    Incorrect gamertag when logging into Minecraft on Nintendo Switch


    Hello, my son signed out of the Minecraft account on his Nintendo Switch and now when we try to login in again, a different gamertag has been assigned and all of his friends and accomplishments/earnings have disappeared. We've tried signing in with the email I thought was initially used as well as tried a few other ones we have but aren't having any luck. Is there anything that can be done to see why we don't seem to have access to the previous gamertag?

    :)

    Incorrect gamertag when logging into Minecraft on Nintendo Switch

    Hey Christopher, I don't believe so. He was logged but then logged out as the game was glitching- he figured if he logged out and back in again, it would solve the issue. When we tried to login again with what I thought was the email address we'd used before, that's when he says the gamertag changed and all of his stuff disappeared. I have gamertag he says it should've been (to be honest, I don't remember what the gamertag said before however it's one he uses in other games so I do think it's likely accurate) and I know his account had accomplishments and other friends connected to it. Is there anything we can do or does he need to start from scratch again?

    Well first of all I recommend contacting Minecraft support to see if they can help you recover all the lost stuff! And also,I recommend trying to login to the Xbox.com website to see if he can see the old account there!

    Here's Mojang support page! https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/requests/new

    I am eligible to get bedrock edition for free because I bought Java edition in January 2022. How do I set up bedrock edition on my Nintendo switch for free?

    Here's a step-by-step guide that may help you locate it:

    Go to the official Minecraft website and click on the "Log in" button in the top right-hand corner of the page.

    Enter your Mojang account login details and click on the "Log in" button.

    Once you have logged in, you should see a navigation menu at the top of the page. Click on the "Games" tab.

    In the dropdown menu that appears, click on "Minecraft."

    Scroll down the Minecraft page until you see the "Minecraft for Nintendo Switch" section.

    Next to the "Minecraft for Nintendo Switch" section, there should be a button labeled "Redeem." Click on this button.

    You will then be prompted to log in to your Nintendo account. Follow the instructions to log in to your Nintendo account.

    After you have logged in to your Nintendo account, you will be redirected back to the Mojang website. You should see a message confirming that your free copy of Minecraft Bedrock Edition has been added to your Nintendo account.

    On your Nintendo Switch, go to the Nintendo eShop and search for "Minecraft." Select "Minecraft" from the search results and click on "Download" to download and install Minecraft Bedrock Edition on your Nintendo Switch.

    Hello JuleN95 sorry the content is unable to be found at this time you can try this to see if it all show up.

    I own Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition and I’ve bought previous DLC. How do I get it to sync to Minecraft?

    1. Log into Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition on your Switch account. This will sync the latest purchases.
    2. Log into the Minecraft on your Switch and you’ll be automatically granted the entitlements for that DLC.
    Note For every purchase you make on the previous version, you must first log into
    Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition, exit, and then launch the new Bedrock version for purchases to sync. DLC purchased within
    Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition will only remain on your Nintendo Switch device and will not carried over into other devices.
