Im trying to link my Microsoft account to Minecraft but it won't work

Dear Gavin Milligan

Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the Community.

For your description of your problem with linking Microsoft accounts on Sony's Playstation reporting an error, have you played minecraft on the Playstation before or linked another account, if so, you can follow your method below:

Even if you can unlink the account, Sony won't allow you to link other Microsoft accounts later: How to Link Microsoft and PlayStation Accounts.

How to Link Your Microsoft Account to Minecraft on PlayStation | Minecraft Help

Note: After you link a Microsoft account to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be linked to another account.



If you choose to unlink an account, the purchase transaction will be returned to the account from which the purchase was made. Even if unlinked, Microsoft and PlayStation® accounts can only be re-associated to the original account.



Again, this is a Sony restriction. It is not a restriction imposed by Microsoft/Minecraft.Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes

Hello Samy, Im good, how about you?

Thanks for replying! I appreciate it very much! The problem with my minecraft account now is that when I migrated it I used my own gmail account but when I bought my minecraft account I used my dad's gmail account to buy it. I saw on youtube that you had to use the same gmail account as when you bought minecraft to link your minecraft account to a microsoft account. But I didn't do that I used my own instead of my dad's. So basically what Im trying to say is how do i change my microsoft account that i linked to my minecraft account?

Since my Microsoft account was linked to my Minecraft account I lost access to my Minecraft account cause someone deleted my Microsoft account. Now Im not sure what happens but I was wondering if i would be possible to link a diffrent Microsoft account to an already migrated Minecraft account.

(*Moved from feedback.)

Unfortunately not. If the Microsoft account that your Minecraft account was migrated to was deleted then your Minecraft would be essentially deleted along with it.

Hi Jzermene,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your Minecraft. I understand that you are getting the error code "Drowned". This usually happens due to a corrupted profile. Please clear your account sign in data by doing these steps:

Open the Settings tab in Minecraft and go to your Profile

Select "Clear Account Sign In Data" and confirm, then exit the game

Relaunch Minecraft

Try to sign in again using your Microsoft account
