migrated Minecraft Mojang account to Microsoft and lost access to java edition of the game

Everyone who bought the bedrock edition has the access to Java edition, you just need to migrate the Mojang account to a Microsoft account, which gets you access to the java edition.

Hello,



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you're having trouble logging into your Minecraft Java account. It sounds like there may be some confusion with your email address and account information.



For us to be on the same page, may we know when did you migrated your Minecraft account to Microsoft account?

We would like to show you a timeline of the migration process so you will be aware of what could have happened to your Minecraft Java:

• 10/21/2020 - Minecraft Support first announce migration of Java to Microsoft account. (You will get to keep your Minecraft Java username.)
  
  • Java Edition is moving house | Minecraft
    
• 3/10/2022 - Last call to voluntary migrates Java accounts.
  
  • Last call to voluntarily migrate Java accounts | Minecraft
    
• 9/19/2023 - Last call to migration of Mojang account to Microsoft account with access of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition for Windows and free cape. This allows you to access to both Java and Bedrock editions and unmigrated Mojang accounts will not be able to sign in to Minecraft.net or the Minecraft Launcher to migrate.
  
  • Account migration last call | Minecraft
    
• 12/18/2023 - End of post-migration process - You no longer have access to your Java Edition account or Minecraft: Java Edition. Your capes and skins were tied to your previous Java Edition account and are not recoverable. Usernames will not be released until a later date.

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.

Hi Ran4Cat, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

Based on the information you have provided, you are right, you don't have to do anything to play the full Java edition of Minecraft if you migrated your Mojang account to a Microsoft account 2 years ago. Your account is now migrated and you will be able to continue playing Minecraft as you did before.

The notification you saw about account migration before September 19 was referring to Mojang accounts that had not yet been migrated. If you had not migrated your account before September 19, you would have lost access to the full Java edition of Minecraft.

So, rest assured, your account is safe and you can continue playing Minecraft as you did before.

I hope that my answer that I gave you has been useful to you, have a happy day Merry Christmas

Hey there, bb_029

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Are you signed into the right Microsoft account?

Sometimes this happens when people sign into a second account, then don't realise when they try, and access games purchased on that account.

With Minecraft, did you migrate your Mojang account to your Microsoft account?

All Mojang accounts have slowly been migrated to Microsoft accounts, thus transferring the purchased content over to the Microsoft account. Here is a support article that explains this: Mojang to Microsoft account migration FAQ | Xbox Support

The announcement on Minecraft.net: Minecraft: Java Edition Account Migration FAQ – Home

Hope this helps,

Nathan
