    I have to pay Minecraft again after migrating my account


    Hello,

    I migrated my Mojang account earlier this week. During the migration I decided to create a new Microsoft account. After that, on my launcher and my account from the Minecraft.net site told me to buy the game (which I had paid for in 2016).
    I tried to sign in with this Microsoft account on both the launcher and the Microsoft Store but nothing worked.

    I would like to have my game again. Thank you for your help.

    :)

    I have to pay Minecraft again after migrating my account

    Hi Clairbyy, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    1. Please double-check you are logging in to the same Microsoft account you used to migrate your Mojang account.

    2. Make sure you are not logging in with your Mojang account. Migrated accounts will only be able to log in with your Microsoft account.

    Once confirmed, kindly sign out on your Minecraft Launcher and then restart your PC before signing back in. You can also check this link: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

    How do I change my minecraft account and username data to a different microsoft account?

    Hi Uso. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Once a Minecraft account is migrated to a Microsoft account, it is permanently associated with that account. Unfortunately, you can't change this after migrating.

    To clarify, you are having issues accessing Minecraft on the account you migrated it to?

    Can only access minecraft Java Demo despite multiple purchases

    I have emails indicating my migration to Microsoft was successful, so I believe the path is the second one provided. However, I have never been able to play after the migration. I only have microsoft accounts associated with 2 emails. I have never created any others. I can log in to both Microsoft accounts with emails that received the successful migration email, but neither of them have minecraft license showing. Again, I do not have any other Microsoft accounts.

    Need to buy Minecraft again after migration?

    Hello. I had the same problem for a while to and it made me really mad. I realized that after your migration all you need to do is type in your computer," How do I migrate my Mojang account to Microsoft" and then you go to the Minecraft website thing that comes up and do the migration officially again. This made it (for me) so that I could play Minecraft after doing the migration again. That's all you have to do! (I don't know if this works only with me for some reason but I hope it does)

    Hope it helps!

    P.S. I think it's like this because you didn't migrate your account officially (like me) so it's not hocked to your Mojang account. Hope this works for you!
