Hello River Heyburn,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with Minecraft Bedrock. The error message you're seeing means that the Microsoft account you're trying to use to sign in to Minecraft Bedrock is already connected to another Minecraft account. This could be because you previously used a different Minecraft account with the same Microsoft account, or because someone else has used your Microsoft account to sign in to Minecraft.



To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:



1. Go to the Xbox website and sign in with the Microsoft account you're trying to use to sign in to Minecraft Bedrock.

2. Click on "Profile & settings" and then "Account settings".

3. Under "Your info", click on "Sign-in preferences".

4. Make sure that "Ask for my password" is selected under "Security preferences".

5. Scroll down to "Apps and services" and click on "Apps and services that can access your account".

6. Look for Minecraft Bedrock in the list of apps and services and click on it.

7. Click on "Remove these permissions" and confirm that you want to remove Minecraft Bedrock's access to your Microsoft account.

8. Try signing in to Minecraft Bedrock again with your Microsoft account.



If this doesn't work, please connect with our live support team.



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

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.

good evening

To use your Java version of Minecraft on PC, you need to log out of the Microsoft account on the game. To do this, follow these steps:

Open Minecraft on your PC.

Click on the "Settings" option from the main menu.

Scroll down to the "Accounts" section.

Click on the "Microsoft" option.

Click on the "Sign Out" button.

After signing out, you should be able to use your existing Minecraft account for the Java version of the game.

Hi eprompc,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community Forum. I hope you're doing

Based on your description, you are asking if it is okay to purchase a new Minecraft Bedrock on the same Microsoft Account that has already an existing Minecraft Bedrock account. I would be happy to answer your question.

To answer your question, it is not possible for you to have two Minecraft Bedrock account on the same Microsoft Account. You will need to have a separate Microsoft Account if you want to purchase a new Minecraft account. As stated on the support article that each Minecraft purchase will use a different Microsoft account login. Minecraft for Windows: Multiple Accounts on One Computer – Home

Hope it answers your questions.

Sincerely,
