How to recover Minecraft accounts (on bedrock edition) made before Microsoft acquired mojang

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. From what you reported, I believe your account is still a Mojang account, you would need to migrate it to a Microsoft account, but if you no longer have access to your Mojang account, you should contact game support.

If you have access to your Mojang account, you can migrate it to your Microsoft account by following the instructions in the article below.

- If you do not have access to your Mojang account, you will need to contact game support via the link below.

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

When Minecraft stopped working, I used my Microsoft account. And this issue happened after I changed my main alias from E-Mail 2 to E-Mail 1. I can play Minecraft if I log in with my E-Mail 2.

I purchased Minecraft on my Mojang account before the migration, but I don't use my mojang account and that Microsoft account that was migrated to.

With my Mojang account (E-Mail 1) migrated to Microsoft account (E-Mail 4) I bad the Java Edition. With my first Microsoft account (E-Mail 1, now 3) I had Minecraft Bedrock Edition. And with the other MIcrosoft account (E-Mail 2, now 1) I have both Java and Bedrock.

I purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft Account (E-Mail 1, now 3) from the Microsoft Store and I purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft account (E-Mail 2, now 1) from the Microsoft Store but the Java Edition I purchased from minecraft.net. On my Mojang account (E-Mail 1, now migrated to Microsoft Account with E-Mail 3) I bought Minecraft Java from minecraft.net.

Also again my order history will NOT say I purchased Minecraft because I did not. As stated before, I got minecraft bedrock because Mojang gave a free code to redeem Bedrock for all Mojang users that purchased Java Edition before a certain date see article below:

How do I get free bedrock if I have Java? (wikilivre.org)

"Windows 10 has the legacy Java Edition as well as the modern Bedrock Edition. If you bought the Java Edition before October 19, 2018, you can redeem a free copy of the Bedrock Edition. You can also buy the Windows 10 edition directly from Microsoft for $20."

I did redeem this code, so again what gives?

I have one Mojang account with Java edition, and the other account is a Microsoft account with Bedrock-Windows 10 edition. I migrated the Mojang account to the Microsoft account with Bedrock.

I don't agree with Microsoft forcing Minecraft users to switch from a Mojang account to a Microsoft account. They could easily add two-factor authentication to the existing Mojang account service so that argument is invalid. I can't help but feel that they've wanted to do this ever since Microsoft acquired Mojang back in 2014. Eventually, I believe they will also remove the Java Edition of Minecraft, perhaps in the next few years or so. This will force all existing players to buy the Bedrock edition which will generate a lot of revenue for Microsoft. I've had a blast with the game and if they want to delete my account because I refused to migrate then I say let them.

Ok..............thanks for sharing.
