Migrating my old minecraft java account

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.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

That's normal, you can't access the old Mojang account after the migration, you need to use the email you used to migrate the Mojang account to, in the launcher you need to select Minecraft Java and then Microsoft login and then use the email you use during the migration process

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you need help with the recover of your old Minecraft account that missed the migration period.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectations properly, in your case that you missed the migration period it means you no longer have access to your Java Edition account or Minecraft: Java Edition. And if you wish to continue playing Minecraft, you will have to buy Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition using a Microsoft account.

For your reference about what happens to the accounts that missed the migration, please open this link: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/19...

Thank you for your cooperation.

I think I have only one since when I migrated my old account to a microsoft account I used the same email as the microsoft account I made from Minecraft for android. However doing so removed, like I've said, to my mojang migrated account that had my java Minecraft. By minecraft gaming, I mean whatever login I use when I click the sign in button

I've linked my migration email with details, clearly showing that I had a java Minecraft account, and as for Minecraft for android well I already have access to it. However whenever I signed up on it, it removed my Mojang migrated account

I have the same issue, they're a month late migrating the accounts. I'm locked out of minecraft until that happens.
