I don't know what Microsoft email is tied to my Minecraft account

Wulvurine · Oct 19, 2023

So here's the rundown of my problem

Have had Minecraft since 2012 with the Mojang email attached to it, which I know the password to.

2021 I successfully migrated my Mojang account when the migration started to roll out.

Now the problem is that I don't know what email this account has migrated to. It was something I just did and completely forgot about as stupid as it sound, and now I need this email so I can access my account and change my Minecraft username.

I have two Microsoft accounts, my main one is for my Xbox, and the other is a spare, but none of them are attached to my Minecraft Java account because when I sign them both into the Minecraft website, it does not show under my games that I own Minecraft: Java edition, and it asks me to purchase it, even though I already own it and can play it right now.

I do not want to sign out of the Minecraft Java launcher to check, for fear of losing my account forever, I have been signed into the launcher for a long time.

The only thing I have to go by is:

in the top left corner of the Minecraft Java launcher, it shows my in-game Minecraft username and my Minecraft username again followed by 4 numbers above it. I am unsure if this is a Microsoft account.

When in the Java launcher I can go into account settings and click both manage accounts, but they only take me to my current Microsoft accounts that are signed in and do not have Minecraft on the account.

I am not sure where I can go with this or what I need to provide, I have Minecraft: Java edition that I need to know the email of.

Any help or guidance will be appreciated.

Hi there! I'm more than happy to help you!

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

You are correct, do not sign out of your Minecraft launcher.

In order to find the Microsoft account where your Minecraft account was associated, you will need to sign into all of your other Microsoft emails accounts on account.microsoft.com > then go to Payment and Billing > Order History.

From there, check if you have any Minecraft java edition transactions. If you have found the transactions which means that is the same account that is linked with your Minecraft.

Please take your time and let me know if it works.

Best Regards,

Hi, Is there a way to know wich Microsoft account Is tied to my Minecraft account? I can't access the account anymore and i don't know the email/Microsoft account tied to It

I dont believe there is any other way other than signing into every Microsoft account you own to see which one has Minecraft on it. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Update: I don't know why, I don't know how, but for some bizzare reason that I couldn't WISH to explain I somehow logged into the Minecraft launcher with my microsoft account WITHOUT KNOWING ANY CREDENTIALS AT ALL!!!

I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED

I now have access to my Minecraft (NOT Microsoft) account without knowing the email or the password.
What do I do now???

also I have forgotten the email so I want to know what Microsoft account is linked to my ps4 account so I know what email to use when trying to link my account to play Minecraft.

The forms asks for the email of the microsoft account I'm trying to recover, but the thing is I don't remember it. Recently, I found the Xbox Gamertag associated with the email. So, all the pieces of information I have are my Minecraft and Mojang account information, and the Gamertag of the microsoft account. The issue is that I don't know the email address of the microsoft account.
