How can I find an unknown Microsoft account that my minecraft purchases are linked to?

I have been trying to transfer the minecraft purchases on my ipad to my computer. I had always thought the purchases were not linked to an account, however after reaching out to minecraft support they informed me it was. However I have no idea what this account could be or how to find it and minecraft support was unable to help as they did not have access to Microsofts account information. I have the DID and MCID from the minecraft app on my ipad, is there any way this could be used to help me find the account my purchases are linked to?

Hi Yahia

Sorry to hear about that, however, when you play on iPad - when that specific "Microsoft account" logs in to your iPad, and purchase things off the Marketplace, you will be charged through your Apple account/Apple store. So technically, the purchase would not reflect on the Microsoft account that was used. And at this point, there's no way to confirm which account logs in to your game to purchase off items unless you try and check all your accounts one by one.

Hi kathy- minecraft is suggesting my game is linked to an unknown Microsoft account. Can you help find this?

I am attempting to connect my microsoft account with my Ps4 account. My microsoft account is already connected to a Ps4 minecraft account. How do I find what Minecraft account is using my microsoft account and to disconnect it from it.

Even if you could disconnect it you wont be able to link a different Microsoft account.

Per https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037725571-Minecraft-for-PlayStation-4-FAQ

Note: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be associated with a different account. 

If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account which made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-linked to the original account.

Note: As of March 15, 2023, please DO NOT unlink your MSA from your PlayStation account via the in-game menu. You will be unable to link it back if you do so.

This is a restriction imposed by Sony.

I am sorry to hear that.

I believe you can only link one PSN account to one Minecraft account, if you disconnect it, I don't believe you will be able to link another PSN account to it.

I took this from the Minecraft site:

"WARNING: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation Network account can be associated with a different account.

If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account that made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation accounts can only be re-linked to the original account."

Sadly, there is no method for us to find which account you used.

I have this same error.

Except to my knowledge I have never linked my Microsoft account and PSN before trying to do so today. I only recently linked my Java edition minecraft to my Microsoft account, and today thought I'd try the Playstation version of the game. When I log into my microsoft account it says it is already connected to a different account.

How can I find out which Microsoft account has been linked to my PSN?
