I'm stuck in Minecraft Java DEMO mode after migrating my Mojang account to Microsoft

CompuStone · Nov 7, 2021

I know this problem has been posted a lot, but however, I don't know why, but I can't play my Minecraft JAVA worlds after migrating my account to Microsoft.

I already own the game, but it still acts like I didn't purchased it.

I tried multiple tips to get it back, like:

-> sign off/sign on to my account, but it still doesn't work.

-> I can't go back to my old Mojang account with the license in, to get my game back, but since it is already migrated, I can't go back in it.

I don't want to pay my game again, so please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Billybob008,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

I can see that you are having issues with Minecraft wherein it's telling you to play demo. As per Jesse E' posted on the article :I'm stuck in Minecraft Java DEMO mode after migrating my Mojang - Microsoft Community

It's not in the migration instructions, but after the migration, you have to ADD a NEW account, and link it to your Microsoft account. Startup will take longer, but it sure works.

On the login prompt in the java launcher, go back. You'll see the mojang account you had been signing into - ignore it, and add a new account to the launcher. Using the email address associated with the microsoft account you just migrated to, sign in with the email address and password of your microsoft account. It's not an elegant migration on the UX side of things, but it does work.

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.

I am logging into Minecraft Java Edition with the Microsoft account that I migrated my Mojang account to, and instead of being a full/paid version of Minecraft, it is only offering me to play the Minecraft "demo" version.

Hello everyone,

Perhaps I did something wrong.

Sadly, that's all I got Compu. That's the solution, I'm surprised it hasn't worked for you
