on PC, the family group is to manage a child's account settings, it's not for game sharing. I would like to clarify, did you purchase the game on your account? If yes, make sure that you're signed in under the correct Microsoft account on the Minecraft launcher.

    Sign out and sign back in on the Minecraft launcher.
    hi

    I purchased the game on my account. My parent consented to the purchase the game. I'm still able to launch only Demo version on Java edition. I signed out/in Minecraft launcher several times and it didn't help.

    Can I move my Minecraft Java account to a different Microsoft account?

    Hi again Tyme, i don't really know if you can do that but you can try this troubleshooting if you have multiple micrsoft accounts that are linked to the same email address, you can switch between these accounts to play Minecraft Java. This can be useful if you want to use different profiles or personas for different Minecraft Java experiences.

    To switch between Microsoft accounts in Minecraft Java, follow these steps:

    Open the Minecraft Launcher: Launch the Minecraft Launcher application on your computer.

    Sign out of your current account: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the launcher and select "Sign out."

    Sign in with a different account: Enter the credentials for the Microsoft account you want to use and click on "Sign in."

    Once you're signed in with the desired Microsoft account, you should be able to play Minecraft Java using that account.

    i hope this will be useful to you, best regards. Oskayra
