How do I link my minecraft account back with a microsoft account using transaction or order ID?

Hey Russell!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

Your Minecraft account must have migrated to the original Microsoft account email address where it was first created.

You can check out this link for further information regarding Minecraft account migration:

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/36...

In order to re-link your Minecraft account to another Microsoft account, you will need to contact the game developer Mojang for further assistance as they have the tools on their end to manage your Minecraft account from their server database. You can contact them here at these links:

https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request... or https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new...

After submitting the ticket, you will receive an update from them within 24 - 48 hours.

Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day!

Hello Martin! I hope you are doing well. I understand you need help getting your account back.

If you used a Microsoft account to purchase Minecraft, you can try the Microsoft Account Recovery process. Visit account.live.com/acsr and follow the instructions to recover your account using any available information, such as your phone number or alternate email address.

I also suggest contacting Minecraft Support at this link:

Please have your transaction ID ready, as Minecraft support may ask for it. You can check this link for instructions on how to find your transaction ID.

The transaction doesn't appear on your Microsoft account order history?

Or did you purchased Minecraft Java Edition only?

If the transaction doesn't appear in your Microsoft account order history but you have an email from Minecraft about this purchase with order ID or transaction ID, according to this official article you may need to contact them for the refund

Hello Jayden Hong,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Based on support article from Mojang, there are a few ways to find your transaction ID:

• After your purchase, check your confirmation email for the transaction ID and order number.
  
• Look in your Inbox for an email sent by Mojang Studios (noreply@mojang.com) to locate your transaction ID.
  
• Check your spam or junk folder if you don't see it in your Inbox.
  
• If you used a gift code or PIN from a Minecraft prepaid card, that code is used to verify account ownership.
  

Note for Minecraft: Java Edition players: Only Minecraft: Java Edition purchases made before 7/25/2022 will generate a Minecraft Transaction ID which is helpful for the Minecraft account recovery process. Minecraft: Java Edition purchases made after 7/25/2022 use a Microsoft account and will not create a Transaction ID.

If you made a purchase after 7/25/2022, your order went through Microsoft, and will instead have an Order ID. Please reach out to Microsoft for refund assistance or an account recovery.



If you lost your Transaction ID - Mojang cannot provide Transaction IDs for any reason. If you cannot find the email, you may be able to locate it using your payment method information.

Note: Because a transaction ID is considered proof of account ownership, we do not recommend purchasing a used account from another player. Mojang Studios cannot provide support if you made your purchase through a non-authorized website, reseller, or another player.

If you cannot locate an email or transaction ID, or if your purchase was not made by any of the following payment methods, contact Minecraft Support.
