  1. Two Minecraft users on one Microsoft account


    I purchased Minecraft for a kid using my Microsoft account. Now my other kid would like to play Minecraft as well. Can I somehow create another user on the existing account? If not, what would be a solution? Do I have to create another Microsoft account only for the game? Thank you.

    :)

    Both Java and Bedrock Minecraft missing from my migrated account?

    Hello, Portia. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    Did you have two mojang accounts (one with Java and one with Bedrock), or did you have one mojang account (which had Java) and one Microsoft account with Minecraft for Windows, and you migrated this mojang account with Java to the Microsoft account that had Minecraft for Windows?

    I ask because you cannot migrate two mojang accounts to only one Microsoft account. So if you had one mojang account with java and one mojang account with bedrock, you migrated them to two different Microsoft accounts.

    How to install and play Minecraft on second Windows account

    Hello, Razor7001. Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Community expert user. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    In this step by step guide you can learn how to play Minecraft on Windows using two different accounts:

    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

    Basically you'll just have to create another Windows user to install and play Minecraft with your second account. And of course, you'll need two different Microsoft Accounts with one purchase of Minecraft each.

    On the steps you mentioned, I believe you tried to do it with the same Microsoft/Xbox account, right?

    This is a public user-to-user support forum. We are expert users helping other users. We do not work for Microsoft and do not have access to any user accounts.

    If this still can't solve your problem, just let me know and I'll do my best to try to help you.

    Minecraft Java Edition disappeared from my Microsoft account

    Yes, that's fine. I have two Minecraft accounts, and two Microsoft accounts to go with them. However, only one of the Microsoft accounts is showing that it has a Minecraft account (that being the latest account that I brought). The other one is not. The two accounts are also completely separate, and have nothing to do with each other. I definitely migrated Minecraft to the correct account, and as I said, it did work initially. I have also tried logging in with my original Mojang account, before I migrated, but that doesn't work either. I have checked all of these accounts.

    Minecraft account stolen

    To clarify, the account was definitely migrated to a microsoft account, but it's been a minute since i logged on so just in case i tried logging on with every e-mail adress i had. In the end there was two e-mail adresses with existing microsoft accounts that simply made a new profile in minecraft and didn't log into the bought account (which is displayed on my launcher, the one i can't access) and two e-mail adresses that said their respective microsoft accounts didn't exist, but one of those e-mails (the ones whose microsoft accounts didn't exist) has the transaction reciept, and i assume i kept the minecraft account tied to the google account i used to buy the game (since the two existing microsoft accounts do not register the bought minecraft account). So now im not sure which microsoft account was tied to the minecraft profile, which is mostly the reason as to why im not sure where to ask for help.

    Two xbox accounts on the same Microsoft account

    Hello, I have a similar but different problem. In my case, I migrated a Mojang account to a Microsoft account and ended up with two Xbox profiles. It seemed to me that the migration process created the second profile instead of re-using the existing one.

    In the Minecraft Launcher, there are now two Xbox profiles available to choose from. One of them is indeed the migrated account and the other one is not (it contains all the other games associated with this Microsoft account except Minecraft).

    I can play the Minecraft game, all realms are visible (own and friends) exactly as before the migration, all good so far. But my own realm has expired despite it being automatically renewed up until the migration (I think the migration terminated the auto subscription).

    My problem is now that I can not log into the Minecraft Realms service with the Microsoft account because the default Xbox profile is not the one with the migrated Mojang account. It seems that the Minecraft Realms service makes assumptions about the associated Xbox tag and uses the default to identify the user, or at least it seems that way. It doesn't recognize that a Microsoft account can have several Xbox profiles/tags associated with it.
