Error Connecting to Account Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Switch

good morning

To set up Bedrock Edition on your Nintendo Switch for free after purchasing Java Edition in January 2022, you will need to follow these steps:

Log in to your Mojang account on the official Minecraft website.

Go to your account settings and look for the "Claim your free copy of Minecraft" option.

Select the "Redeem" button next to the Nintendo Switch option.

You will be prompted to enter your Nintendo Switch account details.

Once you have entered your Nintendo Switch account details, the Bedrock Edition will be added to your account.

Go to the Nintendo eShop on your Switch and search for "Minecraft."

Download and install the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.

We are both using Nintendo switch but we are playing Minecraft. Not console edition. Bedrock edition if you will.

You can already earn Xbox achievements on a Nintendo switch.

You need to log into an Xbox account on the bedrock edition of minecraft for Switch.

Happy to see that they are taking further steps into this now.

I'd forgot to mention that I had bought Minecraft Java on a different account. But after losing that account I had made a new account. When I switched over, I was given Minecraft bedrock (Minecraft windows 10 edition) not Minecraft Java.

Minecraft bedrock edition and I didn't have an account it was a bedrock account
