2 Minecraft accounts but only one email to use for managing them in Microsoft?

DavidM_365 · Nov 7, 2021

I have two Minecraft Java accounts, one is a Mojang account the other is a Microsoft account (parent and child accounts). The Mojang account needs to be migrated to Microsoft, but both share the same user email because I manage the child account. Microsoft will only allow one copy or "user" account for Minecraft per Microsoft account so I need to add a new Microsoft account for the Mojang migration.

Is there some way to manage these accounts together with a single email address? Or do I need to get new emails for every Minecraft account I want to add?

I've tried the migration assistant and it seem like Microsoft will not let me merge these copies of Minecraft under a single account, or use the same email for diff accounts. This is making managing a family of Minecraft users VERY difficult.

Thanks all. If Microsoft is listening at all, this is an absurd way to manage these accounts. Most families I know have multiple child accounts for Minecraft, those accounts should be able to be managed by a single parent and a single email account. It is at a minimum costing them my next Minecraft purchase.

Hello there,

Each account should only be linked to one email address.

First, welcome to the Xbox community.

We appreciate your coming to the Xbox community, only one account can be linked to an email, you will need to get new emails for each Minecraft account created, as they will be different licenses.

*Thanks in advance for contacting us, I hope this can help you.

You can't delete the random tag but with the use of a third email you can swap them around.

Swap the email of the random account to a new one, then swap the email you want to the account you want.

It is a roundabout way of doing it but it is your only option.
