Migrated to a Microsoft account; says I don't own Minecraft: Java Edition.

KrissKrossKomaeda · Dec 3, 2021

I have migrated my Mojang account over to a Microsoft one. I own Java Edition on this account, but it says I do not.

I also had a copy of Minecraft Bedrock using the same Microsoft account that I had been playing with via the Microsoft Store.

It also doesn't use the username I had on JE, "SeveralFlowers", and instead shows up as my Bedrock Minecraft account's username.

I know this account has Java Edition, and have the receipt if need be and migration email. They are both under "SeveralFlowers". I have another Mojang account for my original Minecraft account that I am too scared to migrate because of this issue. It has been months since I migrated and I still can't get Java Edition back. It's beyond irritating.

Yes, the migration completed successfully. It showed me the confirmation message and everything. My skin is even transported to the Microsoft account, and I can log in with it both in Mojang site (It no longer lets me log in with the Mojang account, only with Microsoft account), and the launcher. But it says I don't own Minecraft java Edition, and only lets me play demo.

Then it means that you are not using the right email or the migration process wasn't completed, please check the information in this link, look for the section:

"I logged into the launcher with my Microsoft account but it says I don't own Minecraft: Java Edition"

That’s odd because if this is the Minecraft for Windows it will be purchased through Microsoft Store. The Minecraft that can be purchased through Mojang is Minecraft Java Edition.

Kindly make sure that you’re signed in under the account where the Mojang account was migrated. Please try other Microsoft accounts as well.

Thanks Francia, maybe i am mistaken and it is java edition that I own.
I would like to add that when I log into minecraft.net and click on 'Get Minecraft' > 'Minecraft Java Edition' it gives me a download option NOT a buy option and says beside it "Already own Minecraft? Download it again."

I have submitted a ticket to Mojang with screenshots of everything so hopefully, we will be able to figure this out soon.

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.

The exact same problem happened to me too. I migrated my Minecraft account to Microsoft, worked fine for a while until just today, now it says I don't own the game, even on the website. Makes no sense, I sure hope this isn't some purposeful treachery on their part and gets fixed soon.
