Can I transfer my son's minecraft hero game data to his own microsoft account?

Hi there!

Unfortunately, game licenses and game data cannot be transferred from one account to another. It will always stay on that particular account. Our best option is for you to create another Microsoft/Xbox account.

Hi, around 2011 I purchased Minecraft Java for my son using my own email (this Microsoft account). So naturally when we migrated the Mojang account it got migrated to my personal Microsoft account. Now my son is an adult, and due to safety and privacy reasons we would like to transfer the Minecraft user to my sons own Microsoft account, and was wondering if that was possible?

Unfortunately nothing is transferable between accounts.

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that your son is currently using your Microsoft account to play Minecraft and you want to see if his account can be transferred to his own Microsoft account.

Unfortunately, Minecraft's license to play the game is bound to a Microsoft account. This means that it can never be removed or transferred from the account when you initially purchased the license to play the game.

Regards,

Alvaro

My teenager has her own Microsoft account, but prior to that started playing Minecraft on Xbox One on my account; she's a huge Minecraft fan, has built huge worlds, and now wants to continue on her own account. Can I transfer all the Minecraft data and her progress on my account to hers?

Thanks for your reply.

My son currently uses my microsoft account to sign in to minecraft, however, I've noticed that my confidential word docs etc are available on his laptop now.

He doesn't want to lose his progress, but I don't want to to have my documents on his machine.

The question is, can I allow him to access the game only from his own lap top so that he doesn't lose his progress, without also granting him access to my work files? Or can I transfer his progress to his own microsoft account?
